see the gentleman

Ji Yun was riding on the horse, looking at the person in front of him with a complicated expression.

Gu Yunyan made up in a high bun and was dressed in a court dress, with a faint look of sternness between his brows and eyes.

She was originally the daughter of the Gu family, and she was born to be able to wield a sword. Even after many years of silence after entering the palace, her back, which was straightened with a sword since she was a child, is still straight and can withstand things.

Gu Yun came out from the door, and what he did to Ji Yun was not a palace ceremony, but a courtier's ceremony - in this dynasty, the empress is not only the head of the emperor's harem, but also the emperor's great help.

It's just that Gu Yun is too indifferent, and sometimes people can't think of such a queen.

"Rong Chenqie," Gu Yun's expression and tone were as calm as usual, as if what he wanted to say was to receive a guest in his garden, "someone made trouble while His Majesty was leaving the palace. I couldn't wait for His Majesty to return to the palace, so I summoned Lord Bai and Mr. Fu on my own initiative, and put down the rebellion first."

At the end, I added a sentence purely out of courtesy: "I hope Your Majesty will forgive me."

Naturally, Ji Yun couldn't blame her. He got off the horse, helped Gu Yun up with both hands, and said with a smile: "What is the queen's fault? It's thanks to the fact that there is a queen in the palace."

Gu Yun lowered his eyelids and smiled quietly.

The two looked respectful to each other, singing in harmony.

It was rare for Gu Yun to put on court clothes to fulfill her responsibilities as the mother of a country, but it seemed that she was tired after just over half a day. As soon as Ji Yun returned to the palace, Gu Yun excused that she was tired and went back to the palace to rest.

Only Bai Yanfu stayed behind, and followed Ji Yun to the study to review what happened today.

The first half was roughly the same as Ji Yun's speculation. The rebels attacked east and west, and took advantage of most of the soldiers to follow Ji Yun to the eastern suburbs and break through the Xihua Gate when the city defense was empty.But the second half was beyond Ji Yun's expectation.

"You know there is an internal response," Ji Yun raised his eyebrows, and tapped the table with his curled index finger, "You still let people in?"

Bai Yan and Fu just looked at each other, Fu just cupped his hands and said, "It's my minister's idea."

"I don't know if Your Majesty has ever caught chickens and ducks. Chickens and ducks are noisy and can jump around. When they are scattered, it is very difficult to catch them, but as long as they are driven into the chicken coop, they will be caught one by one." Yes."

Fu Zhi was born in a fake, and outsiders thought he was going to become an immortal through cultivation, and they wished to pile up balls of ethereal fairy spirit on him, but they didn't think that he was full of rural fun.

Bai Yan's eyebrows moved slightly, and a trace of a smile flashed in his eyes.

No one paid attention to his slight change, Fu just continued: "The king of Liaodong and the king of Hanyang are trapped in Heishui Xianyang, and they are at the end of their way. They divided their troops into Beijing, it was just a fight between trapped beasts, the last struggle, Of course it’s a profit if you succeed, and it’s nothing if you fail, but it’s just a matter of death. This kind of person hurts the enemy eight hundred, and he doesn’t hesitate to lose one thousand himself.

Bai Yan was at the side to help explain: "Just taking advantage of the internal response, those people entered the palace, before they had time to feel the smell, they were surrounded by our archers, and they were able to win a big victory."

Ji Yun slightly raised his eyelids, he looked at Fu Zhi carefully, he didn't know what he thought of, and pulled his lips with a half-smile: "Mr. Fu means, is my palace a chicken coop?"

Both Bai Yan and Fu Zhi couldn't help being taken aback: We've been talking together for a long time, did you only notice that your palace has become a chicken coop?

Except for this little joke that was not very dignified, Ji Yun didn't say anything else, and only roughly finalized the detailed rules for rewards and punishments afterwards, and then let people step down.

The hall was empty, and Ji Yun was sitting in a chair, resting her forehead with one hand, as if she was tired.

Xu Guangning took the teacup and was about to leave without making a sound.

He stayed by Ji Yun's side all these years, never talking too much, and never making mistakes, he is really a caring and useful mute.

It is smooth and easy to use, but sometimes it can't help but feel boring.

Like at this time, if Li Chengnian looked at him like that, he would inevitably ask a few smart questions. Although Ji Yun always said that he disliked Li Chengnian, he actually wanted to talk to him.

Adding up the two generations, he has been the emperor for so many years, but in the end he can only pick and choose one or two people, and speak his mind secretly.

Ji Yun called Xu Guangning to stop.

Xu Guangning stood still, shrugging his shoulders slightly and lowering his head in awe.

"Your Majesty, do you have anything to tell the servant?"

Seeing his cautious appearance, Ji Yun felt a little annoyed, so she just held back and said, "Did you hear what Fu Zhi said today?"

Xu Guangning hesitated for a moment, then nodded slightly.

"It is rumored that this person has a genius, and now it seems that he is really good." Ji Yun's voice softened, as if he was talking to Xu Guangning, and seemed to be talking to himself, "It happened suddenly, Fu Zhi was temporarily called into the palace by the empress, But he was able to make quick decisions, plan deployments, and take advantage of the internal response in a dangerous manner—what's more, he found out who the internal response was in such a short period of time."

Ji Yun rubbed the ring on his thumb unconsciously, his eyes were slightly dark, and there seemed to be something slightly wrong, as if a gloomy bird of prey was hidden inside.

The voice speaking to Xu Guangning was light and ethereal: "Tell me, how did he guess it?"

Xu Guangning inexplicably felt a chill from his erratic tone. His back felt chilly, and his knees almost gave way, and he fell to his knees: "You are stupid, I really can't guess what Mr. Fu means."

Ji Yun saw him trembling with fear, terrified that his panic would be hurt, his annoyance finally climbed to the peak, and he couldn't bear it any longer.

It's also because he is not clear-headed, he is hesitant, and he can't figure it out. What's the point of asking this useless waste.

He pressed his frowning brows, forcibly suppressed the thought of letting people go, and only said: "That's all, you go out."

A few days later, the news of Heishui Jiang's counterattack reached the capital.

Fan Ye, who was stationed in Heishui, was ambushed and died, and most of his [-] troops were lost.

Ji Yun was furious, and made an order in court to wipe out the rebels with all his strength.

It took another two or three days for these news to reach Qiaozhou.

Everything has already happened and become an established fact, there is no time to stop it, and it is too late to change it.

Bai Chen patrolled back to the camp from the tower, and saw that Ji Heng's face was not very good-looking, and he was repacking the two opened letters.

"What's the matter?" Bai Chen rarely saw the child with such a serious expression, so he couldn't help asking, "Where did you get the letter and what did you say?"

Ji Heng's face was a little gloomy, and he simply pushed all the letters to him: "You can read it yourself."

Bai Chen took it, and the expression on his face gradually changed. When he saw the name "Yu Hong", his eye sockets almost twitched.

... No wonder he couldn't find the person "Yu Hong" no matter what before. Who would have thought that this person changed his name and surname, and then hid it safely behind a false name, so that no one could find him again.

"Yu Hong" turned into "Yu Hong", this clumsy trick successfully concealed the truth, and he did the same thing as in the previous life, it seemed that all the preparations to deliberately mock him were in vain.

Prince Jiheng had already read these two letters before, and was sweated by the turbulent waves inside, but now he only saw the first letter when he saw Bai Chen, and his face became like this, the veins on his face were about to burst out , couldn't help being taken aback, but instead comforted him: "Although we also have losses, after all, the opponent is nothing more than pheasant offal, how can it compare to our orthodox army, even if they break into the capital, there will still be no good results."

"What did you say!" Bai Chen raised his face abruptly when he heard the words, his eyes were actually blood red: "They also broke into the capital?!"

Just like in the previous life, they still entered the capital all the way.

Ji Heng also nodded in fear, and said: "Yes, they also installed internal agents in the court and opened the palace gate for them. But thanks to Bai Qing's foresight, I heard that when Bai Qing came here, Mr. Fu was originally For those who want to go together, luckily Bai Qing left Mr. Fu Jifu in the capital, otherwise the crisis in the capital might not be so easy to get through."

As he spoke, out of admiration for the hero, Ji Heng couldn't help but start chattering again: "Mr. Fu is really a strange man, he led that group of useless young master soldiers, insisted on guarding the palace, and even used that Neiying, in turn, wiped out the rebels, and the emperor really praised him a lot..."

But Bai Chen listened, but for some reason, his face turned pale inch by inch.

Fu only made a decisive decision and tried his best to turn the tide, and even picked out who was the insider at a glance... What would Feng Lang think, would he think that Fu was just guided by someone?

Bai Chen tightly clenched his fingers, and he didn't even feel his nails sinking into his palm.

He could only silently digest the waves surging in his heart.

He can't panic, can't get confused, all these familiar trajectories can't explain anything, Fu Zhi was also summoned by Queen Gu Yun, so it can't be counted on him.

He gritted his teeth and tasted a faint smell of blood.

He lived it all over again, not to witness how history happened again.
