The first male queen [crossing]

The emperor died, and Xie Zichong conspired to seize the throne.

This is an excellent excuse for those who want to rebel but have lingering fears. Including the Xiao family of Lanling, all of a sudden, wars are raging all over the country, and all of them set up troops under the banner of avenging the emperor and eradicating treacherous men.

The country is in turmoil, and there is great chaos and great order.

After receiving Xiao Boxu's order, Xiao Yuan and Gu Junci recruited troops around Lanling, and even worked out a route for the army together with Xiao Boxu.

Xiao Yuan suggested that the troops should be divided into two groups, first take down Luoyang City, wait for the old power in Luoyang to be stabilized, and then raise troops to go straight to Chang'an.

Chang'an was originally the old capital of the previous dynasty, but the emperor moved the capital to Luoyang for the prosperity of Luoyang's peony scenery. It won't take long for the war on the earth to be quelled.

Originally Xiao Boxu planned to let Xiao Yuan lead the troops there, but Xiao Yan said that he was the eldest son of the Xiao family, and Xiao Yuan led the soldiers every time. He felt that Xiao Boxu had underestimated his ability, and he was even more afraid that after a long time, people in this world would I only know Xiao Yuan, but I don't know that there is Xiao Yan in Lanling, so I asked Ying to lead troops to Luoyang.

Xiao Boxu thought it was the same, Xiao Yan was the eldest son, it seemed that he had never given him any chance, so he agreed to Xiao Yan's invitation, and even allocated Huo Situ and Yang Junfang under Xiao Yuan's subordinates to him, and he was at his disposal.

However, after the [-]th day of June, news came from Luoyang that Xiao Yan had missed the opportunity. On the eve of Xiao Yan's dispatch of troops, Zheng Guogong immediately supported the emperor's young grandson who was only three years old in order to gain the old power of the previous dynasty in a legitimate way. He became emperor, and Zheng Guogong himself proclaimed himself the regent, in charge of government affairs.

A torrential rain broke many lotus leaves in the pond, and the delicate flowers swayed in the wind.

On Tingfeng Xiaozhu, Xiao Yuan's complexion was extremely bad, even Gu Junci, who was sitting in front of him, could feel the sluggish momentum, and Xiao Yu on the other side naturally just lowered his head and ate his snacks, let alone dared to speak .

Gu Junci watched the water in the pot boil, and hurriedly poured water into the teapot, pouring tea for him:

"Don't be too anxious, isn't there still an old minister guarding Chang'an now?"

"Now we have lost the opportunity. Without Luoyang's backing, I'm afraid there will be many twists and turns in unifying the Central Plains in the future." Xiao Yuan looked solemn, "This Xiao Yan is too useless."

Gu Junci looked around, fortunately there were only a few of them here, so naturally he would not be afraid that such words would spread, so he quickly comforted him: "Don't say that, he is indeed not as good as you in terms of using troops."

"Before sending troops to Luoyang, I have already instructed him. This is the first time our Lanling Xiao Clan sent troops. We can only win a big victory, but we cannot lose. He is the eldest son, and he volunteered on his own initiative, and his father is facing him. Naturally, I can't say much. What, but look at him..."

Xiao Yuan couldn't hide his anger, Xiao Yu also hurriedly said:

"Brother has never had the chance to actually fight..."

Xiao Yuan snorted softly: "There are few chances, so he should listen to people's persuasion, I'm afraid he just wanted to gamble for a while, and thought that listening to my advice would take away his military merits, so he missed the military opportunity and lost Luoyang. "

Gu Junci listened to the sound of the wind and rain outside, and said with a soft smile: "Master Xiao will return to Lanling in the future, and the Lord will ask the reason clearly at that time."

Xiao Yuan thought about it, and felt that it was useless for him to be anxious about this matter, the most important thing was Xiao Boxu's intervention.

However, to Xiao Yuan's surprise, it was only after Xiao Yan returned to Lanling that he found out that Huo Situ and Yang Junfang assigned to him by Xiao Boxu were originally pioneers, but it turned out that they were Xiao Yuan's people and because they had suggested Xiao Yuan several times. Yan Chuan's troops annoyed him, and in a fit of rage, the young master demoted the two of them as pawns.

Not to mention being demoted, even after Xiao Yan came back, he pushed all the responsibility for the delay of the military plane to Huo Yang, saying that they refused to obey the discipline and command, which led to the loss of the military plane and Luoyang.

If Xiao Yuan hadn't pleaded for mercy, Xiao Boxu might have taken Huo Yang's life in a fit of anger.

In Gu Junci's small courtyard, Huo Situ and Yang Junfang looked unhappy, with anger in their eyes, very dissatisfied:

"I can be considered to have seen what turned black and white!"

Yang Junfang also said: "Brother Gu, you don't know how bossy this Young Master Xiao is in the barracks. He has to take a rest every day when he marches for only ten miles. It's hot summer, and such a hasty march will cause heatstroke to the soldiers."

"That's all. Anyway, he is sympathetic to the soldiers, but that Mr. Xiao is so good. When the soldiers surrounded Luoyang, he didn't send troops. He just wrote a letter to ask the people in Luoyang to open the city and surrender." Huo Situ couldn't bear it either. Stopped, "Is this Luoyang Wang's stupid? He surrenders as soon as he asks people to surrender. He looks greedy for life and afraid of death, which makes people angry when they see it."

Yang Junfang drank the wine, his cheeks were flushed, and he continued: "It's the first day, it's fine if you don't send troops. In the evening, Brother Huo and I will go to ask for orders to lead troops to attack Luoyang City at night. , Belittled us to be pawns, and even turned right and wrong in front of the Duke, I really saw it."

Gu Junci stretched out his hand to pour the wine for them, with a peaceful face: "Let's not talk about you, even the Second Young Master Xiao was furious when he learned that Luoyang was lost."

Huo Situ snorted coldly: "But what can we do, he is a dignified young master of the Xiao family, if something happens, we will naturally take care of it."

Gu Jun said: "Don't be angry, even though Luoyang is lost this time, it is not all bad anyway, as the saying goes, good luck and bad luck depend on each other."

Yang Junfang looked at him puzzled: "These two young masters have said that if you win Luoyang, then you can take Chang'an as a matter of course."

Gu Junci smiled: "Yes, it is true, but this Xiao Yan missed the opportunity, and he will no longer be able to intervene in the matter of leading the army in the future. As long as the military power is in the hands of the second son Xiao, this Luoyang will get it sooner or later." of."

Huo Situ and Yang Jun looked at each other, only felt that Gu Junci's words made some sense, but also felt that it was not worthwhile to lose the opportunity of Luoyang this time.

After drinking all the wine in his glass, Huo Situ came to his senses and said, "By the way, Brother Gu, tomorrow is your birthday and the day you reach the crown. You should have a good birthday and celebrate. How you want to live, brothers will satisfy you."

Holding the wine glass, Gu Junci's expression was slightly stern, and the image of King Linyang caring about him when he was in Jinling suddenly flashed in his mind.

Because it was his year to be crowned, the King of Linyang gave him a famous general weapon, and even gave him a name.

But now it's her birthday, but things are different.

Yang Junfang also asked: "Did you take the characters?"

Gu Junci nodded: "I took it, my adoptive father took it, Zhiyan."

Huo Situ muttered the word Zhiyan in his mouth, and then smiled embarrassedly: "I'm a big bastard, I just think this word sounds good, but I can't understand what it means."

Gu Junci drank the wine in the cup, and said slowly: "Yefu said that the meaning of Junci is the words of a gentleman, and a gentleman does not make false statements. If you know what to say, you are wise."

When it came to King Linyang, both Huo Yang and Huo Yang knew that they had hit Gu Junci's heartache, so they didn't mention it again, and then changed the subject to discuss what to do with Ji Guan's birthday banquet tomorrow, and even planned to pay for it Go to a restaurant and hold a table to celebrate.

That night, Gu Junci tossed and turned sleeplessly, listening to the sound of wind and rain outside, staring until dawn.

Looking at the whole world, Xiao Yuan is the only person he trusts the most among all the anti-kings and families, and only Xiao Yuan has the ability to help him complete his revenge plan.

Only when the power of the Xiao Clan in Lanling grows stronger, will he have the opportunity to lead his troops to Jinling, behead the chief culprit who framed King Linyang, and use it to pay homage to the heroic spirit of King Linyang.

At dawn the next morning, Gu Junci was still wearing his clothes when he heard Ah Chun, who was sweeping the yard, open the door. Hearing his exclamation, Gu Junci opened the window and looked into the yard.

He actually saw Xiao Yuan walking in with a brocade box in his hand. Just as he asked Ah Chun if Gu Junci got up, he saw Gu Junci standing in front of the window, and quickly raised his lips and smiled:

"get up?"

Gu Junci nodded and walked towards the door while putting on his clothes. Seeing Xiao Yuan push the door in, he asked:

"Why did you come so early? I suspect that you were waiting outside last night."

"Yeah." Xiao Yuan didn't refute, but just stared straight at Gu Junci, who had loose hair, with a gentle smile, "Today is a great gift for you and the crown, but it's just during the war, I'm afraid there's nothing I can do for you." The crowning ceremony is held."

Gu Junci smiled and said: "It's okay, I don't have any relatives by my side, so it doesn't matter if the crowning ceremony is not held. Brother Huo even invited me to the restaurant at noon, saying that he would celebrate my birthday."

"Did they drink at your place yesterday?" Xiao Yuan asked as he walked to the bronze mirror and put down the brocade box in his hand.

Gu Junci didn't hide it from him, and nodded in response: "I said a lot about your brother."

Xiao Yuan smiled, seeing Gu Junci put on his clothes, he waved to him: "If you don't mind, how about I comb your hair."

Gu Junci was a little puzzled.

Xiao Yuan said: "Who says you don't have relatives by your side, am I not your closest relative? If you say you don't have relatives, where will you leave me?"

Gu Junci nodded and smiled: "You still use my words to criticize me."

Xiao Yuan shrugged his shoulders: "Sit here, I'll tie your hair for you, it's a gift to celebrate your crowning."

Gu Junci was stunned for a moment, feeling that his heart was beating very hard, but he still smiled helplessly, sat in front of the bronze mirror, looked at Xiao Yuan behind him, and couldn't help but joked: "Since you have assumed this responsibility, you have to comb it carefully. "

Xiao Yuan nodded and smiled, and carefully combed Gu Junci's hair with the comb in his hand. The teeth of the comb passed through Gu Junci's soft and shiny black hair. Even Xiao Yuan seemed to cherish it very much, and he combed it very slowly.

Because it is a ceremony of coming of age, the hair can no longer be disheveled after adulthood, so it has to be tied into a bun and tied with a crown to fix the bun.

And the hair crown for this bundle of hair was also brought by Xiao Yuan, a silver hair crown, the hairpin is slightly shorter, but it can well fix the bun.

Xiao Yuan's hair-tying skills are very skilled, Gu Junci looked at Xiao Yuan's serious hair-tying from the mirror, and couldn't help joking:

"A Yuan, who did you learn this from? You must have practiced for a long time."

The movements of Xiao Yuan's hands paused slightly, and he didn't formally answer his words, only said after putting on the crown hairpin: "Stand up and have a look."

Gu Junci got up as he said, and after putting his hair up in a bun, he looked much more energetic. He used to be a young man in fresh clothes and angry horses when his hair was loose, but now he is very handsome with his hair tied up.

He bowed to Xiao Yuan and said: "Thank you brother Xiao for the congratulatory gift, I like it very much."

Xiao Yuan also said seriously: "I am very lucky to be able to tie your hair and spend your adult birthday with you."

Gu Junci looked at Xiao Yuan's gentle eyes like water, and he couldn't understand the emotion in his eyes, but he knew that his heart was moving at that moment.

The author has something to say: The most romantic thing is that he combs your hair on the day you get crowned, it is really unforgettable.
