After learning about the relationship between Gu Junci and Xiao Yuan, Yan Huai and the others did not show any difference from before, which made Gu Junci very useful.

Only Yu Shiyao was always frowning, especially after seeing Gu Jun's resignation, his brows were furrowed even more.

It's just that Xiao Yuan said that he would not be sick these two days, and he would not lead troops to the front line. Xiao Boxu's imperial decree came down to Gu Junci. Difficult, naturally also want to go to the rescue.

After receiving the imperial decree, Gu Junci was full of sadness. According to the truth, the emperor's order cannot be violated.

But if he took this group of brothers out to fight, it would be Xiao Yuan's injustice. In the future, it is uncertain how people from the prince's line will run against Xiao Yuan.

Gu Junci would definitely not do such a thing, so after receiving the imperial edict, Gu Junci only said that he would enter the palace to face the saint later, and would personally explain to His Majesty that the official delivering the edict saw Gu Junci Junci had a tough attitude, so he couldn't refuse, so he turned around and left.

Yu Shiyao frowned, walked out from the back hall and said, "Brother Gu, we can't do this."

Yan Huai and the others who came out immediately came over and said, "If we go to Wulao Pass, the Second Highness will be alone and helpless."

Xu Yanqing: "Your Majesty does not intend to end up with the previous wrong decision. In this way, the Second Highness will definitely struggle in the future."

Wu Yaoqin abducted Chang Shan and said: "You old man with the nose has the most tricks, so hurry up and make two moves to let the Second Highness get through this crisis."

The Daoist lightly stroked his beard, and said solemnly: "The poor Taoist has told His Highness the Second Highness that he must be put to death and reborn. General Gu, if you are willing to spend your whole life in glory and wealth, I'm afraid you will have to open this head."

Gu Junci was stunned: "Me? Naturally, I'm willing to let go for A Yuan, but how can I let go?"

The Taoist priest raised his lips and smiled, then asked them to come closer and told them what to do next.

Not long after noon, several generals who put on military uniforms went down to the palace led by Gu Junci to meet Xiao Boxu.Knowing that they came to explain that they would take orders to go to Wulao Pass, Xiao Boxu specially announced them to enter the palace, and even made people hold a banquet in Zichen Palace to practice for them.

Just a few people stopped at the Wende Hall, and when facing Xiao Boxu's request, Gu Junci bowed to Xiao Boxu with a serious expression:

"Your Majesty, His Majesty's imperial decree says that I will temporarily act as the Marshal of the World's Army and Horses and go to Wulaoguan to meet His Royal Highness. I should have taken orders to go there, but there is one thing that is unknown, so I brought a few generals forward Come to ask His Majesty for an order."

Xiao Boxu was puzzled: "What decree does General Gu want?"

Gu Junci looked up at Xiao Boxu and said, "I am acting temporarily as the Grand Marshal of the world's soldiers and horses. Will it be returned to someone else in the future? Is the person who will return it the crown prince or His Royal Highness King Qing?"

Xiao Boxu smiled kindly: "Right now King Qing is not recovering, so I asked General Gu to take his place temporarily. When King Qing recovers in the future, it will naturally be returned to King Qing. Don't worry, Gu Qing, you are rewarded by my decree. People, King Qing will not have any complaints."

Gu Junci looked serious, and continued: "Your Majesty, does the minister think that during this period of time, all matters in the army are decided by the minister and not controlled by others."

Xiao Boxu couldn't help laughing and said, "It's only natural."

Gu Junci bowed deeply to him, with a solemn expression: "Your Majesty, His Highness the Crown Prince retreated repeatedly, so that in the end he could only retreat to Wulao Pass, and his morale plummeted. We must first adjust morale when we go to the front line. This Crown Prince How should His Highness be punished?"

"What?" Xiao Boxu couldn't believe it.

Gu Junci raised his head and looked at Xiao Boxu, and said word by word: "The frontline has been defeated one after another, and the generals leading the troops will naturally be punished, and the marshal who commanded them to fight should also be punished. This is the military rule! Your Majesty, the frontline battles were originally smooth sailing. However, after the crown prince went down, he was defeated again and again, and lost all the land that already belonged to me to others, resulting in low morale on the front line. If you take over such an army, the first thing you need to do is to encourage Morale, to boost morale must be to punish those who led the army wrongly, so that people can be inspired, and please make a decree, how to punish His Highness the Crown Prince!"

As soon as this remark came out, the entire Wende Hall was so quiet that even a needle could be heard falling on the ground. Xiao Boxu looked at Gu Junci in astonishment, pointed at him for a while, and then said:

"You, are you asking me to punish the prince to boost morale, or for Xiao Yuan!"

Gu Junci stood up straight: "In order to boost morale, after all, His Majesty has issued an order, and the minister is the commander-in-chief of the army, so the first thing I think of is to boost morale and punish the incompetent people who lost our Daliang territory. "

"Gu Junci! I already know that you and Xiao Yuan are of the same breed. Xiao Yuan wants to see my jokes, but if you don't support me, you also want to take this opportunity to add insult to injury and frame me!"

Sudden.

Xiao Yan's frantic figure came out from the curtain behind Xiao Boxu's writing case, he pointed at Gu Junci, his eyes were full of anger, he strode up to Gu Junci, his fingertips were only a finger away from the center of his eyebrows distance.

Xiao Yan was full of anger, looked straight at Gu Junci and said: "I am the crown prince, you are just a courtier, you dare to provoke me, and let my father punish me, don't think that I have nothing but you and Xiao Yuan. People will fight!"

Xiao Boxu originally wanted to stop Xiao Yan, but when he came out, he knew it was too late, and his expression was already very ugly.

Gu Junci patted Xiao Yan's hand away, and anger gradually appeared in his eyes. After raising his hand, a loud slap sounded in the Wende Palace. Xiao Yan was still in astonishment, so Gu Junci waved his hand again, and another slap came. It landed firmly on Xiao Yan's face.

Not to mention Xiao Boxu, even the generals behind him were dumbfounded.

"Gu Jun quit you crazy! Do you know who you hit!" Xiao Yan roared.

Gu Junci pressed on step by step, and sternly said: "I'm hitting you. I have no righteousness in my heart. I only have selfish desires in my heart. Changing commanders before the battle leads to a loss of morale in the army. I don't want to rectify the army. I am eager to attack and cause the loss of our country. Who are you? Prince Chu! What kind of prince!"

Just as Xiao Yan was about to refute, he saw Gu Junci turning his head again. He instinctively tried to stop him, but Gu Junci slapped his arm away, and slapped him on the face again with his backhand, and immediately Xiao Yan's face became red and swollen.

Gu Junci was even more furious, forcing Xiao Yan to the wall, the anger in his eyes seemed to burn Xiao Yan to ashes: "Disturbing the morale of the army, fleeing before the battle, but the soldiers live and die, regardless of the safety of the soldiers in the prison, you Xiao Yan, damn it! "

For the last two words, Gu Junci instinctively roared out, his anger made his face and neck turn crimson, and his veins burst out.

Yan Huai hurriedly called out to stop him, and the others rushed up in a hurry, hugging Gu Junci who was about to swing out with clenched fists.

"Father, Father, Gu Junci, you want to kill me, Father, you saw it too, he wants to kill me." Seeing that Gu Junci was restrained, Xiao Yan quickly got out and knelt in the hall, facing Xiao Boxu Begging for mercy.

Gu Junci struggled and said: "You are not worthy to be the crown prince of a country. You don't care about the life and death of soldiers and run away. If Wang Jianzhang and Yuan Rende join hands, I am afraid that the military prison will be broken right now, and my country will be eaten away by them. What are you thinking about now? Unification, peace in the world!"

Xiao Yan hurriedly said: "Father, Father, we don't necessarily have to unify the country, it's because Gu Junci and Xiao Yuan wanted to control the soldiers and horses in their own hands. Father, Father, we and Yuan Rende signed an agreement with Wang Jianzhang, isn't it good that our three countries don't interfere with each other's state affairs, father."

"Enough!" Xiao Boxu also roared angrily, frightening Xiao Yan to stay on the spot, his eyes were slightly red, and tears of fright rolled down his eyes.

"Your Majesty, His Highness Prince Qing is asking to see you."

In the silent Hall of Wende, the voice of the messenger servant was particularly harsh.

"Xuan." Xiao Boxu said.

After a while, Xiao Yuan, who was dressed in plain clothes, walked slowly into the hall. He glanced coldly at the other soldiers in the hall, and then saluted Xiao Boxu.

Seeing Xiao Yuan's appearance, Xiao Boxu's face softened a lot: "Ah Yuan's health is getting better?"

Xiao Yuan said: "Okay, it's all over now, now I'm here to plead guilty to my father."

Xiao Boxu pretended to be surprised: "What's the crime, what's wrong with Ah Yuan?"

Xiao Yuan put on his clothes and knelt beside Xiao Yan. He had a straight posture, bowed his head to Xiao Boxu before saying:

"Father, most of the ministers in the DPRK are aware of what the ministers have said and played recently. As ministers, the ministers fulfill their duties and duties, but they are said to be self-defeating. The ministers hold the military power, but they cause the land to be lost. , The morale of the army is slackened, and the minister is not worthy of being a minister, let alone holding military power. I also ask the father to issue an order to remove the title and power of the son and let the son rest at home for the rest of his life. No matter whether they sign a peace agreement or not communicate with each other, my ministers will not interfere, and I also ask my father to issue an order to allow my ministers to resign."

"Ah Yuan." Xiao Boxu hurriedly asked to stay.

Xiao Yan laughed mockingly: "Xiao Yuan, don't pretend to resign here. In fact, you want to hold military power more than anyone else! Don't be too conceited, we know how to fight more than you in the court!"

Xiao Yuan just stared at him from the side, and said in an extremely serious and low voice: "Then like you, did you run away? Last time, Shunhua used her life to block Luoyang soldiers and horses for you, and this time you fled back to Chang'an , who is standing up for you!"

When Shunhua was mentioned, Xiao Yan's complexion immediately turned pale, and even Xiao Boxu's complexion also changed. Remorse and pity were intertwined in his eyes, which forced him to clenched his fists.

"As a prince, Xiao Yan is incompetent and inactive. Now he abandons the city and runs away before the battle. He will be fined a hundred sticks and three years' salary. The Prince's Mansion in the East Palace will meditate on his past, and he will not be allowed to go out for one year."

"Father, father..." Xiao Yan hurriedly kowtowed to plead for mercy, but the forbidden army summoned by Xiao Boxu led them out of Wende Hall.

At this moment, Xiao Yuan in the palace looked as usual, it seemed that except for a few people newly recruited into his command, the others were not too surprised by Xiao Boxu's partiality.

Xiao Boxu looked at Xiao Yuan who was kneeling in the hall, quickly got up and walked in front of him, stretched out his hand to help him up, and comforted him with a smile:

"It was really my fault that I didn't think carefully about changing the commander-in-chief at the beginning of the battle. I believed that the crown prince could fight that battle well. Now he has punished him as well. Don't be angry. I made a mistake for my father. I shouldn't believe you. You should. Let you lead the army at the front line all the time, and now what you say about resigning from office and idle work, things on the front line, and the unification of the country, I still count on you."

Xiao Yuan took a step back and saluted, "Thank you, Father, for your trust."

Xiao Boxu nodded again and again: "Well, since your body has recovered, I don't know when you will be able to lead the army. There should be no delay in this front line."

Xiao Yuan looked back at the generals behind him, and hurriedly said: "I will be able to set off for the front line soon, please rest assured, my sons and ministers will definitely unify the world, so that my father can sit in Chang'an and rule the world with peace of mind."

"Okay, okay, A Yuan, my father will practice it for you today, and you will take them to the front line tomorrow morning. I wish you an early victory and triumph."

Xiao Boxu smiled very happily, but there was a gap between the father and son, and the gap was getting deeper and deeper.

In late May of the third year of Yuanshuo, Xiao Boxu issued an order to return to Xiao Yuan and his generals, and once again dispatched troops to the front for reinforcements.

At the beginning of June in the third year of Yuanshuo, when the army arrived at Wulao Pass, they met the generals of the Yuan family of Chen Jun who came to call for battle. There was no one in the pass to lead the troops, and the morale was low.

Until Xiao Yuan's commander-in-chief flag was hung on the top of the city, and the gate of the Wulao was opened, Gu Junci and Yan Huai led the troops to rush out, beheading the enemy's generals, the morale that had been sluggish for a long time finally recovered at that moment, and raised their arms high. Huh, Qi Qi rushed to the past with Gu Junci and Yan Huai, the soldiers and horses of the Yuan family who were killed were caught off guard and in chaos, and finally returned with a big victory.
