Minglan is reborn, this time with no regrets!

The next day, the court held a meeting.

Wang Shiping: "Your Majesty, there are not enough generals in the court who can win battles. Although Gu and Shen are extremely evil, the state is the most important thing. For the sake of peace on the border, I would like to recommend them to lead the troops to fight the enemy."

Emperor: "Wang Qingjia, that day you cried bitterly for your mother in front of the court, wishing you could eat Gu Tingye alive. How come you are willing to speak for him today?"

Wang Shiping: "I am not speaking for him. I am speaking for your Majesty's country. Only when the country is stable can the people live in peace. For the sake of your Majesty's country, what if I put aside my personal grudges?"

The emperor looked at him in silence.

At this time, King Huan stood up again and said, "Your Excellency is right. We can send these two to the army as vanguards, and when the border situation is stable, we can escort them back to prison and exile them."

The emperor's cold gaze shifted from Wang Shiping to Prince Huan's face: "Apart from these two, is there no other general I can use?"

King Huan only stared at the tablet in front of him and said in a sonorous and powerful voice: "Although the two of them are domineering and arrogant, one is both civil and military, and has many wise strategies; the other is brave and good at fighting, and is decisive and knows the border terrain very well..."

"Shut up!" The emperor finally couldn't suppress his anger. "They are guilty of all kinds of crimes. I have already shown great leniency by not sentencing them to immediate execution. You are actually willing to disregard the law for your personal feelings. Are you worthy of your current status?"

King Huan argued hastily: "I am not doing this for personal reasons! Lord Wang just said that he can temporarily not pursue Gu Fan's fault. Your Majesty, the military situation at the border is of great importance, and any personal feelings and old grudges should be put aside for the time being!"

To those who were not paying attention, his words sounded like ordinary advice, but to those who were paying attention, they were criticizing the emperor for putting his personal grudges above the safety of the country.

The emperor immediately shouted, "Do you really think that I have no one around me and can let these two do whatever they want?!"

As soon as these words were spoken, those who had not thought about it in this regard also had this idea, and in the ranks of court officials, all kinds of looks were exchanged frantically.

Han Qi was about to speak up to persuade the emperor to control his temper, but before he could take a step, several people behind him stepped out and shouted:

"I am willing to guarantee it with my official position!"

"I am willing to guarantee it with my official position!"

"I am willing to guarantee it with my official position!"

"I am willing to guarantee it with my official position!"

They are all former retainers of the palace.

In the eyes of the old ministers in Bian Jing, this scene showed that there was a split among the emperor's own confidants, and they all stood on the side of the prince.

The emperor stared at the row of old officials from Yuzhou kneeling behind him and breathing heavily, and he couldn't utter a word.

King Huan continued, "These two have committed extremely serious crimes. Although they must be enlisted in the army, it is not for the purpose of letting them live freely. I think we can demote them to commoners and enlist them as soldiers to pardon their crimes."

A man kneeling behind said, "Your Majesty, the battlefield is dangerous. One more helper means one more hope. In the end, many fewer soldiers will die!"

The emperor sneered: "Haha, okay, okay..."

The officials kneeling on the ground kowtowed directly:

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

King Huan also kowtowed to express his gratitude.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that the emperor was about to say something sarcastic, but was interrupted by these old foxes and twisted into nodding his head in agreement.

Those sitting on the dragon throne were stunned, while those kneeling on the ground were desperately expressing their gratitude. The scene was funny and absurd, but no one stood up to set things right.

The destinations of Gu Tingye and Shen Congxing were thus decided.

Seven days later, Duke Ying led the advance troops to set off; three days later, the elite imperial guards came out in full force, including all the generals of Yuzhou, including Shen and Gu.

Because Minglan was angry with Gu Tingye, she did not go to see him off.

Changbai was put in solitary confinement and had no idea what was going on.

No one from the Sheng family came to see them off, but the third lady of the Shen family and two maids stood on the top of the hill and cried loudly.

Shen Congxing turned around and waved, signaling her to leave quickly.

Gu Tingye sighed and patted Shen Congxing's shoulder: "You love this third sister for a good reason!"

Shen Congxing glanced at him and said, "She called you too, didn't you hear her?"

Gu Tingye: "Alas, there was someone else I wanted to listen to. Unfortunately, she didn't come."

Suddenly, a duck voice came from behind: "My sister didn't come, so I came for her."

Gu Tingye turned his head suddenly, staring at the pair of black and white eyes, and called out after a while: "Changdong?"

This guy is now taller than Gu Tingye, his skin is tanned, his voice has become hoarse and rough, and wearing a soldier's armor, he looks like a soldier who has been in the army for a long time. How can he be seen as a pampered baron?

He showed his snow-white teeth and said cunningly: "My name is Wei Qi, brother, please don't call me the wrong person."

Gu Tingye hit his head: "What brother? What brother? Who are you calling brother?" The iron helmet was hit with a clanging sound.

"I'm wrong, I'm wrong, I'm wrong, brother-in-law, oh no! Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, brother-in-law!"

"Who asked you to come?"

"I came here on my own..."

"Do you know that we are going to a war? Do you know how dangerous it is? If something happens, how am I going to explain to your sister? How am I going to explain to your brother? Get back right now!" Gu Tingye's teeth were almost broken.

Chang Dong looked helpless: "It's too late, brother-in-law! I have already submitted my name card and joined the army. If I run away during the battle, I will be a deserter and my whole family will be punished."

Gu Tingye was in great pain: "You bastard, go home and your second brother will nag me to death! What a sin I have committed, I should not have taught you martial arts! What a sin, I really have committed!!!" He remembered that Changdong had told him several times that he wanted to join the army, but he always thought it was just a matter of youthful loyalty and never took it seriously. He didn't expect that this guy would actually join the army without telling his family! Amitabha, how will he face Minglan and Changbai, how will he face his grandmother and mother-in-law in the future!

Chang Dong didn't care at all how big a hole he had dug for his brother-in-law, and said cheerfully: "No, no, brother-in-law, you are doing good deeds! When we have made military achievements together, I can legitimately stop studying in the future. Brother-in-law has not only done good deeds, but also done immeasurable merits, hahaha!"

Shen Congxing knew something about the Sheng family. Hearing this, he laughed and patted Changdong's chest, wanting to see how his muscles were. It turned out that he felt very hard, and the man didn't move at all. He was surprised and said, "Your brother-in-law is pretty good! He must have practiced a lot every day, right?"

Gu Tingye blew through his nose, "He has loved martial arts since he was young. Others would shake their heads while reciting, but he would squat while reciting. Others would stand or sit while practicing calligraphy, but he would squat while practicing calligraphy. Others would sit on chairs while eating, but he would squat while eating. Fortunately, Changbai didn't restrict him in these matters. He was forced to practice for so many years."

Chang Dong: "Because my second brother also thinks that Sixth Brother-in-law is awesome!"

Shen Congxing teased: "Your sixth sister doesn't want your sixth brother-in-law anymore, but you are the only one who is eager to recognize him as your relative."

Chang Dong finally stopped smiling and said to Gu Tingye seriously, "I just heard that my sister wanted to divorce you before I left home... I... I don't know what's wrong with my sister. She was not like this before... Maybe she is really afraid that her nephew will be looked down upon in the future, so she is desperate to seek medical help. It is said that women will become stupid when they are pregnant. Brother-in-law, please don't bother with her because she is pregnant. As long as we make great contributions this time, you will definitely be able to reduce your sentence. Then I will give you my credit as well. In this way, you will definitely be pardoned, and your nephew will no longer be the descendant of a criminal."

Shen Congxing: "You're giving all the credit to him? What do you want?"

Chang Dong: "To get my brother-in-law pardoned! I've checked. As long as the number of heads captured is sufficient, the military merit will surely be able to move up the ranks. If we can capture the heads of enemy generals, we can even defeat ten or a hundred with one. After all, two people together are faster than one. As long as my brother-in-law is pardoned as soon as possible, my nephew will have nothing to worry about, and my sister won't have to be separated from him!"

He didn't know that all this was actually discussed in advance by Gu Tingye and Minglan, and everything they said and did came from the heart.

Gu Tingye couldn't help but tears up his eyes.
