The Reborn Widow's Husband Search

"I don't dare to be your servant!" Qu Yu bowed slightly, "Your Highness should know that I was lucky enough to catch up with King Ning and send reinforcements back. In fact, this servant does not have the ability to protect the emperor and the capital."

Gu Xingge was taken aback by Qu Yu's estranged words, and then he smiled more cordially, "Second sister-in-law, there are no outsiders at this time, they are all our own people, and our own family members don't need to use so many polite manners."

"Your Majesty, I would like to thank Your Highness for your love, but I have not yet married King Ning. Your Highness's 'Second Sister-in-law'...I really don't dare to be your Majesty." Qu Yu said as if embarrassed.

"Well, that's right, then I'll call you Brother Yu first, and I'll change my name after you get married with brother!" Gu Xingge laughed happily. "Brother Yu, the safety of this palace depends on you!"

Qu Yu could only laugh a few times along with him, "Your Highness, I have taken the liberty to disturb you this time because I want to ask Your Highness for help. The main force of the prince leading the army to suppress the rebellion this time is the remaining [-] people who originally aided the North Army. Now the prince will These people have been sent back to help put down the chaos in the capital, and I am worried that the rebels will take advantage of this opportunity to make trouble, so I want to bring some people to help the prince put down the rebellion."

Gu Xingge was taken aback by Qu Yu's words, he was only interested in being happy, and even forgot how dangerous it was for his brother to disperse his troops and come back to help calm the chaos in the capital. "Brother Yu is more considerate! I'm going to ask Father for an order!"

"Your Highness, the Emperor was injured and has not yet woken up..." Qu Yu reminded.

"It's okay, let the army rest for a day first, I will discuss it with the ministers, and report to the father directly when he wakes up. I think the father will not make it difficult. It's just... After the battle last night, the guards in the palace are afraid It's all unreliable, you have to leave some people for me." Gu Xingge said while thinking, no one could give him a taste of "a clever woman can't cook without rice".

"Yes, my servant is going to prepare first!" Qu Yu resigned.The time of the day is a bit tense, and he still has two little guys who are as big as ghosts to settle!

Gu Xingge watched Qu Yu leave, and immediately sent people to call the ministers to discuss matters.Zhao Yuansheng dared to make a sudden attack last night, and his people must be indispensable among the ministries and workers. It's not that Gu Xingge didn't want to take the opportunity to find out these people, it's just that the timing was wrong.

The empress lineage was dismantled vigorously by the emperor, and the imperial concubine lineage had become dominant in the court. Although the third prince didn't come out and jump around to brush up his presence, he was just a clown-like existence in the eyes of everyone.According to such a situation, Gu Xingge, as the soul of the noble concubine, can do whatever he wants to do, but the emperor is still there, and Gu Xingge is just a prince. He has neither the title of prince nor the warrant of supervision from the emperor. If Gu Xing Gemao rashly moved the emperor's courtiers, it would only arouse the emperor's suspicion.And at this time the entire imperial palace was going to be cleaned up, he was only one person, he had no time to clean up the court, he could only keep those hidden moths temporarily, and hoped that they would be more honest about current affairs.

Gu Xingge first dealt with the important affairs in the court, and then went to serve the decoction to his father who had not yet woken up. Only after it was over did he realize that he forgot to ask how the imperial concubine was doing after a busy day!Regardless of rest, Gu Xingge hurried to the imperial concubine's bedroom again.Although it was a little messy, there was no blood, Gu Xingge felt relieved and went in to greet the noble concubine.

The noble concubine cried when she saw her son. At this age, it was the first time for her to experience such a dangerous situation. In front of the servants, she had to act like a noble concubine and not cry. After seeing her son, she felt relieved and cried bitterly. , finally, it's safe... When the imperial concubine had cried enough, the palace servants came to report that the emperor had woken up after the mother and son had spoken a few words.The mother and son hurried to the emperor's bedroom.

The emperor was forced into the palace twice in a row, and the fright was the second.The emperor also felt that it might be inappropriate for him to insist on handling political affairs, so he recruited a few confidants and authorized Gu Xingge to supervise the country in front of the courtiers.

Gu Xingge took the opportunity to propose that Qu Yu be named General Jinhe to help Gu Xingji fight against the emperor, and he agreed, and only said, "You can handle these things at your own discretion in the future, and you don't need to ask me for instructions." A courtier's heart brightened, the emperor is going to completely delegate power to the fourth prince!It seems that their next monarch, eight|nine inseparable, is the fourth prince!In order to leave a good impression on the future master, several courtiers worked extraordinarily hard.With them as the vane, the rest of the courtiers would not be stupid enough to trouble the fourth prince, so Gu Xingge took over the power in the court smoothly.

The affairs of the harem were handed over to the highest-ranking imperial concubine after the empress was deposed.With the power to command the harem, the imperial concubine quickly forgot the fright she had suffered yesterday, and began to purge the harem in good spirits.

Qu Yu received the emperor's imperial decree and the general's seal that night.Gu Xingge kept him [-] soldiers and horses, and gathered some soldiers and horses for him from other places, and got [-] for him to take away.Qu Yu, who was already prepared, decided not to delay any longer, and set off early the next morning with his two children!

He didn't want to take the two children with him at first, after all, marching and fighting is not a child's play, but the two little guys have more ghosts than the other, and the result of the two together is definitely that one plus one is greater than two!Accidentally fell into the way of the two children, so he had no choice but to take them to set off together.However, the capital is currently in chaos, and staying in the capital is not much safer than following him to suppress the rebellion.At least he will take care of them on weekdays, and the two children can be placed in the rear camp during the war.

On the day Qu Yu set off, the rebels surrounded Qushui City, which Gu Xingji had just captured, and put on a siege.On that day, the generals of the rebel army threatened Gu Xingji not to besiege the city with perverted means. Of course, they were afraid of not having enough food and grass.Unexpectedly, Gu Xingji directly sent someone to break open the city gate from the inside, neither delaying time nor causing too many casualties.

Now that the offense and defense are reversed, the rebels will naturally not be moral, and sent a hundred thousand troops to besiege the city, waiting for work at leisure.The situation Gu Xing encountered at this time was completely different from what the rebels encountered before.As early as when the rebels captured Qushui City, they searched the city clean to supply the rebel army. When Gu Xingji attacked the city, the rebels fled after hearing the news and took all the food they could take away. If you leave, everything that cannot be taken away will be burned.

The nearly [-] troops plus the tens of thousands of people in the city consume a lot of food every day.Before the enemy besieged the city, Gu Xingji had already ordered the mobilization of food and grass from the surrounding villages and towns to meet the urgent needs. However, the enemy suddenly besieged the city, and the food and grass mobilized could barely sustain the consumption of the people in the city for a day or two.In order to prevent civil upheavals, Gu Xingji could not watch the people go hungry, so he could only distribute military rations to the people. However, the amount of military rations was also limited, and the soldiers had to go to war to have enough to eat, so the food available in the city was getting more and more less.

The rebels also understood the situation in the city, so they surrounded the city in a big way, and went to the gate of the city to cook and cook every day, letting the fragrance waft into the city.

"Marshal, it's not an option to go on like this! Why don't we go out and fight those thieves while we still have enough food to feed our brothers, maybe we can break out!" A brash man next to Gu Xingge said road.

Of course Gu Xingji knew that besieging the city was not an option, but the enemy seemed to spend a lot of money to trap him, and even mobilized 15 troops to besiege the city.There are only less than [-] generals in the city. It is no problem to break out if you fight hard, but what about after you break out?The enemy made it clear that he wanted to hold him back, even if he led people to escape to the next city, there was no guarantee that the enemy would not besiege the city again.

If his [-] elites were not sent back to the capital, he would go out of the city to fight the enemy to the death.The King of Liaodong may have made a lot of money in these years, but the number of soldiers he can support with the power of one place is limited. Gu Xingji estimates that these people are more than half of the entire army of the King of Liaodong. It's almost settled down.

"Marshal, can we still get in touch with the capital these days?" Mr. Situ asked, stroking his beard.

Gu Xingji shook his head, "The rebels are surrounded like iron bars, and the people in the city can't even beat a bird to satisfy their hunger. Our carrier pigeons were shot down as soon as they flew out."

Mr. Situ stroked his beard again, "Marshal, this subordinate feels that something is wrong. The enemy has been provoking every day these days, but they have no real intention of going to war. It seems that they just need to trap us in the city."

"You mean, there are changes in the capital? What they want to do is trap us and prevent us from going back to help?" Gu Xingji instantly understood what Mr. Situ meant.But he sent 3 people back a long time ago. Did the enemy not notice it or did the enemy not pay attention to these 3 people at all?

"It should mean that. They are probably convinced that the people in the capital can successfully steal the country, and then the rebels will become us. They just need to persuade them to surrender outside the city, and they don't need to work hard!" Mr. Situ speculated from the perspective of the rebels Then he said: "What we have to do now is to get in touch with the capital again. If we can get in touch with the nearby cities, it would be even better to move in reinforcements to cooperate with the outside world!"

Gu Xingji nodded while listening, "If the carrier pigeon can't fly out, we can only send people to rush out." Rushing out is easy to say, but not easy to do.Crossing the blockade line of 15 troops is actually easy to do! "It's just that this trip is even more dangerous than entering the city to assassinate the enemy general that day..."

"This subordinate is willing to go!" Xu Shaoxian stood up again.Gu Xingji did not allow it, Xu Shaoxian's injury has not healed yet, so he is not a suitable candidate, but the others...

"Pay close attention to the enemy's movements, it is best to be able to find out the regularity of the enemy's patrolling routine." Gu Xingji didn't say who to send, nor when, but everyone present knew it well.The food in the city can't last for five days, and it will take two days to go back and forth to the nearest city to Qushui City, plus the time to mobilize soldiers, horses, food and grass... This operation must be carried out in these two days!

Sure enough, on the second day, Gu Xingji picked up a group of 50 dead soldiers and sneaked out in the dark.Gu Xingji didn't sleep all night, and the sergeant came to report before dawn. The 50-man team sent out was wiped out, and the corpse was thrown at the gate of the city...
