The Rebirth of the Bamboo Horse Emperor

Zhaogan hall.

Emperor Hong'an sat on the dragon chair and listened to the performance by the ministers.

Shen Yan and Shen Bing stood alone. Although they hadn't slept all night, it was not a serious problem for martial arts practitioners, so they looked the same as usual.

"What's Zhu Aiqing's opinion on the banditry in Qingzhou?" Emperor Hong'an asked after the performance was over.

Everyone looked at each other, unable to tell why.

"Bai Aiqing, tell me."

Hearing this, Bai Muyang took a step forward, "Back to the emperor, I think there seems to be something strange about the gangsters this time. According to the prefect of Qingzhou, the government should be at a disadvantage. I think we should send someone to investigate this matter, otherwise Fear of other troubles."

Song Jiao stood behind him, and when he mentioned the prefect of Qingzhou, the expression on his face was obviously unnatural.

Shen Bing happened to see it.

Hearing what he said, the emperor seemed to be talking about what he was thinking, "I have the intention, but I don't know who to send. Presumably, Aiqing has already recommended someone."

"I thought I could send my third brother, Shao Ran." Bai Muyang said, "There has been no fighting at the border recently except for the Dongyi tribe, and General Zhenxi will return to Beijing soon. He is also a second-rank general, so he should be The emperor shares his worries."

The emperor felt that what he said was reasonable, so he said, "Shao Ran."

"Wei Chen is here."

"How do you feel?"

Bai Shaoran was the youngest of all the courtiers, not even an adult, and no prince over the age of 15 came to court, so the emperor was very kind to him.

Bai Shaoran thought to himself that it was a little strange, the eldest brother had never mentioned this matter to him, but the emperor obviously felt that he should go, and he could not refuse.

"The minister is willing to go."

"Okay." The emperor made a final decision, "Anlu, pass on my order and order Cao Li, the first lieutenant of the Jinling Army, to stand by. Three days later, the first subordinate army will set off for Qingzhou with Shao Ran!"

The Imperial Forest Army guards the palace and the capital, while the Jinling Army is an army dedicated to guarding the safety of the royal family when they travel or go out on expeditions.

Everyone is strong in martial arts, but the number is small, each genus has only ten people, a total of nine genus, under the direct jurisdiction of the emperor.

It was beyond everyone's expectation that the emperor directly sent him the Golden Bell Army to follow him, but it made sense after thinking about it.

This trip was supposed to be a spy, so naturally they couldn't bring troops there, and the Jinling Army were all elites, and there were few people, so it was the most suitable.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Bai Shaoran said with a bow, he was relieved to have the Jinling Army, after all he didn't know what his elder brother was up to.

"Let's retreat." Emperor Hong'an got up to leave, followed by Shen Yan and Shen Bing, and everyone knelt down to send them off respectfully.

In the side hall of Fengxi Palace, Jiang Mu was lying on the bed pretending to be sick and refusing to go to Yingzhuo Hall for morning class.

"Your Highness, what's wrong with you?" Gu Jue was very helpless, because once he left the bed, Jiang Mu would keep screaming.

Jiang Mu was finally willing to sit up, but there was still a heartbroken expression on his face, "General Gu has led his army to defeat the Dongyi army, and he will return to Beijing soon."

Gu Jue was very happy when he heard that his father was coming back soon!

Then after thinking about it, I became depressed again, because by then I would go back home with my father.

He was somewhat reluctant to part with the Third Highness.

Of course, there is such a good concubine Chen who is also reluctant.

Jiang Mu stared at his face seriously, and when he saw the obvious reluctance on his face, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.Then he continued, "Do you want to go back to the residence with General Gu, Huaixi?"

Gu Jue was no longer as cautious as when he first entered the palace, especially in front of Jiang Mu and Concubine Chen.

Listening to him asking this question at this moment, I finally understood why he made such unreasonable troubles, and felt even more sad.

"Father returns to Beijing, so I naturally want to go back together."

Jiang Mu lay back angrily, pulled the quilt over his head, and wrapped himself up.

Whether in the eyes of Jiang Mu, who is actually in his 20s, or Gu Jue, this behavior is extremely childish.

But Jiang Mu really didn't know how to keep people in the palace, and he was afraid that many accidents would happen when he left.Many things are different from the previous life, and I don't know when we will see each other again.

Gu Jue looked at Jiang Mu's childish behavior, amused and helpless.

He sat on the bed and wanted to peel him off, "It's going to be boring, Your Highness."

Jiang Mu's heart froze, and he shook off the quilt to drag him in.

The two little guys looked at each other in the dark under the quilt.

Jiang Mu hugged him suddenly, buried his head on his neck, and whispered, "I don't want you to leave, Huaixi, please don't leave, please stay in the palace."

Gu Jue couldn't see his expression, but could only hear his voice, which was somewhat nasal.

Of course, although the Third Highness was reluctant, but after all, he was in his 20s, so he wouldn't cry about it.

At this time, in order to make your loved one feel distressed, you have to subtly integrate your acting skills.

Sure enough, Gu Jue couldn't bear it anymore. Although he had seen all kinds of Jiang Mu, he always felt that there seemed to be a strong uneasiness hidden deep in Jiang Mu's heart.

Knowing that his strength is weak, he still couldn't help but want to protect him.

Perhaps it was because he had no mother since he was a child, and his father never understood his mood, so he only devoted himself to practicing martial arts and the art of war.

He thought he saw Jiang Mu's fragility that others couldn't see, so he wanted to make him feel less wronged.

Gu Jue stretched out his hand and hugged him awkwardly, "Father has already returned to Beijing, and I have no reason to stay in the palace anymore. If I insist on doing this, the emperor may think that I am on good terms with His Highness, and may suspect that His Highness is trying to win over the courtiers." .”

Jiang Mu listened to him quietly, a little surprised.

Unexpectedly, Huai Xi could think of so much for him.

Gu Jue continued, "If father comes to Beijing, I will try my best to go with him to visit His Highness."

Jiang Mu was silent, and finally lifted the quilt.

The bundled crown hair was covered in a mess, Jiang Mu looked up and saw that his eyes were a little red, and his heart ached.

But he still stuck his neck and said, "You can leave if you want, but you have to promise me one thing."

Gu Jue was at a loss, "What...what's the matter?"

"When I can't see you, you are not allowed to get married!" Jiang Mu said arrogantly.

Gu Jue didn't seem to understand the rudeness of his words, and asked along with him, "Then when His Highness sees it, will it be enough?"

"That's not allowed! Only if I think it's okay!"

Gu Jue thought for a while, and seemed to think there was no difficulty, so he said, "Okay, I promise Your Highness."

Jiang Mu reached out and hooked his fingers, "Don't play tricks."

Gu Jue nodded seriously, "Okay."

"Then, do you still want to go to morning class?"

Jiang Mu shook his head.

Your Highness is about to fall in lovesickness, why do you still let me go to class.

Three days later, the emperor led civil and military officials to welcome the returning army at the head of the city.

Gu Nanxing walked at the forefront of the army on horseback, wearing a silver-white armor with a long sword at his waist.With an incomparably handsome face, in his thirties, his brows and eyes look more and more heroic.

"See the emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live." Entering the city gate, Gu Nanxing saw the emperor knelt down and saluted, "My minister, Gu Nanxing, returned to Beijing with the army. The chaos in Dongyi has been put down."

Emperor Hong'an stepped forward to help him up, "It's been hard for Ai Qing to put down the chaos this time, please get up quickly."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Gu Nanxing stood up, with neither sadness nor joy on his face.

After returning to the palace, the emperor rewarded him with a thousand taels of gold and granted him the title of first-rank hussar general.

"Your Majesty, Gu Jue is young, please forgive me if I don't understand the rules." Gu Nanxing said, his face that hadn't changed for thousands of years finally showed a little change.

Emperor Hong'an laughed loudly, "You don't have to worry about that, Gu Jue not only obeyed the rules very well, he also made a great contribution to saving Mu'er's life, and I will reward him."

"Pass on Gu Jue!"

An Lu announced, and the little Gu Jue walked in from outside Qingxin Hall.

The father who hadn't seen him for three months stood in front of him safe and sound, and he was rewarded, so he finally let go of his worries.

"See Your Majesty."

"Get up." Emperor Hong'an said.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Emperor Hong'an turned around and said something to Shen Bing, Shen Bing took out a long sword out of nowhere and walked towards Gu Jue, His Majesty.

"Gu Jue has done a great job in saving you. I bestow the Dongxi Sword on you today. I hope that when you grow up, you can serve the imperial court like your father and protect my Da Yu's stability." Emperor Hong'an said.

Gu Jue didn't recognize the sword, but Gu Nanxing naturally did.

Just as Gu Jue was about to take the sword from Shen Bing, Gu Nanxing hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, this sword is of great importance, and I'm afraid the boy will fail the Emperor's expectations."

"Aiqing is young and promising, the so-called tiger father has no dogs, why not?" Emperor Hong'an said.

"Dongxi sword is the sword to protect the country, the youngest son is incompetent, please take it back!" Gu Nanxing said stubbornly.

Gu Jue listened to his father talking to the emperor, and heard that this sword was not just a sword, but he couldn't interrupt, so he could only look at Shen Bing suspiciously.

The emperor didn't accept Gu Nanxing's words, and seeing Gu Jue's doubts, he said, "Shen Bing, tell Gu Jue about the origin of this sword."

Shen Bing bowed to the emperor sitting on his seat, then turned to Gu Jue with a smile and said, "Young master Gu, this sword is one of the two swords ordered by craftsmen during the period of pacifying the Sifang. They regained the tribes and established the Great Yu Dynasty. It is said that this sword cuts iron like mud, and it can behead rebels at the top, and it can kill the faint officials at the bottom. But since the death of the king, no one has been able to pull out this sword."

"□□In the notes left to future generations, it is said that only those who can stabilize the world can endow Dongxi with the sword soul. The other sword, named Nishang, has been passed down in the hands of emperors of all generations. Dongxi and Nishang are Mingjun and A symbol of capable ministers."

When Gu Jue heard the resistance in his father's tone, he was a little hesitant, but when he heard Shen Bing talking about stabilizing the world, he suddenly wanted to give it a try.

His Highness said that he wanted to be the crown prince and conquer the world.

The emperor rewarded him with the Dongxi sword. Although he didn't know why, he wanted to be His Highness's helper.

If he could pull out the Dongxi sword, would he be highly appreciated by the emperor?

Thinking about it, Gu Jue suddenly walked up to Shen Bing and took the long sword.
