The first male queen [crossing]

The continuous drizzle only took a moment, and the clothes and hair of Xiao Yuan and Gu Junci were already wet.

After Lu's father and son and Meng Chengye were buried, Gu Junci sat down on the stone in front of the grave, looked at Qingxuan's name written by himself on the tombstone, his expression was dull, and he didn't even have a trace of sadness in his heart, he just watched quietly. With Lu Qingxuan's name.

Xiao Yuan stood behind him, with a bit of worry in his eyes, but he refused to take half a step forward, and called him to the Taoist temple to hide from the rain.

"I have never met a child like Qingxuan. He is born with a smile, treats people kindly, and treats everyone with a pure heart. He shouldn't end up like this."

I don't know if it was rain or tears, it gradually blurred Gu Junci's vision, he turned his head to look at Xiao Yuan, raised his lips and smiled: "Qingxuan doesn't want to see me cry, so I won't cry either, it's just... I just Reluctant to part, we used to part, always thinking that there would be a day to meet again, but now... there is no time to see each other again."

Xiao Yuan stepped closer, holding an umbrella to shield him from the drizzle: "I will find out who is behind this matter."

Gu Junci stared at Xiao Yuan for a long time, and said seriously: "A Yuan, I want to avenge Qingxuan and Ayu, but right now I can't do anything. Although it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge, I can't wait." ten years."

Xiao Yuan: "What do you want to do?"

"I want to end the unification of the world as soon as possible with you, and then seize the reserve position and sit in the world." Gu Junci said seriously, "In Xuanji Country, I can't protect my brothers, and here, I can't protect Qingxuan and Qingxuan." Ayu, I am not reconciled."

His eyes were as cold as frost, and his fierce and ruthless eyes were like sharp knives. Xiao Yuan stared blankly for a while, then nodded and said: "Okay."

It was only one word, but the firmness and clang in his tone could be heard.

After returning to Chang'an City, Xiao Boxu naturally wanted to call Gu Junci into the palace for questioning. Xiao Yuan originally wanted to follow, but Gu Junci refused and asked him to wait outside the palace gate, and then went into the palace alone.

In the Hall of Wende, Xiao Boxu stared at Gu Junci's appearance covered in rain, and hurriedly asked the servant to bring a dry handkerchief for him to wipe off the rain.

Xiao Boxu flipped through the memorial, pretending to be nonchalant and said: "This Lu Wenyuan betrayed Chang'an City, do you know?"

Gu Jun said: "I didn't know before, but now I know."

Xiao Boxu put down the memorial in his hand, and looked up at Gu Junci: "It's not that I can't believe you, because of your friendship with Erlang, I also believe you, but the crown prince said you appeared in Taoshan, so I called you in." Gong asked."

After Gu Junci returned the handkerchief to the servant, he bowed respectfully to the emperor and said: "Your Majesty, Lord Lu and my ministers have kindness, and I should repay you. Qingxuan and my ministers are just like Ayu and my ministers. They are like younger brothers, so I will chase them when I know they have betrayed Chang'an, thinking that I can persuade them if I can, and it is good to save their lives."

Xiao Boxu's expression was as usual, but he just nodded his head in agreement: "Well, I know this, you value love and righteousness, and there is nothing wrong with your speech."

Gu Junci said again: "Your Majesty, this wrong minister of Duke Lu doesn't want to argue, but I just want to say that the world is now divided and will be unified by Daliang in the future. This Duke Lu is just because he was the master of Fan Yang. Now being a minister in the court is ridiculed and ridiculed, if the world is unified in the future, will other talented people who come here also suffer this kind of ridicule?"

Xiao Boxu frowned, and looked up at him in surprise: "Is there such a thing?"

Gu Jun resigned and saluted: "Your Majesty has a lot of things to do every day, and Lu Gong will naturally not bother His Majesty with such trivial matters. It has only been a few months. He would rather betray Chang'an than live a stable life here. It is conceivable that I know how much criticism he has suffered. In the future, when the world is unified, please treat all courtiers equally, and don’t let them be close or close just because they have served others, and chill the hearts of those who surrender.”

Xiao Boxu's face was solemn, he took the hand of the memorial and paused for a moment, looking straight at him: "It's true that I missed it, and the gentleman's words reminded me right. But, listening to you, you seem to have some doubts about the unification of the world. suggestion?"

Gu Junci bowed respectfully and bowed deeply: "Your Majesty, the Second Highness is a military leader, but there are not many generals available under him now, and the few generals under Duke Lu don't know where they are now. Therefore, I feel that if His Majesty wants to unify the world, he can let His Highness lead the army, and I would like to join His Highness in conquering the world and unify the country."

A smile gradually appeared on Xiao Boxu's face, and then he stood up and said, "Okay, okay, I thought about Junci's unwillingness to be restricted by others, so I never mentioned it to you, now that you have mentioned it yourself , I agree, and Erlang will lead the army to go out in the future, and Junci can also go with him."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Gu Jun responded with a salute.

When we left the palace, the rain had stopped, and there was a hazy layer of mist on the house.

The horseshoe stepped on the rain-soaked road, and Gu Junci and Xiao Yuan headed towards the General's Mansion one after the other. When they came back, Han Yanling and Liu Shuxian were already waiting at the door.

After seeing the ceremony, several people entered the mansion together and walked towards the attic in the backyard.

The spring breeze blows over the railings and blows the bamboo curtains.

On the small table, Gu Junci added charcoal to the stove, and Xiao Yuan, who had changed his clothes, came from the stairs and sat beside Gu Junci.

"We've all heard about Mr. Lu." Han Yanling sighed with a serious look on his face.

Liu Shuxian snorted softly: "Grand Lu used to be the Lord of Fan Yang, but now he surrenders to Daliang. It is because there are many old ministers in this court that he is ridiculed and ridiculed."

Gu Junci watched the water boil in the stove, brought the water to wash the tea and brewed it very skillfully: "If the problems in the court are not resolved, there will be disasters in the future. Even if we conquer the country, they may not sit still. It's stable, but in the end, I'm afraid it will be a mess."

Han Yanling said: "We entered the official career through scientific examinations, and we also have a background in the court. Just because we have received the favor of the Second Highness, the prince's people often make things difficult for us."

"The situation in the court is still stable. After all, several important positions are held by His Highness the Second Highness." Liu Shuxian said.

"Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials, I am going to let Mr. Pei do it." Xiao Yuan who was at the side suddenly said.

Gu Junci looked at him sideways: "Pei Sheng, Mr. Pei?"

Xiao Yuan nodded: "He is the son of an aristocratic family. This official department is in charge of the appointment and removal of officials in the world, so this position is very important. You can't use old people. You have to be trustworthy and not afraid of the prince."

"In this way, Brother Pei is indeed a very suitable candidate." Gu Junci nodded in response.

Xiao Yuan responded, then raised his eyes to look at the two people in front of him, and said seriously: "In a short while, we will start conscription to prepare for the unification of the country, and we will continue to fight outside. Well arranged."

Han Yanling said: "Second Highness, don't worry, there are still many people in the court who are loyal to you, especially among the newly recruited scholars, most of them come from poor families."

Xiao Yuan: "In the court, I'm going to keep it secret for the time being, and you all do your part well, don't let people catch your mistakes."

Han Yanling and Liu Shuxian bowed to him, as a response to Xiao Yuan's words.

Because most of the important official positions in the court are in the hands of Xiao Yuan, and the emperor is suppressing them, the crown prince will not lay hands on the emperor.

Therefore, he only needs to stabilize his foundation in the court, and he still has a way to move back to the situation in the follow-up.

However, within three days, Xiao Boxu issued an order to conscript soldiers for the unification of the country. Unexpectedly, Xiao Jue tried to stop him in the court, using the excuse that Xiao Yuan had just returned from the expedition to Fufeng, and that he should take a break right now. As for the conscription, it was up to him naturally. to serve.

Even Xiao Yan agreed with him, Xiao Yuan didn't argue, and only let them be responsible for the conscription.

As a result, Xiao Yan's party members in the court began to come up with various ideas for Xiao Jue, how to recruit troops, how to purchase military supplies, and so on.

Waiting for Xiao Jue to decide where to recruit troops and how to recruit troops is arranged, it will be ten days later.

In the past ten days, Xiao Yuan has also started to arrange the big and small matters in the court, and even the queen arranged a dinner for him to bring Gu Junci into the palace.

It was already midnight when I came out of the palace after the dinner. The streets of the inner city were extremely cold and lonely under the cold light, and the sound of horseshoes was very clear and loud.

"The empress's appearance on you tonight reminds me of my mother's appearance on me when I went out to fight."

Inside the carriage, Gu Junci looked cold, his eyes full of nostalgia.

Xiao Yuan looked directly at him sideways: "Jun Ci, if you can never return to Xuanji Kingdom, what will happen to you?"

Gu Junci looked back at him, with a wry smile on his face: "It's not that good, with you here, probably, I can live the rest of my life."

While talking, he stretched out his hand to hold Xiao Yuan's palm and held it tightly.

"Then if there is a chance to go back, would you go back?" Xiao Yuan asked again.

Gu Junci raised his eyes and stared at his eyes, and thought for a while: "Yes, but I have to avenge Qingxuan and Ayu, and when I see you sitting on the crown prince, at that time I Think about going back."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a slight pain on his lips. Before he could react, his whole body fell into Xiao Yuan's arms, his lips were held, and he kissed them vigorously as if punishing him.

Xiao Yuan let go of his lips, and said seriously: "So after avenging their revenge, you will abandon me, right?"

Gu Junci stared at Xiao Yuan without blinking, and didn't know how to answer for a while.

He is naturally reluctant, very reluctant...

But if he had the chance to go back to Xuanji Country, he would definitely go back without hesitation.

Regarding Xiao Yuan and this matter, Gu Junci really didn't know what choice to make.

"I..." Gu Junci opened his lips to explain, but after only one word, he didn't know what to say.

He likes Xiao Yuan and wants to be with him forever because of love, but he wants to avenge Qingxuan and Ayu, and naturally he also wants to avenge those soldiers who died unjustly, this is righteousness.

Although it is easy to say the word love and righteousness, once he has to make a choice, he really doesn't know how to choose.

Gu Junci remained silent, and Xiao Yuan did not speak until the carriage stopped in front of the general's mansion, and the guard at the gate rushed up to greet him and said:

"General, someone has been waiting outside the door all night. They say they are your old friends and they want to see you."

Gu Junci was stunned for a moment, and carefully glanced at Xiao Yuan beside him.

Xiao Yuan said: "Since we are old friends, we should go and see."

Gu Junci just smiled, quickly lifted the curtain and jumped out of the carriage, looked at the person standing under the stone steps, with a surprised expression: "Why are you here!"
