After binding the loving mother system, I was so bad

Chapter 471: Using the heart of a villain to judge the heart of a gentleman

The young emperor reflexively tried to stand up, but fell weakly onto the Yellow Dragon Chair.

His mind buzzed and everything went blank.

Rebellion? General Gu Nanxi is going to rebel?

How could she rebel?! Aren’t the Gu family the most loyal to the Great Zhou for generations?

Hasn’t Gu Nanxi always held high the banner of serving the country and the people?

How could she resist?!

How could she be worthy of the ancestors of the Gu family? How could she be worthy of the people of the world? How could she be worthy of herself? !

Although the young emperor tried hard to control himself and act as natural as possible, his uneasy fingers and trembling lips betrayed him.

But the officials in the court were not in the mood to watch the joke. At this moment, their mood was the same as the emperor's!

How could Gu Nanxi rebel? !

After Gu Nanxi rebelled, what should the Great Zhou do? !

"Your Majesty! Call the servant in so we can ask about the details of the situation!" In the end, it was Lord Li who stepped forward and took charge of the situation.

The young emperor gritted his teeth, his hands on the dragon throne trembling a little: "Pass it on!"

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Something terrible has happened, Your Majesty!" The servant finally had the chance to enter the hall. His head was buzzing and he had no idea what to say.

The young emperor's eyes went dark, and things seemed to be developing in the direction he least wanted to see!

"Why are you panicking?! If you have something to say, just tell me slowly!" Lord Li shouted angrily. He was obviously talking to the servant, but his eyes were fixed on the young emperor.

Awakened by this violent roar, the young emperor calmed himself down and asked in a hoarse voice, "What happened?"

The young emperor didn't want to ask that guess, but he couldn't help but feel fearful: "But General Gu Nanxi rebelled?"

"Huh?!" The boy raised his head and said in confusion, "No!"

These three words immediately gave everyone in the audience a reassurance.

One official was so angry that he raised his foot and kicked the eunuch who was still kneeling on the ground, saying, "How can you be so bad as to pass on the message?"

The eunuch was prostrating himself on the ground, trembling all over.

The official kicked him several more times, finally relieving himself. He patted his chest and returned to the civil service team, cursing: "You scared me to death! I almost lost my soul!"

It’s OK as long as Gu Nanxi didn’t rebel. Compared to this, everything else is trivial and not worth mentioning!

The young emperor's tense body relaxed instantly. At this moment, he felt a thin layer of cold sweat on his back. The dragon robe stuck to his back, making him very uncomfortable.

"What's the matter? Tell me quickly!" The young emperor had a stern face and his words were full of impatience.

The servant did not dare to disobey His Majesty's words, so he could only say briefly: "General Gu Nanxi has pushed the boundary marker northward by 1,020 miles, and has also placed the boundary marker under the city wall of Fuming Town. Lord Wang, please ask Your Majesty what to do next!"

This passage confused all the important officials in the court.

Li Gelao covered his mouth with a handkerchief, coughed a few times, and then said: "Explain the matter clearly. Don't push it to the north one moment and then push it under the city wall the next. Where is the boundary marker?"

The servant thought for a long time before saying, "General Gu Nanxi prepared two sets of boundary markers. One set was inscribed with "Established by Gu Nanxi" and the other was inscribed with "Established by Emperor Xuan of Zhou". The set of boundary markers owned by Gu Nanxi was moved more than a thousand miles to the north, while the set of boundary markers owned by Emperor Xuan of Zhou was erected at the foot of the city wall!"

Bang!

The young emperor understood what he heard and his face darkened. His eyes were grim and his clear voice was filled with suppressed anger. "Two sets of boundary markers?"

"That's right! General Gu Nanxi said that since the kingdom she conquered is not recognized by the officials in the court, then the retreat of 500 miles must naturally start from the original boundary!"

The servant was cautious enough not to bring the emperor into the matter.

After hearing this, the court was in an uproar.

"How ridiculous! Is Gu Nanxi trying to rule separately from the imperial court?!"

"How arrogant! Does Gu Nanxi really think she's such a big shot? We told her to retreat 501 miles, but she pushed 1,002 miles north. Who is she trying to slap in the face of?!"

"Without the support of our Great Zhou Dynasty, she, Gu Nanxi, is nothing!"

"Isn't this rubbing the face of our court and the emperor into the ground? Why? Our court's boundary marker can only be erected at the foot of the city wall, but Gu Nanxi's can be erected on the grassland?"

"How can such a disloyal and unrighteous person be worthy of the responsibility of the governor of Yunzhou? In my opinion, it is because the emperor was too lenient to her in the past that she became arrogant because of his favor!"

"I beg Your Majesty to investigate Gu Nanxi for disobeying your order and serve as a warning to others!"

Many officials felt that they had been slapped in the face by Gu Nanxi and knelt down one after another.

"No! In my opinion, the emperor should greatly reward General Gu Nanxi!" Amid the voices of accountability, Censor Jiang's words were so unique!

"Imperial Censor Jiang, even if your son recognizes Gu Nanxi as his godmother, you can't confuse right and wrong! Are you worthy of being an Imperial Censor?!"

Censor Jiang ignored the contempt and scolding of his colleagues, but walked straight to the servant and asked in a gentle voice: "General Gu Nanxi moved the boundary marker northward for more than a thousand miles, so where did she set it up?"

"Ah?" The servant replied in a low voice.

Others didn't hear it clearly, but Censor Jiang, who was closest to the servant, heard it clearly.

The corners of Jiang Yushi's mouth curled up slightly, and his eyes sparkled: "Speak louder. The officials in the court are old and deaf and blind. They may not be able to hear clearly."

The servant swallowed his saliva, closed his eyes and shouted: "Under Wuzhou City! General Gu Nanxi has erected the boundary marker ten miles outside Wuzhou City!"

This sentence was like a powerful electric current that hit everyone in the court!

Time seemed to stand still for a few seconds. Master Tong seemed to reach out to take the handkerchief from his pocket, but his hands were shaking and he couldn't take it out after trying several times.

Lord Li, who was sitting opposite the Grand Tutor, forgot to cough for a moment. His lips moved but no sound came out. His eyes gradually became moist and crystal tears flowed from the corners of his eyes.

The emperor sitting on the dragon throne opened his mouth and eyes in surprise, totally unable to believe what he had just heard.

Censor Jiang stood in the center of the court, looking directly at the young emperor with a moving light in his eyes. He spoke each word with a sonorous and powerful voice that struck everyone's heart.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty! General Gu Nanxi has placed boundary markers outside Wuzhou City and occupied a large area of ​​grassland south of the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun. This achievement is enough for General Gu Nanxi to be included in the Yingwu Temple! He deserves a reward!"

Lord Chen and Lord Li, who were dazzled by the huge surprise, also reacted and stepped out.

"The great general has made contributions to the present and will benefit future generations. He deserves a reward!"

"I second the motion! General Gu Nanxi is the backbone of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the pillar of the country! Your Majesty, you must not let the general down!"
