A thousand years

Slowly raised his head, stared at Gu Huai closely, his eyes sparkled with admiration and fanaticism, "I'm waiting for you, Your Majesty."

Gu Huai waved his sleeves and shook his head, without even looking at this person.

"Needless to say, my heart will never change in any way."

Huo Qingyu looked straight into Gu Huai's eyes and shook his head, "I am kneeling here today, not to beg Your Majesty to change his mind."

Raising his eyebrows, Gu Huai's eyes suddenly showed a bit of scrutiny, looked at Huo Qingyu, and said lightly: "Then what do you want to do?"

"This minister wants to help His Majesty, and wants to relieve His Majesty's worries." Huo Qingyu's voice was loud, and in the dim palace, he paused every word with extreme clarity, "I hope to gain His Majesty's trust."

"Help Your Majesty... Turn your hands over to reverse your destiny, and turn your hands back to restore the universe."

Gu Huai laughed, lowered his head, and pierced Huo Qingyu's eyes as sharp as a falcon's.

Looking at Gu Huai, what flashed through Huo Qingyu's eyes was the worship, infatuation, and fanaticism that he had been obsessed with for nearly 20 years. He clenched his fists and knelt on the ground, "Do you still remember, your majesty, for the sake of the Seventh Prince? When Nanshan was hunting, did you agree to a condition?"

Gu Huai frowned, and the fragments of memories flashed quickly. It is true that Huo Qingyu got the Xuan Bing and returned it to Gu Ruofan, so Gu Huai had indeed said that if Huo Qingyu asked for something in the future, he would Gu Huai must agree to this condition, and it will be valid forever in his lifetime.

"So, are you going to use up this condition now?"

Huo Qingyu nodded deeply, met Gu Huai's gaze without backing down, and said loudly: "Your Majesty is about to go out tomorrow, and I hope that His Majesty can grant me all the trust that a prime minister should have."

"All trust?"

"That's right, I hope that Your Majesty can give me all the trust." Huo Qingyu lowered his head slightly, "Your Majesty and the Seventh Prince are men, but they love each other wholeheartedly. Your Majesty and the Seventh Prince are best friends, and your Majesty...is Loyal minister, therefore, minister is different from others."

Huo Qingyu stared deeply at Gu Huai, "I think that if you are in love, even if you are both men, you should be blessed and recognized by the world. It has nothing to do with ethics."

"Your Majesty knows that His Majesty has already handed over all the rights inside and outside the court to the Seventh Prince. Therefore, I am here today to help the Seventh Prince. During the time when His Majesty is away, the court will be completely controlled. The voice of opposition has been eliminated, I hope that I can relieve His Majesty's worries, and at the same time, I also hope that Your Majesty can truly become an emperor through the ages and be praised forever!"

Gu Huai looked at Huo Qingyu, his gaze suddenly became deep and deep.

Gu Huai was silent for a long time, Huo Qingyu did not back down, and met Gu Huai's scrutinizing gaze directly.

After a long time, Huo Qingyu finally heard Gu Huai sigh.

"Ruofan once said that if you are prime minister, you will definitely be able to assist me and achieve the prosperity of Southern Chu. Today, I will give you all my trust and do what you ask for." Gu Huai's half face was hidden in the darkness, No expression could be seen, but the black eyes were deep, but somehow softened a lot.

"It's hard to be relieved by many people, these things don't have to be forced." Gu Huai looked at Huo Qingyu, and said lightly: "Ruofan only has you as a friend, so if you can stay with him while I'm away By my side, helping him solve those things in the court, presumably with his temperament, he should feel a lot better."

Turning around to leave, Gu Huai paused slightly when he walked to the door.

"On my own, I can restore the universe and silence all opposing voices. As for you...you just need to stand by Ruofan's side and tell him that there is nothing wrong with a man falling in love. It doesn't matter, that's to share my worries and solve my problems."

The memories in my mind are interrupted.

Huo Qingyu held Xuan Bing, sat in front of the case, raised his head and laughed.

Tomorrow, His Majesty will return in triumph. Now that Gu Ruofan is dead, all the rumors about Gu Huai's stupidity and violating the rules have been completely cut off.

Gu Huai's gaze could finally be drawn away from Gu Ruofan's body, and he could take a look at himself.

I have lived for more than 20 years, and I have planned for five full years for today's event.

How could Huo Qingyu not like it?

----

Northern Qi Palace.

Dressed in hard armor, majestic and majestic, the young emperor sits on a horse, with millions of Southern Chu soldiers behind him, full of murderous aura, and his eyes are firm and indifferent, as if he was born to be like this, as if he ruled the world.

Boom!

Accompanied by the final bang, the gates of the Northern Qi Imperial City were completely opened.

"Long live Southern Chu, long live Emperor Huai!"

"Long live Southern Chu, long live Emperor Huai!"

"Long live Southern Chu, long live Emperor Huai!"

The soldiers who followed Gu Huai watched the Beiqi city gate being attacked by them. They were all in great formation with high morale, waving their weapons, and their roars pierced the sky.

"Into the city!"

A gleam flashed in Gu Huai's eyes, and he rode his horse to the front.The battle with Beiqi took two full months, during which Gu Huai was even hit by an arrow and his life was in danger, the morale of the army was in chaos.

Fortunately, he persevered in the end, defeated Northern Qi, and now broke through the imperial city.

Sitting on the horse, Gu Huai narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at the Northern Qi Palace, which was completely different from Southern Chu and full of exotic styles.For a hundred years, the relationship between Northern Qi and Southern Chu has always been at odds, and the border areas are even more turbulent. Although Southern Chu is stronger than Northern Qi, but because of the unique terrain here, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack. In Chu and Northern Qi, the situation is divided into different courts.

But now, the turbulent situation that has been divided among courts for a hundred years has been completely broken by this battle.

"Your Majesty, we found the Emperor of the Northern Qi Dynasty in secret passages in the palace!" A general in armor stood in front of Gu Huai with his hands clasped, behind him a man in a dragon robe who was about the same age as Gu Huai was captured by a soldier of Southern Chu. Pressed on the ground, forcing him to kneel in front of Gu Huai.

"When you see our Majesty Nanchu, how dare you not kneel?!" Kicking Northern Qi Emperor Qi Mu's leg, the general roared.

Struggling to straighten up and raise his head, he could clearly see Gu Huai's face hidden behind the armor.

With a sneer, "I have admired your name for a long time, you are the emperor of Nanchu who rejected Yanling for a man?" Qi Mu stared at Gu Huai, he couldn't believe it, in just a few months, it has always been easy to defend and difficult to attack. The Northern Qi Empire was completely broken by the man in front of him like this, and he, who was also the king of a country, had no power to fight back. He could only stay in the secret path and linger on his last breath, only wanting to save his life!

Why?

Gu Huai glanced across Qi Mu's face indifferently like a falcon, and he was no longer interested in saying a word. How can a subjugated king talk about his courage?

He got off his horse, passed Qi Mu, and walked towards the Northern Qi Palace.

"Your Majesty, Princess of Northern Qi...Qi Yanling, please see me!"

When Gu Huai was sitting in the position that symbolized the highest power in the Northern Qi Dynasty, soldiers in uniform came in again to report.

Hearing this, the man frowned slightly, hesitated for a moment, and finally waved his hand, motioning for Qi Yanling to come in.

When the army of Southern Chu just arrived at the border of Northern Qi, they were not acclimatized to the soil and water, causing more than [-]% of the soldiers to fall ill, vomiting and diarrhea, and the war was imminent. In such a situation, the morale of the army was unstable and the situation was critical.

And on the second day, Qi Yanling, the princess of the Northern Qi Dynasty, rode her horse to the Nanchu camp alone, just like today, begged to see her, and brought a prescription that could solve the soldiers' acclimatization.

Regarding Qi Yanling, Gu Huai's heart was complicated.

Sighing, when Gu Huai's thoughts were mixed, Qi Yanling walked in slowly under the strict guard of two people.

"You guys go out." He waved his hand, signaling the two guards guarding Qi Yanling to go out, Gu Huai's eyes shifted to Qi Yanling's face, "Why did you see me?"

Qi Yanling straightened her back and stood in front of Gu Huai. Even though her country was ruined and her family was destroyed, she still had to maintain her pride and dignity as a Northern Qi princess. At no time should she show any embarrassment.

"The last time I came to see you and sent you a prescription to treat your acclimatization was as a woman." Qi Yanling stared deeply at Gu Huai's face, "As a woman who simply likes you, so if you are in trouble, I will help you." .”

"This meeting, the current situation has completely changed. You have become the chief culprit for ruining our country, and I, this time, as the princess of Northern Qi, came to see His Majesty Nanchu."

"Princess Qi Yanling of the Northern Qi Dynasty, I beg Your Majesty to grant me my death."

Qi Yanling never regretted giving Gu Huai the prescription.Because she knew that even if she didn't give it, the man in front of her would eventually find a solution to the problem.It is precisely because of this that she gave it.

Now that the Northern Qi Dynasty is subjugated and Gu Huai has completely unified the two countries, as a subjugated princess, she will naturally not live alone.

Seek Gu Huai, let him give her death.It was because Qi Yanling wanted Gu Huai to remember her forever and ever, and remember that there was such a subjugated princess, even if she died, she would die with pride and dignity, and die in his hands.

Gu Huai frowned, staring at Qi Yanling, silent for a long time.

"No, you can leave now. I will send someone to escort you away. From now on, you will no longer be a princess of the Northern Qi Dynasty, but no one will threaten your life."

Gu Huai has always had a clear distinction between grievances and grievances. Although he is very clear that cutting weeds must be eradicated, Qi Yanling sent Qi Mu the coal in the snow. Now that the Northern Qi Dynasty is destroyed, Gu Huai will naturally keep her safe.

"Hahaha, no one will threaten my life again?" Qi Yanling raised her head and laughed, staring fixedly at Gu Huai, her face, which is so beautiful in the world, is distorted in pain at this moment, "I grew up The country is gone, you say I will keep me alive?"

"Gu Huai, that day I asked you, if I abandon my motherland, as long as I'm with you, do you want me?"

The woman's eyes were red, "You are merciless, and you refused me without even thinking about it. Now I just beg you to grant me my death, why don't you agree? Why?"

Seeing that Gu Huai was silent, Qi Yanling took a deep breath, stared deeply into Gu Huai's eyes, as if she wanted to look into the man's heart, "I know you are not going to kill the emperor brother, the victory or defeat of the national war, I just A little woman, I can't control that much. Let me ask you one last time."

Qi Yanling is like a drowning person at this moment, trying to grab the last straw.

"I'll give you a prescription. With such a great favor, I don't care if you love me or not, as long as you keep me by your side, should you agree?"

With a slight expression on his face, Gu Huai shook his head almost without any hesitation. The man's voice was low and hard like metal, "The place beside me is too small, there is only room for one person."

"Gu Huai, do you have a heart? Don't you even have a heart?"

Weeping blood, staring closely at Gu Huai, Qi Yanling smiled wryly.

"Send Princess Qi down, send someone to take care of her, and send her away some day."

Losing the desire to continue the conversation, Gu Huai waved his sleeves and turned around, took straight steps, and walked up to the luxurious and spacious position on the top of the steps, which symbolized the highest power in Northern Qi, and watched Qi Yanling's back being taken down gradually disappear from his sight middle.

Slightly closing his eyes, Gu Huai stretched out his hand to caress the wound on his chest that had already healed.

Does he have no heart?Sitting in the luxurious palace, the young emperor shook his head slowly.

He has a heart, how could he not have a heart.

The day before his enthronement, he took Gu Ruofan to the Southern Chu Imperial Mausoleum, knelt in front of Gu Yuan's tomb, and stabbed his sword into his chest here.

"Today, Gu repays with flesh and blood, the heroic soul who died unjustly in that battle seven years ago."

"Gu Huai is willing to bear all the sins."

"Gu Huai died every day, fell into the endless cycle of hell, and suffered the crime of being cut into pieces by thousands of knives, begging Lord Gu's forgiveness."

"It is said that the Son of Heaven is ruthless, but today,"

"To all the ancestors of Southern Chu, Gu Huai swears with his life and curses with his blood."

"In this life, I will never disappoint Gu Ruofan."

"In this life, Gu Huai will never fail Gu Ruofan."

The oath of that day is still vivid in my memory, but the wound that penetrated the flesh and blood that day has already healed.Gu Huai raised his hand and rubbed his temples, the pain was severe.

Occasionally, when he was alone, he often wondered when did he put Gu Ruofan in such an important position.

In the beginning, it was just because she heard that Princess Gu committed suicide by hanging herself. Gu Ruofan was only thirteen years old, but she watched that scene helplessly.How similar is it to myself back then?With this in mind, Gu Huai put Gu Ruofan by his side to take care of Gu Ruofan by making up for his own feelings back then, unwilling to let him suffer the slightest grievance.

But in the end, he really fell in love and fell in love. Even now, under the persecution of civil and military forces in the Manchu Dynasty, and the accusations from all over the world, Gu Huai has never wavered in his heart.

Qi Yanling's personality is indeed the only woman I have seen over the years that Gu Huai admires. She dares to love and hate, proud and intelligent.

If it wasn't for Gu Ruofan, maybe... maybe being with Qi Yanling, in exchange for a few years of temporary peace between the two countries, would be the best way to go.

But fate is such a thing, how can it be determined by the owner?Gu Huai slowly raised the corners of his lips, but he met Gu Ruofan when he was 15 years old. From then on, his heart could only accommodate him.

The position beside him was indeed too small.

It was so small that Gu Ruofan could only be allowed to stand side by side with him, and there was no room for a third person.

Gu Huai remembered very clearly that when Ning Wanyan committed suicide when she was five years old, she grabbed her hand and repeated the words over and over again.

Ah Huai, you promise mother that when you meet the person you love in the future, you must trust him, protect him, and don't let him be as sad as mother.

Gu Huai didn't understand before, he didn't understand why Ning Wanyan would rather die than to blame and resent Gu Hongwen, and he didn't understand, what is the so-called love that her mother insisted on dying and refused to let go.

But Gu Huai once swore that if one day he finds such a person, then he will give all the feelings in his life to this person, and even if the sky falls, he will not let this person suffer. A little bit wronged.

Fortunately, Gu Huai has now found such a person.

Even if he is a man, even if it is against the world, he will never regret it.

Take care of everything, and tomorrow, I can finally end everything here and set off triumphantly.

The Northern Qi surrendered, and now there is no one or anything that can get in between the two of them, and there is nothing that can become an obstacle for them.

The corners of the man's lips curled up slowly. The young emperor was sitting alone in the tent at the moment, his eyes were full of tender thoughts that no one had ever seen before.

Ruofan, when I go back, can I take you to see the peach blossoms in southern Xinjiang?
