The Reborn Widow's Husband Search

Gu Xingji had already persuaded Qu Yu and Shaoer to go back to the capital with him. These days, he handed over the matter of the water vein map to Kou Ying, and he himself stayed by Qu Yu's side, making appointments for horseback riding and hunting from time to time. , It can be regarded as deliberately cultivating feelings subtly.

Not to mention, Qu Yu really smiled a lot these days, and he got a lot closer to Gu Xingji.In the past, they were close, but it seemed like they were separated by something. Now... There is also a layer of window paper. Who made General Gu Xingji not confess his love!

On this day, Gu Xingji invited Qu Yu to ride a horse again, thinking that he would confess his love to his daughter-in-law when no one was around. rushed over. "General, it's not good. The king of Liaodong rebelled and brought an army of 20 all the way to the capital. The resistance along the way was not good. We can reach the capital in less than a month. The emperor ordered the general to bring his troops back to the king of Jingqin quickly! "

"The King of Liaodong? How come? Even if Liaodong is rich, he can't let him raise 20 private troops!" Gu Xingji didn't believe it.In recent years, the Wu Dynasty had internal and external troubles, and all places were not peaceful, but the Liaodong King was appointed by the emperor himself, and the purpose was to contain the pirates coming from the east sea.

"King of Liaodong?" Qu Yu said that he had never heard of this title.

"The king of Liaodong was originally a great general of Hushi, but he was later conferred the title of king of Dinghai by his father. Because the fief is mainly in the Liaodong area, everyone calls him the king of Liaodong." Gu Xingji frowned, "Order to go on, and the reinforcements to the north must be assembled quickly. , depart for Beijing today!"

Of course Gu Xingji is so anxious not because of King Qin, but because his younger brother and son are still in that city!Qu Yu was not pretentious, and immediately handed the horse's reins to the groom beside him, and went back to the small courtyard to pack his luggage.

Because it was said earlier that he was going to the capital, Qu Yu had already started to deal with the things in the small courtyard. If he could give it away, he would give it away, and if he could not give it away, he would leave it in the courtyard. There are also spoils of war seized when they captured the Qiang king's tent, and they were quickly packed up.

He was about to go to find Shao'er, when he saw Shao'er rushing back, took out a small bundle that he had prepared a long time ago from the cabinet, and carried it on his back like a ghost, "Uncle, we can go now! "

Shao'er prepared this little burden for a long time, and Qu Yu didn't know what he had prepared. The child had a little secret, and Qu Yu didn't have to know it, so he let him go.

It was almost noon at this time, and it was already a little late, but the situation was urgent, so they had to leave in a hurry.Hurry up along the way, because of the tempering of the previous battle with the Qiang people, although this small team passed through Fucheng County and villages very low-key, everyone who saw it would feel a sense of killing .

Everyone hurried all the way, and finally returned to the capital before the arrival of the rebels.At this time, people in the capital were already in a state of panic, there were no running dogs and cockfighting dudes on the streets, and the streets were quite deserted.

Gu Xingji went all the way back and directly entered the palace.Because he was only on his way, he didn't know the current situation of the rebels. However, if he wanted to control the enemy, he must have an understanding of the enemy. That's why he went straight to the palace to inquire about the current situation of the enemy and ourselves.

When Gu Xingji asked to see him, the emperor was discussing with the ministers how to deal with the enemy. Although Gu Xingji was allowed to enter the study, he did not give him a serious look. Finally, he sent Guo Hong, the general of the Gyeonggi Reserve Army, as the defense commander. The defense of the capital.

Gu Xingji listened for a while, and already understood the general situation.But the emperor hurriedly called him back but did not send him an errand, which is a bit strange.

The fourth prince standing not far away gave Gu Xingji a wink calmly, and Gu Xingji fell silent immediately.After the courtiers received their orders to leave, Gu Xingji stepped forward to pay respects to his father.

The emperor said flatly, "The emperor has worked hard, bring the tiger amulet, let's go back to the house and settle it!" Gu Xingji was dismissed with one sentence.

Gu Xingji clenched his fists, then calmly took out a black stone tiger charm from the armor, and raised his hands above his head.The eunuchs around the emperor took it and presented it to the emperor. "My son, leave!"

Gu Xingji came out of the imperial study room and habitually wanted to go to the palace where he lived before, but a young eunuch suddenly bowed and blocked Gu Xingji's way, "His Royal Highness Ning Wang, further back is the harem, and it is inconvenient for His Highness to enter. , Your Highness’s previous palace artifacts, the Emperor has ordered his servants to send them to His Highness’s residence!”

Gu Xingji was taken aback, at that time he was quite hasty for King Ning, so that the court was not prepared, so he left from the palace to go to the northwest.Unexpectedly, in less than a year, he was returning, and he had already been kicked out!

Gu Xingji smiled coldly, "Lead the way!"

Gu Xingji left the palace with a cold face and went to Prince Ning's mansion.Because he was the first among the princes in this generation to be crowned king, the people in the House of Internal Affairs did not dare to fool him even though they knew that he was not favored.After all, the number one is engaged in something special, and the others behind can't get past it. If the leader of the number one is not doing well, it will be even more difficult to clean up the palace in the future.

Gu Xingji turned around and saw his son who had grown up a lot.He casually pointed out a guard and told him to bring the young daughter-in-law and Shao'er back, but soon he was told that the young prince protecting the country had already returned to the Duke's Mansion in the capital.

Gu Xingji frowned, "Prepare hot water, I want to take a bath!" Gu Xingji cleaned himself up and filled his stomach before waiting for his fourth brother Gu Xingge.

The little prince Yao'er was very close to his fourth uncle, and when he saw this uncle who doted on him very much, he abandoned his father and fled to his uncle's embrace.

Gu Xingge saw that his brother had a taste, so he smiled and said: "Yao'er has been living with me in the palace before, and he was sent back today, so he is relatively close to me. Already!"

The two brothers talked about Yao'er's topic for a while, and when they saw Yao'er started rubbing his eyes, they sent a nanny to hug him to sleep.The brothers just started talking about business.

"What's going on today?" Gu Xingji asked with an unhappy expression.The tens of thousands of troops he brought back from the northwest were brought out by him alone, and they were his direct descendants. The emperor actually took away his military power with a single word.If Xing Ge hadn't kept giving him winks, he would never have handed over the Tiger Talisman anyway.

"What else is going on, the crown prince gave you eye drops!" Gu Xingge sneered. "It's also brother, you stayed in the northwest for too long, which gave them something to talk about. The emperor probably wanted to cool you off. After all, your performance in the northwest is obvious to all. I guess my brother will be needed to lead the army to counter the rebellion. .”

"Me? But the emperor has appointed Guo Hong as marshal..." Gu Xingji had been away from the capital for too long, and some news was not well informed, so he was unable to analyze the current situation.

"Father was only talking about the defense of the capital, but he didn't say that it was up to him to send troops to quell the rebellion. Guo Hong is not worth much. Father has already seen it clearly." Gu Xingge has been by the emperor's side these years, Not only did he know the emperor's temper and preferences well, but he also knew [-]% to [-]% of them.

"Unbearable to use so much, the emperor still entrusted the defense of Gyeonggi to him?" Gu Xingji said that he didn't understand.

"Because he is loyal, Guo Hong has not stood on any side in the bright side so far. He behaves like a pure minister who only obeys the orders of the father, so the father trusts him. As for the defense of the capital, it is important , but if you have already wiped out the enemy on the periphery, what difference does it make if who will be in charge of the defense of the capital?" Gu Xingge analyzed.

"Father is so confident that I can win?" Gu Xingji is not fully sure about this battle, why is father so convinced?Is there something hidden in it that he doesn't know about?

"I'm also very surprised at this point. Why is the father so sure?" Gu Xingge touched the bottom and thought, "I will find someone to investigate this matter again. There is one thing that I am very worried about!"

Gu Xingji raised his eyebrows, he had never seen his brother so unconfident.

"It's about Guo Hong!" Gu Xingge paused, "I just said that Guo Hongming only listens to his father's order on the surface, but secretly? My brother also knows that I have not been peaceful in various places in recent years, so the strength of the army is not large. Not enough. Gyeonggi has the Gyeonggi Army, the Gyeonggi Reserve Army, and the North Aid Army that my brother brought back this time. It is estimated that there will be about 15 troops in total. According to the father's temperament, giving the eldest brother 10 people is the best. Already. Big brother must be very strenuous with 10 people fighting an enemy twice as large as our own. If something goes wrong in the capital at this time, there must be no time to come back to help..."

"You mean... forcing the palace?" Gu Xingji's face turned serious, "Is this just your guess? Big... no way?"

Gu Xingge shook his head, "I really hope that my elder brother has this courage, but... If someone seizes this opportunity, not only can he win the throne in one fell swoop, but my elder brother will be hurt when he fights with the rebels. He just needs to sit back and enjoy the benefits." That's it!"

"Sure enough, it's a good strategy!" Gu Xingji nodded, "But the King of Liaodong didn't think of this? Speaking of the King of Liaodong, why did he suddenly have so many soldiers?"

"That man hides very deeply. It's not surprising that the spies of the King of Liaodong couldn't find out. More than half of his 20 troops are pirates and Japanese pirates at sea!" Gu Xingge gritted his teeth. But compared to the Liaodong king's collusion with bandits, betrayal of the country is nothing.At least the former Central Plains is still my Central Plains people, and the latter is indeed leading wolves into the house!

"The King of Liaodong is full of fame and wealth, why does he still have to collude with the Japanese? This damages his reputation?" Gu Xingji was very puzzled by the behavior of the King of Liaodong.

Gu Xingge, who was a few years younger than him, smiled sarcastically, "I don't have enough people, I always think that the historian's pen is in the hands of those in power. As long as he succeeds in aspiring to the Central Plains, he will definitely overthrow the emperor in the future. It is mentioned that he won the world by relying on Japanese talents."

Gu Xingji didn't go any further.Seeing his younger brother, who is a few years younger than him, clearly understands this, he feels a little sour.He patted his ass and went to the Northwest, leaving the child for the younger brother. This is the reason why the younger brother grew up so fast, right?

Gu Xingji patted his younger brother on the shoulder, "You have worked hard these days, if there is anything my brother can do for you, just ask, and my brother will definitely help you!"

"Then please ask my brother to rest in the mansion for a few days, and let my father see how my brother thinks about his mistakes!" Can Gu Xingji agree to this matter?
