After raising the emperor, he always wanted to marry me

The news of Gu Xiu's annihilation of the entire Monan clan in a few days spread to the previous court, and it exploded in an instant like a raging fire.

The king of war did not get the emperor's order, so he privately mobilized his army to directly wipe out a large tribe with more than [-] households, causing the two thousand miles of grassland in the Mengshi territory to be directly burned to scorched earth.

So ruthless, so violent.

It's truly breathtaking.

Above the court, officials from various ministries, headed by Zhongqin Zaifu Han Ming, all wrote a memorial, bluntly asking the king to deal with the war king Gu Xiu according to the law of the country.

"Your Majesty, I think that although His Royal Highness Zhan Wang privately dispatched the army to go out, there is a reason for it. King Monan humiliated the princess so far, and it also damaged the face of our country. If His Highness Zhan Wang shrinks back, wouldn't it make others more powerful? "Ding You, the general Ding Quan who returned to the court not long ago, was one of the few civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty who spoke out for Gu Xiu.

"General Ding Quan's words are wrong. Although it is said that the humiliation of the princess in the south of the desert is the fault of exterminating the family, no matter how urgent the war king is, he should send someone to the court to ask for an order before he can lead the army. Otherwise, where the king is, it is the law of the country. Where is it?" Han Ming stood in front of all the officials, and argued with Ding Quan righteously.

Above the court hall, there was a lot of voices.

King Gu Hong sat upright, not saying a word.

Since the military report came back, Gu Hong had two thoughts in his heart.

One of his thoughts is to feel sorry for his daughter's experience in Monan territory. As a father, he can't wait to kill that Ari Silan who bullied his daughter with his own hands.

Another thought is the dilemma in dealing with Gu Xiu's problem.He never thought that Gu Xiu's prestige in the army has reached such a level that everyone responds to it, and the hundreds of thousands of frontier soldiers are still willing to go out with him and let him send and order even though they know that there is no emperor's order.Such a sharp-edged prince, as a monarch, it is impossible not to be afraid.

But after thinking about it, his son has a reputation in the army, but he has no support for the army.After the destruction of the southern part of the desert, Gu Xiu took the princess directly back to Beijing.Knowing that this trip to Beijing is a felony, but still without any hesitation, even without a little temptation, what kind of rebellion is this?

In the court hall, Ding Quan was almost drowned by the spittle of the officials. The king who was silent for a long time finally spoke: "We will discuss everything after the King of War returns to Beijing."

At noon, Han Ming did not return home.Instead, he followed Gu Yan's car and went directly to Prince Xun's mansion.

"Your Highness, why didn't you say a word in the court today?" Han Ming stood with his hands behind his hands in the study of Prince Xuan's mansion, straight to the point.

"Uncle, today's matter is right and wrong. Ari Silan deserves to die for insulting his elder sister. If I were the king of war, I wouldn't end up so happily with one blow!" Gu Yan poured himself a sip of tea, suppressing the anger in his chest : "If I knew this earlier, I should have abolished him in Yunni'an back then."

"Your Highness, what the old minister is talking about is not the princess, but the King of War. The King of War is now becoming more and more prestigious in the previous court, and he has no flaws. Today's opportunity is once in a thousand years. If you don't take the opportunity to trample him to death, he will not live in a few days." It will ride on your head."

"With him being a martial lunatic, what ability does he have to ride on my head? It's just a few victories, and he doesn't know anything about the affairs of the court. Besides, he is the son of a criminal minister, and it is impossible for the emperor to entrust him. With heavy responsibility."

"Won't you entrust him with important tasks? Your Highness, do you know how much military power is in the hands of the King of War? Even if His Highness ascends to a high position in the future, and the King of War holds a heavy army, can you control him, Your Highness? With his reputation in the army, he will be overwhelmed in the future." The world is also easy! I have taught His Highness for so many years, but His Highness still can't put his mind on the position, what are you arguing with that six-rooted King Duan all day long!" Han Ming was very angry, and the solid wood round table was slapping and muffled ring.

"Even if it's as uncle said, it shouldn't be this time. He broke the national law this time because of his elder sister." Mentioning this matter, Gu Yan's anger couldn't be quenched.

How could that foreign bastard who couldn't get on the stage have the guts to bully his elder sister?

"So what? Your Highness thinks that after this time, there is still a chance to defeat the King of War?" Han Ming supported Gu Yan's shoulder, and said earnestly: "Your Highness, why don't you understand?"

"This king understands what my uncle said. This king is also the prince of the country, and his prestige in the court is no less than that of Gu Xiu. Why can't this king fight with him in an upright manner? Relying on the elder sister's scars to overthrow me Him, this king can't do it!" Gu Yan's eyebrows were tightly locked, and he spoke sternly.

"That's all. If your highness doesn't want to do it, let me do it. Your highness just keeps silent in front of the court." Han Ming took a deep breath, patted his forehead, and said no more.

Three days later, Gu Xiu arrived in Bianjing with the [-] elite soldiers and the princess.

Under the city gate, both Gu Yan and Gu You had been waiting there with their wives and family members.Waiting with them were officials from the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple.

Gu Xiu got off his horse, and Gu You stepped forward, grabbing the man's shoulder and frowning at a loss: "Seventh Brother, Seventh Brother, why..."

"Leave me alone, I'm fine. Eldest sister is in the car, you can take elder sister back to the palace first." Gu Xiu patted Gu You on the shoulder, indicating with his eyes that he was fine.

"Elder Sister, is she doing well?" Gu You glanced at the carriage parked not far away, and asked worriedly, "Did you suffer from the bumps?"

"The mountains are high and the road is far away, bumps are inevitable. You should take Eldest Sister back to the palace to rest, and send someone to Jinghua Temple to tell Master Hui Ning that Eldest Sister has returned safely."

"What about you? What are you going to do? Do you really want to go to prison?" Gu You glanced at the prison officials behind him again, and blinked at his wife Xu Jingrou behind him. Xu Jingrou understood and walked over with her sleeves in her hands.

Covering their bodies, the husband and wife took out a small bag of gold lockets from Xu Jingrou's sleeve and stuffed them into Gu Xiu's palm.

"His Royal Highness, I don't understand the rules in Beijing, but Suzhou's prisons are like this. Without these, I can't pass the test. This is the golden hairpin I let the mansion melt into yesterday. I can't find out the way. Dare to accept it. Your brother and I don’t know how to operate the following things, so you take these anyway, and exchange them for some delicious food and drink.”

Gu Xiu Ning held the small bag between his eyebrows, and raised his hand to salute the two: "Thank you, Brother Liuhuang..."

"Don't thank your ancestors. Didn't you see that the fourth child is still being poked there?" Gu You stopped Gu Xiu's arm, looked around, and patted the man's shoulder: "Go, don't wait." The officials are here."

In May, the weather turns hot.

In the Chongning Palace of King Gu Hong, there is still a curtain hanging from the wind.

In the past few days, King Gu Hong has been very angry, except for Mr. Nan Xi, no one dares to approach him.

"Deal with the King of War, deal with the King of War immediately. Eight out of ten of these memorials are for me to deal with the King of War immediately. Do you really want to see me kill my own son with my own hands?" Gu Hong buried himself behind the Long Shu case, He overturned the memorial in front of him to the ground.Then he leaned back on the chair behind him, rubbing his suddenly swollen temples.

Mr. Nan Xi didn't speak, he stood quietly behind the person and rubbed the forehead of the person until Gu Hong's face calmed down a little, then he came to the Long Shu'an and picked up the memorials that fell on the ground.

"Your Majesty, don't read these when you are angry."

"Look at these memorials. Eight out of ten are for me to deal with the King of War. This Han Ming is really getting more and more unconvinced. Do you want to force the palace with such overwhelming memorials?" Gu Hong sighed and shook his head. He also smashed the teacup in his hand to pieces.

"Your Majesty, according to my servant, these courtiers just want to say that they are dealt with according to the laws of the country. Isn't the law of the country all set by His Majesty? Now His Royal Highness is in prison, and you haven't tried it yet. They don't know that His Majesty What you mean, naturally I can only guess randomly." Nan Xi wrapped her arms around Gu Hong's neck tenderly from behind: "Actually, if His Majesty can't bear to directly interrogate His Royal Highness Zhanwang, you can also ask the people around him to ask. After reaching the conclusion, it won't hang like it is now."

Nan Xi fell behind Gu Hong, rubbing her cheek against his cheek, and said nothing more.

Gu Hong was silent for a long time, patted the back of Nan Xi's hand, and called out in a deep voice: "Cui Shang, is that Han Mochu still outside?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, Han Canjun has been kneeling outside the Xuanzheng Hall. Because His Majesty has no orders, he dared not enter the inner palace." Cui Shang stepped forward to report, dragging his whisk.

"How many days has he been kneeling?"

"It has been five days since His Royal Highness Zhan Wang entered the imperial prison." Cui Shang replied truthfully.

"Send him in."

A moment later, Han Mochu limped into the study of the king with the support of a young eunuch.At this time, Han Mochu was wearing a plain robe without a crown, and half of his temple hair was scattered behind his head, looking like he was waiting for a crime.The knees were already kneeling, and the trousers were already bright red.The originally handsome and gentle smiling face also looked pale and thin because of not drinking water for a long time.

Ever since Gu Xiu entered Beijing and was sent to the imperial prison, he has been kneeling outside the Xuanzheng Hall waiting for the order without sleep.Gu Hong seemed to intend to punish him, and he never summoned him for several days.

"Criminal Minister Han Mochu, see Your Majesty." Han Mochu knelt on his knees and leaned forward.The person is so thin that it looks like a beauty lamp, which will be broken when the wind blows.

Han Mochu's face was originally unparalleled, with an extraordinary bearing.Being down and out at the moment can make people feel a little pity for me out of thin air.

Although Gu Hong, the king of Suxi's masculinity, had a cold face, there was already a little turbulence deep in his heart.

Young Master Nan Xi in his arms was as weak as a trickle, moistening things silently.As for Han Mochu who was kneeling on the ground, he was as strong as a pine and bamboo, with a jade quality of brilliance, and a flair that taught people to imagine.

"You know it well, do you think it's over if you take off your official uniform and kneel in front of me for a few days?"

"Your Majesty, the guilty minister knows that he has committed a serious crime, so please dispose of him as you like. I just ask Your Majesty to forgive His Royal Highness Zhan Wang." Han Mochu bowed his head even lower, facing the king with an attitude of complete submission.

"Are you still ashamed to intercede for him?" Gu Hong took a look at him, and threw all the notebooks about Gu Xiu in his hand one by one towards Han Mochu who was kneeling on the spot: "Look carefully for yourself, these are all for you to let me know." I dealt with the King of War. I asked you to follow him, is that how you assisted him?"

Han Mochu leaned over and let the memorials fall on his head: "Your Majesty, everything is the fault of this minister. I did not persuade His Royal Highness Zhan Wang. I am willing to bear all the responsibilities. I only ask His Majesty to forgive His Royal Highness Zhan Wang. "

"You take it?" Gu Hong raised the corners of his mouth contemptuously: "Do you know that the 50 frontier soldiers who have been implicated by Zhan Wang's move have become victims of crimes? Do you take it? Can you take it?!" Gu Hong yelled sharply, and casually grabbed the brush on the table and smashed it on Han Mochu's back, causing Han Mochu to groan, almost grabbing the ground with his head.

"Your Majesty, I know that this matter is of great importance, but His Royal Highness King Zhan is really not such a ignorant person." Han Mochu bit his lower lip, reluctantly took out the handwritten letter that was crumpled up by Gu Xiu from his cuff, and turned towards him. Submitting it in front of the king: "Your Majesty, His Highness saw this that day, so he led the army to the expedition regardless of everything."

The old eunuch Cui Shang took the handwritten letter and presented it in front of the king.

The bloody handwriting was in his daughter's handwriting, and each word pierced into his heart like a sharp spine.According to the previous news, it was just that Gu Jin was humiliated in Monan and resulted in a miscarriage.He didn't expect that his daughter would live and endure in Monan for two years because she couldn't stand the war.

If this handwritten letter had been passed to him that night, he might have mobilized all the troops of the imperial court to raze the entire Mengshi area to the ground, and then chopped that Ari Silan into meat paste with his own hands.

Dare to torture his daughter to this point, this is no longer a matter of embarrassing Guochao, maybe a few days later Gu Jin may die.

No wonder, that kid Gu Xiu led his troops to the expedition so recklessly.

"Your Majesty, the soldiers of the frontier army saw this handwritten letter before they could bear their righteous indignation. They all wanted to vindicate the princess, so they went to Monan with His Royal Highness Zhan Wang. His Highness Zhan Wang really has no disobedience." Han Mochu's voice trembled , took a few steps and knelt in front of Gu Hong: "Your Majesty, I beg you to forgive His Royal Highness Zhanwang, and forgive those frontier soldiers."

"That's enough, you don't need to say anything, go back to your residence." Gu Hongjiang dragged his handwriting and didn't look at Han Mochu again.

"Your Majesty! I beg you! Your Majesty! I beg you!"

"Cui Shang, ask someone to drag him out!"

Gu Hong ordered in a cold voice, allowing the two young eunuchs to drag Han Mochu who was kneeling on the hall down.

Gu Hong really couldn't look at Han Mochu any longer, he was afraid that if he continued to look at Han Mochu, he would really have to keep Han Mochu to sleep with him, just to vent his anger.
