Married Thrice to Salted Fish

Over the past few days, all civil and military officials in the morning court were discussing the fall of Yongliang.Wu Zhan once again recommended himself, and even the nearly eighty-year-old Wu Guogong stood up and volunteered.

The two are full of fighting spirit, and they seem to be overwhelmed by obstacles and overwhelmed.Xiao Jie was infected by the aura of the two of them, but he didn't dare to make a claim. He turned around and asked Empress Dowager Wen who was sitting behind the bead curtain: "Mother, look..."

What the ministers didn't expect was that there was only one person standing behind the bead curtain besides the queen mother.This person is dressed in a fifth-rank official uniform, and he is none other than Lin Qingyu, who is a member of the holy family.

Empress Dowager Wen shook her head and said: "General Wu is good at water warfare and has never fought in the Northwest; Duke Wu is old and has spent many years in Beijing. I am afraid that he has more energy than he wants."

Duke Wu refused to accept it: "Lian Po, the famous general of Zhao, is still able to fight in the battlefield at the age of more than [-]. The minister is not yet [-], and the minister can still fight!"

Xiao Jie was fidgeting on the dragon chair: "Could it be that there is no one else... Uh, except for General Gu."

"There is no one else. Over the years, Dayu's military generals have been dead and disabled, and a large number of them have been implicated in the battle for the succession. Now Dayu's generals are weak, and we are the only ones who can use them." "Wu Zhan twitched his lips, "Emperor, Queen Mother, although I have never been to the Northwest, the war is very similar. Since General Gu doesn't want to go, let me try."

It is not difficult to hear that when Wu Zhan mentioned "General Gu", his tone of reverence was not as reverent as usual.Last year, the first emperor wanted Gu Fuzhou to return to the northwest to take over Zhao Mingwei's position, but Gu Fuzhou declined on the grounds that the remaining poison was not cleared.At that time, both Wu Zhan and Wu Guogong were on Gu Fuzhou's side.

However, today is different from the past, the battle in the Northwest is extremely tense, Zhao Mingwei died and was humiliated, Xixia even cut off his tongue to openly provoke;At this time, anyone who has the air of a general, even if he is still alive, will be obliged to go to the battlefield.But Gu Fuzhou was still the same as last year, saying that he was unwell, thanking guests behind closed doors, and even refused to come to the morning court.

General Gu... let them down.

The queen mother hesitated, and looked at Lin Qingyu: "Doctor Lin, what do you think?"

Lin Qingyu was about to speak when Xiao Songzi came quickly from the side door: "Queen Mother, Imperial Physician Lin, an urgent report from the Northwest."

The Empress Dowager opened the report, read it at a glance, and her face was extremely ugly: "The capital of Xixia issued a declaration of war, vowing to avenge the prince of Xixia who died in Yongliang ten years ago. The statement said that Dayu was required to send Gu Fuzhou to the front line. You can also take the head of the superior in an open and aboveboard manner. Otherwise, the Xixia army will slaughter Yongliang City in one month."

Ten years ago, the former prince of Xixia was killed by General Gu's Qingyun Kyushu gun.

Lin Qingyu took the memorandum as if it weighed more than a thousand catties in his hand, without saying a word, his face was terribly gloomy.

The Queen Mother called out: "Doctor Lin..." She hesitated for a moment, then said, "Qing Yu?"

Lin Qingyu said "um", and then came back to his senses, realizing that he was still above the court.

"There are no generals in the court, only General Gu is qualified for the position of General Zhengxi. What's more, if he doesn't go, will the court abandon tens of thousands of people in Yongliang?" The Queen Mother sighed, "The one who overturned the nest Come on, how can there be any eggs. Today Xixia slaughtered Yongliang City, and tomorrow they slaughtered Shangjing City."

Lin Qingyu sneered and said, "The Empress Dowager doesn't need to tell my ministers these great truths. Everyone understands the truth."

The Empress Dowager hesitated and said, "Then, do you want to inform the ministers?"

Lin Qingyu found that he could no longer think quietly, so he could only instinctively say: "Don't say anything for now."

After the imperial court was over, Xiao Songzi found Lin Qingyu and told him: "Doctor Lin, a slave sent an urgent report just now, and I ran into General Gu on the way—the general has already read the urgent report."

Lin Qingyu's chest was choked, and he asked, "Where is he now?"

"The general said that he is waiting for you in the imperial garden."

When Lin Qingyu found Gu Fuzhou, Gu Fuzhou was sitting by the pond, absent-mindedly feeding the fish food.There are dozens of brightly colored koi in the pond of the imperial garden, adding a touch of color to the monotonous winter.

Gu Fuzhou sprinkled a handful of fish food, and the koi rushed over to grab the food.He saw Lin Qingyu's reflection in the water, and said: "Look at the fish in this pond, they were born in the palace, they were fed so fat, and they usually eat a lot, so why do they fight with their companions?"

Lin Qingyu said: "It's because greed is endless."

Gu Fuzhou deeply believed: "It makes sense."

Lin Qingyu asked: "Since you are here, why don't you go to court?"

Gu Fuzhou threw out the rest of the fish food and said: "There is no seat for me in the Zichen Palace, I am too tired to stand."

"If others hear your words, they will think that you have a heart of disobedience." Apart from the emperor, the only one who can sit in the Zichen hall is the empress dowager who is listening behind the curtain.

Gu Fuzhou smiled and said: "This is wronging me, being an emperor is so hard, I have no interest."

What Gu Fuzhou said was funny, Lin Qingyu wanted to smile as usual, but he couldn't.He asked, "You saw the Northwest Express."

Gu Fuzhou nodded and sighed: "What about Qing Yu, this time, I seem to have to go."

The word "not necessarily" was stuck in Lin Qingyu's throat, unable to say it.

"In the past few days, the government and the government have criticized me quite a lot. Wu Zhan found me yesterday, and in a hurry, he pointed at me and scolded me for being a coward—to die of laughter." Gu Fuzhou actually laughed out loud. As if this is an extremely ridiculous thing, "Although, this is my own death, but to make Wu Zhan so violent, someone must be embellishing it."

Lin Qingyu also thought of this level: "Indeed."

"No matter who it is, his goal has been achieved. If I don't go to the northwest, and I gradually lose support in the court, how can those passionate men serve me wholeheartedly in the future. A general who doesn't want to go to the battlefield, if in the army He has no prestige, but he can't even protect his own wife." Gu Fuzhou pressed his eyebrows, "Now, Xixia is threatening the lives of Yongliang people again—it's so annoying."

Lin Qingyu listened silently to Gu Fuzhou, and said, "So, you want to go."

Gu Fuzhou said: "It's not that I want to go, it's that I have to go."

Lin Qingyu said indifferently: "You really care about the common people."

"Because you are also a member of the common people." Gu Fuzhou didn't think about it, "I protect them, and I also protect you."

Lin Qingyu lowered his eyes slowly, and said in a low voice: "I don't want your protection, and I don't want to be a saint who cares about the common people. I just want to be with you."

Gu Fuzhou patiently explained: "General Gu killed so many dead souls of Xixia, and Xixia is obviously targeting me this time. Unless Xixia is completely defeated, can I hide for a while, can I hide for a lifetime?"

Lin Qingyu sarcastically said: "You have to tell me the truth."

"I'm not……"

Lin Qingyu interrupted him coldly: "Have you ever thought about what should I do if something happens to you?"

Gu Fuzhou was taken aback.

Lin Qingyu's voice trembled slightly: "On a snowy night two years ago, I knelt in front of your wheelchair, watched you die gradually, and felt your coldness in my palm bit by bit. At that time, I hadn't seen myself clearly. Maybe I can bear the pain of losing my husband. But now, if I want to go through it again..."

Gu Fuzhou's Adam's apple rolled, and he said in a hoarse voice: "Qing Yu..."

"It's not terrible to lose, what's terrible is to get it and lose it again." Lin Qingyu looked at his hands and murmured, "Even if it's for me, it's too cruel."

Gu Fuzhou said in a low voice: "I'm sorry, Qingyu. But this time, I will definitely work hard to come back. You see, I have already written a guarantee letter for you."

Lin Qingyu said dumbly: "Didn't you try your best to live longer at that time? As a result, you apologized to me before you died, saying that you were sorry and that you had worked very hard, but you still didn't live long enough for Xiao Teng to die. That day—have you forgotten all of this?"

"I haven't forgotten. But I was so ill at the time, no matter how hard I tried, it was useless. But it's different now, I have a healthy body, and hard work should produce miracles." Gu Fuzhou smiled, "By the way, Qingyu, I You haven't set out yet, it's too unlucky for you to think so much."

Lin Qingyu couldn't help asking: "Are you really not worried at all?"

Gu Fuzhou thought for a while and said, "Actually, I'm still a little scared."

Lin Qingyu stared at him.

"I'm afraid that I won't do well, and I'm afraid that people who trust me will die because of my wrong decision. I'm afraid of being tired, afraid of pain, and I hate the feeling of losing, and I'm even more afraid..." The voice stopped abruptly, and Gu Fuzhou's words came to his lips Swallowed it back again.He said leisurely: "So, a person like me will never be the protagonist."

Lin Qingyu knew that Gu Fuzhou was coaxing him again with the old trick of alleviating the atmosphere, but he couldn't help but follow his words and asked, "Why did you say that?"

"Because the hero in the storybook is either super powerful and can easily crush his opponents; or he has a pure heart and knows that he can't do it. But I," Gu Fuzhou spread his hands, "neither have much strength, but also Lazy and timid, no wonder you can only wear supporting roles when you wear books."

"Wrong." Lin Qingyu said, "Lu Wancheng and Gu Fuzhou may be supporting roles. But when you come, they become the protagonists."

A smile lit up in Gu Fuzhou's eyes: "You're so good, Doctor Lin. But you're also wrong, I made Lu Wancheng and Gu Fuzhou the protagonists of this book because I came by your side and got the honor of a great beauty. Qing Yu, do you still remember what a protagonist is?"

Lin Qingyu repeated what Gu Fuzhou once said verbatim: "The so-called 'protagonist' is the one who will always be the dazzling one no matter how many swords, lights, swords, bloody storms, even the moment when he crawls out of the mud."

Gu Fuzhou snapped his fingers, and said in a relaxed tone, "That's right. Xiao Teng is dead, we replaced him as the protagonist, the halo is on us, so we don't die so easily."

Lin Qingyu disagreed with this statement.He was silent for a moment, then suddenly looked at Gu Fuzhou, and said, "Xu Jun wishes."

Gu Fuzhou said: "Qingyu, are you mad, I am your husband, not Xu Junyuan."

Lin Qingyu was extremely anxious: "Back then, it was Xu Jun who was willing to use your birth date to figure out whether you should die. We can ask him to do the math again, to see if you can win a big victory in this trip and return to Beijing safely."

Gu Fuzhou said "Oh", as if he felt that it was useless to find Xu Junyuan, but in order not to spoil Lin Qingyu's interest, he still said: "It makes sense."

Lin Qingyu immediately said: "It's not too late, I'll order someone to prepare the car."

Gu Fuzhou smiled and said: "You and I are both powerful ministers, why do we need to go to Changsheng Temple to find him—someone, Xuan Xujun is willing to enter the palace, so he said that the emperor wants to see him."
