After the general fell ill

People, the world is united - no more obstacles.

Now, he could finally meet the talent he had been longing for for a long time.

"Your Majesty, the General and General Su are here to see you!"

Xiao Zhuo turned around and saw Gu Yan and Su Ce entering side by side.

The two bowed together and said: "The minister bows to His Majesty, and respectfully wishes His Majesty peace."

"I bow to you." Xiao Zhuo handed the candle to the personal eunuch, walked to the desk, and motioned: "Give me a seat."

"General Su, how's the condition?" Xiao Zhuo looked at Su Ce's pale face. Although he had learned about Su Ce's illness from Xue Yuanshi and Gu Yan, he didn't want to see the improvement, but there was really no improvement. If Su Ce went to the battlefield with a sick body, I'm afraid - there will be no return.

"Returning to Your Majesty, the minister's illness seems to be recurring recently, but Xue Yuan's medical skills are superb, and he has controlled it." Su Ce said euphemistically.

Xiao Zhuo nodded and said: "Ai Qing still needs to take good care of her body." Then he pointed to the map of the world hanging behind him, "Udi was cut off from Liaodong and Northwest successively by us, and the tribe was also dispersed by the impact. Withdrawing far into the vastness, this is an excellent opportunity for a decisive battle."

This excellence, in Xiao Zhuo's eyes, is naturally a comparison of the various capabilities of the two countries. Compared with the continuous natural disasters that continued the Jin Dynasty during the first emperor's period, the past three years can be said to be smooth and rainy, with abundant crops, and the treasury can provide enough money for two , Sufficient soldiers and horses, food and grass are available.

Now there are two more capable generals, if there is no fight at this time, it will be better to wait.

Su Ce stared at this map of the world, the scope outlined in the map had already surpassed the Jin Dynasty, but Xiao Zhuo still wanted to go further, which coincided with him and Gu Yan.

Xiao Zhuo brought up a topic as an introduction, and the three of them quickly discussed about next year's spring and summer expedition. After confirming that the luggage would be settled by manpower, Xiao Zhuo decided to set the expedition date for next spring.

It is really the luckiest thing to meet a bright master who can realize his ambition.

During the conversation with Xiao Zhuo, Su Ce discovered that compared to Liang Mao, who was born in a reckless and outspoken manner, Xiao Zhuo's emotions and anger are not displayed, making it difficult for others to figure out his true thoughts.

But the two had been hostile for a long time, so Su Ce was quite familiar with him. The more in-depth communication, Su Ce found that Xiao Zhuo would sometimes generously reveal his feelings, just like now, the emperor has just finalized a plan. A major event, in a good mood, asked.

"I wonder when the two generals plan to get married?"

"Meeting Aiqing today is like returning from an old friend."

Outside the Zichen Palace, the autumn wind was bleak, and the emperor's voice fell to the ground along with the falling leaves.

The young personal eunuch was astonished, and couldn't help but quietly raised his eyes to glance at the two generals sitting in the hall.

marriage?General and Su Ce?Where does this go, why did the general suddenly become a broken sleeve?The little eunuch turned his attention to Liang Rang, the chief eunuch.

Liang Rang, who was holding a dust whisk in his hand, lowered his eyebrows and closed his eyes, his expression was calm, the little eunuch had no choice but to look away regretfully, wondering how the two generals would respond.

Su Ce's eyes were calm, and he had been waiting for Xiao Zhuo's question for a long time. He stood up, bowed and said, "Your minister and Ting Yuan are in love with each other. Now that the border troubles are not over, and the battle against Udi is imminent, I and Ting Yuan have decided to postpone the marriage." .”

Xiao Zhuo raised his eyebrows and glanced at Gu Yan. The latter got up understandingly, stood beside Su Ce, and replied, "Your Majesty, what An Lan said is exactly what I said from the bottom of my heart."

"What the general said was beyond my expectation." Xiao Zhuo glanced deeply at the faces of the two of them one by one. The love is as strong as he and Empress Liu. When they were young, they had been looking forward to the day when their marriage contract would be fulfilled.

Su Ce and Gu Yan's deep relationship does not seem to be fake. Thinking of Gu Yan's rush to Chang'an just to save Su Ce, Xiao Zhuo asked tentatively: "Ai Qing is not in a hurry? You have been separated for a long time. Bar."

Gu Yan said calmly: "Your Majesty, I and An Lan had met several times in Zhuoguang County seven years ago. After that, we were separated for several years. We were able to reunite thanks to Your Majesty's kindness. Now that the war on the border has not stopped, I am not in a hurry to get married or not." For a while."

Su Ce followed closely and said briefly: "The battle against Udi is far more important than the marriage between the two ministers."

Xiao Zhuo was slightly taken aback, as if he had re-acquainted with these two people, Su Ce and Gu Yan's answers were completely opposite to what he thought.

He has been with Gu Yan for many years, so he naturally understands Gu Yan's behavior very well. He gave Gu Yan the opportunity to make contributions, and Gu Yan was able to seize it without hesitation and present him with a beautiful answer sheet.

Today he personally asked Gu Yan about "marrying a family", unexpectedly he was so calm.

Su Ce and Gu Yan looked calmly and looked directly at the pondering emperor.

"Okay!" Xiao Zhuo suddenly clapped his hands and laughed, stood up, walked around the table and walked in front of the two, admiring, "I can't match the general's strength."

Before Su Ce and Gu Yan could answer, a familiar voice came from outside the hall.

"I greet Your Majesty." A dark red figure stepped into the hall, causing Su Ce and Gu Yan to look sideways.

Xiao Zhuo: "See Wei, sit down."

It turned out to be Chen Su. He left Ling'an Temple yesterday and was specifically told by His Majesty to have an audience today, and there is no need to pass it on.

Chen Su saw that the three of them including Xiao Zhuo were standing in the hall, and turned around to greet Su Ce and Gu Yan.

"Sit down." Seeing that the prime minister he was waiting for today finally arrived late, Xiao Zhuo turned around and walked back to the throne.

"The prince is about to be seven years old. It's time to start studying. I wanted to continue to ask Mr. Zhou to teach the prince, but the old man is obsessed with orchards and he is old, so I want some loves to be the prince's teachers together. "

Xiao Zhuo paused for a moment, then continued: "I know that I have met Wang Gongcheng, but I wonder what your lovers would like?"

Compared to Chen Su's immediate response, Su Ce and Gu Yan looked at each other, and read the word "helpless" from the eyes of both of them. The mission is heavy and the military affairs are busy, so His Majesty should just let them hang their names.

Sure enough, Xiao Zhuo appointed Chen Su as the Prince's Taifu, Su Ce and Gu Yan as the Prince's Young Master and Prince's Shaofu respectively.At the same time, Su Ce's title of Marquis of Gu'an during the Yan Kingdom was retained.

After the three of them left Zichen Palace, they went to Guanju Palace under the leadership of Liang Rang.

After Xiao Zhuo ascended the throne, he registered the empress and the prince at the same time, and renamed the palace of Empress Liu as Guanju Palace, to show the deep love between the emperor and empress.

As the prince was young, he lived with the queen for the time being, and moved to the East Palace after he got the crown.

After being notified by the female officer next to the queen, the three of them stepped over the threshold and greeted the queen who had just walked from the inner room.

Xiao Zhuo didn't shy away from Empress Liu regarding the affairs between the government and the public. Although Gu Yan was not often in Chang'an and saw Empress Liu very rarely, Chen Su was a frequent visitor.

"My lords don't need to be too courteous, just give me your seat." Empress Liu's voice was restrained and stable, and one could tell that her temperament must be dignified and graceful after hearing her voice.

It was the first time that Su Ce met Her Royal Highness, who was said to be from the Liu family of Yuzhou with her mother. Although the two came from different branches of the Liu family, they could still see the family tradition that belonged exclusively to the Liu family of Yuzhou.

Empress Liu was dressed in a ginger-yellow brocade robe with dark peony patterns, a gold hairpin and a gold grate inlaid with gemstones on her head, and her words and deeds were calm and calm.After chatting a few words, it is not difficult to find that Empress Liu is generous and approachable.

There are many similarities with his mother.

After exchanging pleasantries, Empress Liu told the female officer beside her, "Go and ask His Royal Highness to meet his teacher."

After a while, a child with a cute appearance walked into the hall. Although several adults he didn't recognize appeared in the room, the child didn't look sideways. Please."

"Yao'er, this is Chen Su and Prime Minister Chen. You met him at the banquet." Empress Liu took Xiao Yuanyao's little hand and introduced him to the future teachers one by one. She said softly, "This is General Gu Yangu. Speaking of which, he hugged you when you were a child."

Xiao Yuanyao looked at Gu Yan curiously, as if he was trying to dig out the figure of this person from the depths of his memory. After thinking hard and contemplating to no avail, he only heard Empress Liu continue: "This is General Su Ce, and Wang Fang, Prime Minister, you I met you in Zichen Palace that day, and these four will be your teachers from now on."

Empress Liu patted Xiao Yuanyao's narrow shoulders lightly. Xiao Yuanyao nodded obediently, took two steps forward, and performed a standard kneeling salute to Su Ce and the others.

"Student Xiao Yuanyao has met three teachers."

"His Royal Highness, please get up quickly." Chen Su hurriedly supported Xiao Yuanyao, Empress Liu smiled gratifiedly, and said softly: "Then the prince will ask some adults."

"The ministers must do their best."

Several people chatted a few more words about the prince's studies. After Chen Su led Xiao Yuanyao to leave, Empress Liu said briskly to Gu Yan: "Ting Yuan, I heard that you are getting married?"

Seeing that Empress Liu was more curious than Xiao Zhuo, Gu Yan repeated the conversation with Xiao Zhuo just now in Zichen Palace.

"No wonder you rejected Sile." Empress Liu raised her eyebrows, then turned her gaze to Su Ce.

The young general was still thin and pale even though he was wrapped in moon-white clothes. Although he had been ill for a long time, his handsome face was not damaged.

When Empress Liu was still the Crown Princess, she had heard about the heroic deeds of the rustling Yan Guosu General in red who assisted Liang Yan in repelling the former emperor, imperial Udi in the north, and drinking horses in the Yangtze River. A tall general who is as brave as Gu Yan, but he didn't expect to be such a character.

"A bosom friend is reunited, and you will be safe and sound. There is no better luck in life than this." Empress Liu sighed softly, her eyes lingering between Gu Yan and Su Ce, and then she looked at Su Ce's eyebrows and eyes carefully, and was taken aback for a moment, even her voice raised a bit.

"I heard that Lingtang also came from the Liu family in Yuzhou. I wonder if General Su has ever met his grandfather?" Empress Liu said, staring at Su Ce with burning eyes.

Su Ce was startled when he heard the words, and after thinking for a while, he shook his head and said, "No."

His mother Liu died of illness when he was young
