After the cannon fodder fell into my arms

two,

Wang Chengying whispered to Gu Siyuan: "General, please, Your Majesty is waiting for you!"

Gu Siyuan calmed down slightly: "I'm sorry for the trouble, Mr. Wang."

Wang Chengying was the great eunuch next to Emperor Jianzhao, in charge of the ceremonial supervisor and the entire inner palace, and was trusted by the emperor.

Even if the original body is called Yan Luo with a cold face, he needs to be polite to this person.

Under the leadership of Wang Chengying, when Gu Siyuan entered the tent of the Chinese army, there were already several figures sitting inside. Apart from Emperor Jianzhao sitting at the top, there were various princes and courtiers below.

Emperor Jianzhao is now over 50 years old, and his figure is slightly fat, but it can be seen that he had a good foundation when he was young.

When he glanced at Gu Siyuan, his eyes were so deep that it was frightening.

However, in view of the character of the original body, of course Gu Siyuan could not react to this, and directly saluted with a cold face: "Gu Xun has seen His Majesty."

Emperor Jianzhao closed his eyes slightly, showed a kind smile on his face, raised his hand and said, "Siyuan, sit down, you have made a great contribution today and saved Xuan'er, I want to reward you well."

Hearing this, Xie Xuan, who was sitting on the lower right head of Emperor Jianzhao, also bowed his hands to Gu Siyuan again: "Thank you, General Gu."

Gu Siyuan glanced at Xie Xuan expressionlessly, but then ignored him, and just cupped his hands at Emperor Jianzhao: "Gu Xun thanked the emperor."

After saying this, he turned around and sat down at the lowest position on the left.

As if Xie Xuan was some kind of virus, he wished to be far away from him.

Seeing Gu Siyuan's impolite appearance, the smile in Emperor Jianzhao's eyes deepened.

However, he still reprimanded lightly: "Gu Xun, what kind of dog temper are you, Xuan'er is talking to you."

Hearing this affectionate tone, and comparing with the deep eyes when he first came in, Gu Siyuan only felt that Emperor Jianzhao should not be emperor, but should go on stage to act.

However, since the Son of Heaven spoke, he naturally couldn't pretend he didn't hear it.

He slowly raised his head to look at Xie Xuan, and replied with a cold expression: "Sixth prince, you are welcome. I am in charge of guarding the ceremony today. This is my duty."

"..." Xie Xuan pursed his lips and silently rolled his eyes.

Well, you better stay like this.

For some reason, it was obvious that Gu Siyuan's attitude towards him was not very good all the time, and he didn't care about it, but today he felt a little bit ashamed and annoyed for no reason.

Could it be because Gu Siyuan hugged him on the altar before, what happened to the hug? ?

Hmph, isn't this big bastard just a little bit stronger and his chest is a little harder? What's the big deal.

Hearing this, the eldest prince Xie Hong who was present hurriedly laughed, and praised: "General Gu Lang is young, dedicated to his duties, and has extraordinary abilities."

The second prince, Xie Kuan, praised Gu Siyuan a few words, not to be outdone.

Although Gu Siyuan is only a fourth-rank general in the Imperial Forest Army, his position is very critical because he is in charge of the safety of His Majesty and the palace.

And his identity is somewhat special, Gu Siyuan's father was once the baby brother of Emperor Jianzhao, and he blocked an arrow for Emperor Jianzhao during the chaos of seizing the heir to the palace more than ten years ago.

Gu Siyuan himself is jealous, upright and ruthless. He never associates with any prince or courtier, and does not give anyone face. Only Emperor Jianzhao obeys his orders. As time goes by, Emperor Jianzhao naturally trusts him more and more.

However, what happened this morning still made Emperor Jianzhao a bit suspicious.

The fourth prince Xie Huan has been secretly looking at Gu Siyuan.

Three months ago, a great victory came from the southeast coast.

This is the biggest victory against Japanese pirates since Emperor Jianzhao came to the throne.

Under the advice of all the officials, it was decided to build an altar in Qing County on the outskirts of Beijing. Today, the Holy Majesty went to pray in person, not only to celebrate the great victory, to boost morale, but also to commemorate the tens of thousands of Liang soldiers and people who were slaughtered by Japanese pirates over the years.

Ten days ago, the altar was completed.

The Ministry of Rites and Qintian Supervisor calculated the auspicious day, and it was supposed to be this morning, when Emperor Jianzhao led the princes and all the civil and military officials to hold a sacrificial ceremony.

However, early in the morning, Emperor Jianzhao suddenly reported that he was unwell, and the person offering sacrifices became the sixth prince Xie Xuan.

At that time, all the officials were still seeing each other face to face, feeling that the sky was about to change.

Since ancient times, the only one who can replace His Majesty to worship the heavens is the future Crown Prince. Your Majesty is so fond of the Sixth Prince, that he made up his mind to make the Sixth Prince the Crown Prince.

Of course, Emperor Jianzhao made this decision temporarily, not to rectify Xie Xuan's name, but to hit him.

In recent years, Emperor Jianzhao may have concealed it very well. In addition, Xie Xuan himself has some ability. One side leans on.

Especially recently, the only daughter of Yu Zhiyao, governor of Zhejiang Province, fell in love with Xie Xuan at first sight. Yu Zhiyao had always doted on her daughter, and later, when discussing rewards for meritorious deeds, he planned to ask Emperor Jianzhao for a marriage.

It is a great honor for a courtier to ask the Holy One to marry a prince, and not everyone is qualified.

But Yu Zhiyao was no one else, he was the coach who beat the Japanese pirates to pieces and facilitated the coastal victory, and the Yu family army under his helmet was even more prestigious.

If such a powerful and prestigious military official becomes Xie Xuan's father-in-law, wouldn't it be a huge weight for him to win the heir in the future.

All of a sudden, the hero of this world, the fourth prince Xie Huan, had the idea of ​​destroying it.

In fact, it is most convenient for Emperor Jianzhao to refuse directly, but on the surface, Emperor Jianzhao has always been very fond of Xie Xuan. If his attitude is too tough, it will make Xie Xuan suspicious.

Therefore, it is best for Yu Zhiyao to give up this idea on his own initiative.

So, after discussing with the heroine Jiang Yuanxuan, Xie Huan came up with a good idea.

That is to use this sacrifice.

In addition to celebrating the victory, this sacrifice is mainly to worship the soldiers and common people who died at the hands of Japanese pirates along the coast.

If it's Xie Xuan's turn to offer sacrifices, the altar suddenly collapses unexpectedly, and the theory of gods and ghosts is added to fuel the flames. Based on the reputation of Concubine Lu Guifei in the imperial court and the people's beauty, I believe that not only Yu Zhiyao dare not marry Xie Xuan again, but also Xie Xuan The reputation of being immoral and being warned by the heavens will also spread more and more. What qualifications do such people have to fight for reserves?

And in the original story line, things did develop like this.

Since then, Xie Xuanfeng's comments have plummeted.

Under pressure from the outside world, Yu Zhiyao gave up on getting married.

But later on, the heroine Jiang Xianxuan was a timely help, and married into the Sixth Prince's Mansion without the slightest bit of disdain.

Because of this, Xie Xuan felt even more grateful and affectionate towards Jiang Xianxian, and he was betrayed more and more after that.

But now, this well-arranged matter was ruined by Gu Siyuan, who pointed out in public that the collapse of the altar was man-made, and even captured the assassin alive.

This time, not only did Xie Xuan remain unharmed, but it might even arouse Xie Xuan's suspicion.

How did things become like this, how could things be so coincidental?

However, Gu Siyuan has always been at odds with Xie Xuan.

He even said in public that Concubine Lu Gui's beauty is a disaster, and His Majesty has too much trust in the sixth prince. Sooner or later, he will arrest those who rely on nepotism in the Lu family to punish him.

Emperor Jianzhao cast his deep gaze on Gu Siyuan again, as if he wanted to see him thoroughly.

However, before he could ask anything, Gu Siyuan stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to say."

Emperor Jianzhao immediately squinted his eyes. Could it be that those trash who were caught said something that shouldn't be said?

Do those trash want to be punished by the Nine Clans?

After a while, he continued in a cold voice: "It's about the assassin in the morning? Is there any clue?"

Gu Siyuan nodded.

Seeing his affirmation, Emperor Jianzhao's gaze became even colder.

The majesty of the king is fully displayed.

Whether it was intentional or not, everyone in the account trembled slightly.

At this moment, a notification came from outside the account.

Later, a figure in an official robe walked in, and as soon as he came, he knelt down directly to Emperor Jianzhao, and cried out in pain: "Your Majesty..."

The sound dragged on for a long time, and it sounded miserable.

Emperor Jianzhao's complexion changed, and he frowned.

The person in front of him was Chen Hexi, Minister of Dali Temple. After hearing that Gu Siyuan had captured the assassin, he sent Chen Hexi to interrogate him.

"Chen Qing, please speak carefully, what's going on?"

Chen Hexi straightened up, pointed at Gu Siyuan, with an expression of not knowing what to say: "Gu Langjiang...Gu Langjiang...really..."

Emperor Jianzhao was too lazy to listen to him, so he asked Gu Siyuan directly: "Siyuan, what did you do?"

Gu Siyuan stood up, with a rare hint of helplessness on his stern face: "Just now I was about to report to His Majesty that these assassins were so bold as to assassinate Your Majesty, and a group of desperadoes were still very hard-spoken. His hands are a little heavier, Mr. Chen has never seen the world, so he is so frightened."

As he spoke, he gave Chen Hexi a very contemptuous look.

Chen Hexi: "..."

Am I scared?Am I so angry?

Also, is your hand heavier?

Chen Hexi knocked his head on the ground a few times, and said deeply to Emperor Jianzhao above: "Your Majesty, there is no way for me to investigate this case. According to General Gu Lang's methods, those assassins may not survive tonight. The minister can't ask anything."

Although Emperor Jianzhao didn't want those assassins to live, he was stunned for a moment after hearing this: "It's been less than an hour since I brought the assassins back to the camp, how could it be like this?"

Chen Hexi looked at Gu Siyuan and said angrily: "Although I have heard that General Gu Lang is ruthless and cruel, but how can I ask such a question? Those assassins were burned and scraped. They are almost gone, if these assassins were not captured by General Gu Lang himself, I would have suspected that he was killing people to silence them."

Emperor Jianzhao finally understood, and the doubts about Gu Siyuan in his heart disappeared completely.

He smiled lightly, sighed and said to Gu Siyuan: "Siyuan, you are a military commander. You might as well not interfere with the interrogation for the time being. I will leave it to Dali Temple and the Supervisor of Rituals."

Gu Siyuan dismissed Chen Hexi coldly, and reported to Emperor Jianzhao: "Zunzhi, I am not interested in these long-winded questions, only interested in arresting people and killing people."

Xie Xuan puffed his mouth: "..."

Sure enough, he is a big old man.

Emperor Jianzhao nodded, and said with a more benevolent expression: "Well, no matter what, your first contribution in this case is certain."

Gu Siyuan also simply cupped his hands: "The minister resigns."

After finishing speaking, he opened the curtain and went out without looking back, as if other people did not exist.

Qing County is close to the canal and is a rare place in the north with beautiful mountains and clear waters.

In the wide forest, flowers and leaves are flying, and sword shadows are flying.

Of course, the most charming among them is the slender figure holding the sword.

Xie Xuan hid behind the big tree, watching with relish.

"Shua..." A silver light flashed, and before Xie Xuan had time to react, the cold sword was placed directly on his fair and slender neck.
