After the Tyrant Dressed As a Woman Disguised As a Man

In front of the border fortress of Qi State, in front of Yumen Pass, a young general in military armor stands on the city barrier used for garrison.

Gu Xiao and his best friend looked at the soldiers and horses in the drill under the city, and before they had time to express their opinions, they heard the reports from their soldiers.

"Report, the capital is anxious! The messenger has arrived at the wharf in the city!"

The young general looked back from a distance, turned his head and asked his subordinates: "What did he bring, supplies of money, food and clothing?"

The latter wiped the sweat from his forehead: "It's just a messenger, without anything."

"I didn't bring me here for anything, I have nothing!"

Gu Xiao's soldiers were very good, basically he had a bowl of rice, and there were all these soldiers who had thrown their heads in the hall.

But how much he likes these soldiers who fight with him on the battlefield, and how much he hates the insidious and cunning hyenas in the court.

These people can only play tricks, open their mouths and shut their mouths because the imperial court spends too much money on them, thinking of ways to deduct money from them.

The frontier conditions are difficult. Those dog officials wear gold and silver every day, and the ladies of the family do nothing. With a mouth from their fathers, just buying jewelry may be able to spend all the expenses of 10,000 people in the army.

Gu Xiao would barely be able to squeeze a business smile and give him a good face if he gave money and rice. But nothing,

Gu Xiao hesitated.

His lieutenant, Wei Han, who is also a military commander, persuaded him: "You know what those people look like, and their faces have to pass. This winter is very cold. If you want the soldiers to live a better life, you still have to do a good job on the surface. "

He also knew what a dog-like temper his boss and friend was, and just said: "If you are not willing to say it, just listen to me, and you just scream on the side."

Gu Xiao didn't know how to measure. It was during this time that he knew that there were a lot of frostbite among the soldiers. He was suffocated in his heart. He restrained a little and put on a stinky expressionless face: "Okay. I'll go with you, if I want to beat someone, you stop me a little bit."

When they passed by, the messenger only arrived at the docking station not long before he could breathe smoothly. Seeing them coming, he gave a military salute politely.

He looked decent. He didn't look like the little white face in the capital, but he was in the dust all the way. Gu Xiao's attitude immediately eased a lot. The messenger galloped for thousands of miles and broke the legs of several horses on the road. It was not easy. .

The messenger held up the imperial edict: "The emperor's edict, General Gu Xiao takes the edict!"

The status of the courtiers of Qi court was very high. No matter whether it was the upper dynasty or the peace day, there was no need to kneel, but the royal orders, imperial orders, and edicts would kneel.

Wei Han gave Gu Xiao a hand, but the latter did not get angry, and knelt down very obediently.

The edict is more formulaic, which is to announce that when the son is changed, one is to announce the death of the first emperor, and the other is to announce that the prince is on the throne, and the emperor is going to be enthroned, so Gu Xiao is called to take his guards back to Beijing to report on duty.

After all, the frontier needs someone to garrison at any time, and currently Qiao Qing has no one who can replace the soldiers under Gu Xiao's command.

The frontier fortress was far away from the capital, and news was very slow to pass. When the old emperor was dead and the crown prince was succeeded to the throne, Gu Xiao's face changed at that time.

It was because of Wei Han's various winks behind him that he forced his words down and didn't say anything that shouldn't be said in front of the messenger.

The emperor issued an edict to recall him, regardless of the jackal and tiger and leopard in front of him, he could not resist the decree.

After all, there is no war. Gu's family has always been loyal, and Gu Xiao will not let his ancestors be infamy because of his own rebellious ministers and thieves.

"We will prepare and invite the adults to enter the house to take a rest. After we notify the soldiers, our general will reorganize the luggage and return to Beijing with you."

It was Wei Han who was in charge of playing the official language. After he said this, he signaled Xiaobing to invite the adult from the capital to rest, and he dragged Gu Xiao to the internal account for private discussion.

"The second prince died two years ago. The first emperor has only one son left by the prince. He will be in the position. It is not something to be shocking. If you have that expression just now, if it falls in the eyes of the people, you will have to be used by them. article."

"I don't think the emperor died too soon."

In his memory, the emperor's body was strong, at least he looked much more comfortable than the sickly little white-faced prince.

Wei Han said, "It's not just right to go back. As a courtier, you have to keep your filial piety for the first emperor. At least when you go back now, the old ladies and others can't force you to see the girl."

It would be okay if it had been decided early, these noble families in the near future just want to get married, and they will definitely not be allowed to do a big deal within a year.

Speaking of the old lady, Gu Xiao's face became as stinky as constipation.

Gu Xiao has been a general from generation to generation. In Gu Xiao's generation, he is the only seedling left in his generation. Originally, the Gu family wanted him to follow the literary work, and An Anxin to pass on the family from generation to generation, and somehow leave an incense for the Gu family.

But Gu Xiao refused. He didn't like dancing and writing since he was a child. He was so stubborn that he really didn't want to see those girls in Beijing.

In this court that emphasized cultural and military affairs, their Gu family originally came from a poor family. Today's knighthood is achieved by three generations of people on the battlefield.

It's not that he didn't know that those people were greedy for his knighthood, but behind their backs, those noble families, he also disliked him for not having literary talents and being a rude person.

There is also the fact that the literati like to be white now. Those elder brothers of the family have never suffered, and they are already fair enough. What kind of lead powder can they apply to make them look like ghosts.

Gu Xiao has been fighting on the battlefield for many years. His complexion is much older than his peers, and he is still a healthy wheat color. Although the three courts and five eyes are very standard and handsome, they are not popular with the mainstream.

He doesn't like the beautiful ladies in Beijing, whose tears fall motionlessly, and those women don't necessarily like him.

In order to avoid forced marriage, and the frontier was in a hurry more than a year ago, Gu Xiao has not returned to the capital for two years.

Thinking of the mess in the capital, Gu Xiao knotted his brows. He took the water bag and drank a few drools. As the young general's Adam's apple rolled up and down, this handsome face relaxed slightly.

"I'm not afraid that the little white face of the prince will yell at me, and you don't know that I have gotten an enemy with him."

In fact, he was able to come to the border so smoothly two years ago because he greatly offended the prince who had a smaller mind than a needle.

At that time, he was caught in the calculations of others, thinking that the prince was the kind of little white face that bullied others, so he beat the prince.

Because the prince was weaker than others, because of him, he was ill at that time. It was still a particularly aggressive type of disease. Before the caring person had an attack, he immediately ran to the frontier.

Just at the point of the joint, the emperor's second son died, and the emperor was left with such a living son. He didn't panic. He compensated the prince and wanted to repair the relationship between the father and son.

After the death of the prince son, the Gu family was even more afraid to let him come back.

In the past two years, he has made a lot of merits on the battlefield, and the emperor has not promoted him, and the reward has also been reduced a lot. This is all in the heart of Prince An.

Gu Xiao was worried: "You said the prince is so careful, will you want to kill me when you return to Beijing this time?"

Qiao Qing in the palace sneezed a few times, and for the sake of her fragile body, she drank a bowl of cold decoction.

Her body is not as bad as the rumor, but she is indeed weaker than ordinary people. She will linger on the bed for many days when she gets sick, which greatly affects the efficiency of office work.

The key is that she doesn't drink it, and the father-in-law and court lady who served her since childhood have to wipe their tears. These are the kind of honest servants who are willing to sacrifice their fame for Qiao Qing. No matter how hard Qiao Qing's heart is, he is also afraid of such care without **** and tears.

After drinking the medicine, Qiao Qing stuffed two candied fruits into her mouth. Her current body bones are indeed not stronger than her original ones, so she still has to stay up a little bit less.

She was pulled by her side and slept peacefully in the warm temple.

In the border town, Wei Han's tone was cool, and his words were harsher than the cold wind outside the wall like a meat scraper: "The emperor's ascension to the throne is a major event. If you don't go back, you will die sooner."

Gu Xiao was extremely annoyed. He was about to say something, and the soldiers under him shouted outside: "General, the messenger said that he still has something to give you alone."

In addition to the official edict, the messenger also carried the emperor's secret order.

It's just that he was running silly along the way. Just after he was called up, he was fooled by the small soldiers arranged by Wei Han, and he was dizzy. Only now did he think of this big event.

Gu Xiao put on heavy armor, a helmet, and a saber.

Seeing him like this, Wei Han couldn't help asking, "What are you doing so solemnly?" He didn't dress like he was going to meet guests, but rather like he was going to fight on the battlefield right away.

Gu Xiao Zhenzheng said: "This is not to give me something alone, I am afraid he is an assassin sent by Qiao Qing."

The messenger was innocent, and there was someone escorting him secretly, and he was indeed not an assassin.

He took out the secret letter, delivered it with both hands, and handed it to Gu Xiao, who was standing there with a solemn expression.

Although Gu Xiao is a military commander and has no ability to recite poems, he is also familiar with military books and knows how to literate and hyphenate.

He opened the secret letter, and Qiao Qing's words were flying and phoenix dancing, very wanton.

At the beginning of the letter, he scolded Gu Xiao sarcastically. It was nothing more than saying that he had no brains, made mistakes in the past, didn't know that he had confessed, and ran away like a turtle with his head shrunk.

The words were awkward, and Gu Xiao's eyes flushed with anger, but Qiao Qing's conversation turned around halfway through.

I know that the frontier soldiers have a hard time, but the soldiers are not all in charge of how much money they can put out and how much money they can put out in the hands of the frontier soldiers.

If you want money and let the frontier soldiers eat and wear warmth, you can bring your guards and come to the capital to apologize and apologize to me for our strength. If Gu Aiqing behaves well, I will leave it alone, and money is not a big deal...

After Gu Xiao finished reading it, he put the paper away, turned his head and went to find his friend.

"I will pack my letters and bags today, and we will be on the road overnight."

Wei Han was shocked: "What excites you again?!"

Gu Xiao hummed twice: "Naturally, I am going back to Beijing and begging for money from the emperor."

If he lied to him, he would never believe this little white-faced prince in the future.
