(Cat flutter Chinese) Chapter 31 Expedition

The sky is clear, and a small amount of smoke rises into the sky, as if to convey people's prayers to the heavens!

The emperor was wearing a dark crown robe, a heavy crown, and he could hardly see the emperor's appearance clearly, he held incense and candles in his hand, and saluted solemnly.

Immediately behind the emperor was Lin Su, who was dressed in a purple crown robe, and the dark gold embroidery thread outlined the luxurious fine lines, which looked very noble, but his face was expressionless and his expression was very solemn.

Behind Lin Su were the great prince and those civil and military officials, who knelt down behind Lin Su and watched His Majesty the Emperor and Lin Su worship the heavens at the Temple of Heaven.

The eldest prince knelt on the ground honestly, but the afterglow inadvertently swept over Lin Su's back.

Obviously, they are all the children of their fathers, why can some people accept everyone's worship here with their fathers, while some people can only kneel on the ground and look up at their posture?

So why can't you become the Kunpeng who carries the blue sky and soars to 90,000 miles?

But in this muddy water, in this drying up tidal flat, watching the water dry up little by little, watching yourself die step by step?

The eldest prince lowered his head, and a smile hooked up at the corner of his mouth, as if he knew some philosophy of life, and as if he had let go of some defense, the whole person looked a little angry, and the twilight prince before was like two people.

Lin Su naturally didn't know what the eldest prince was thinking, even if he knew, he would probably not care, after all, for Lin Su, the eldest prince had never been in his eyes, if it weren't for the later Song family, he would probably forget that this person existed.

However, Shen Shoufu was also like the eldest prince, and inadvertently, he looked at Lin Su with his eyes.

Although he knew that His Majesty was optimistic about the prince and doted on the prince, Shen Shoufu did not expect that His Majesty would love the prince so much. Thinking of his handwritten holy decree, a big seal has been added, and every stroke on it is written by himself, and even Shen Shoufu still clearly remembers the content inside.

It is the decree that the eunuch can read out on the spot if he takes it out directly, Shen Shoufu sighed lightly, and glanced at the eldest prince who was not far from him.

Seeing the corners of the eldest prince's lips slightly curled, he seemed to think of something interesting. sighed in his heart, even if some people make thousands of calculations and plans, it should not be their own, and it is not their own after all.

Who would have thought that His Majesty had already written the edict of succession? Who would have thought that His Majesty would think of retiring before he reached the age of obedience? Power is a good thing, and those who have tasted it are rarely addicted.

As the most powerful person in the Great Zhou, who would have thought that His Majesty would retreat in a hurry when he was in the prime of life?

Although he was thinking about these questions in his heart, the expression on Shen Shoufu's face did not change at all, and even his crown and uniform did not mess up in the slightest. The ceremony of sacrificing to the heavens was held step by step, looking at Lin Su standing on the high platform, Shen Shoufu still sighed a little.

After all, he watched the little prince grow up little by little, when Lin Su was young, Shen Shoufu even gave him a lecture, and he was also a bit of a master and apprentice

It's just that Shen Shoufu didn't dare to approach Lin Su easily in the past, after all, Lin Su was just a prince at that time, His Majesty was still there after all, and his boss was still there, so he went directly to curry favor with the next heir, didn't he want to do it?

Except for those officials with relatively low official positions, or officials with relatively weak power, the rest, like Shen Shoufu and Dingguo Gong, which one has been close to which prince?

It's an intersection, and it's impossible to find fault with it, let alone who any of them turn to. Although the icing on the cake is naturally not as good as sending charcoal in the snow, if you press the wrong treasure, it will be a century-old family, a thousand-year-old inheritance, and subversion will be in an instant.

Shen Shoufu'an quietly watched the completion of the sacrifice, and saw the handsome flag raised, and when he saw this flag again, he must have to call His Royal Highness the Crown Prince His Majesty.

The generals strode by, rolling up a puff of black smoke and dust, and the blades that shone with cold light seemed to pierce everything in the light of the sun.

The sacrifice was completed, and the emperor personally sent Lin Su away, but the eldest prince was left behind. Standing on the tower of the city gate, watching the winding army, stretched out like a long dragon, with a sharp aura, like a sharp sword that wants to split the whole earth.

Until twilight is approaching, the sunset on the horizon is like fire, reflecting the glow on the human face.

"Your Majesty......" The prince stood behind the emperor and called softly.

The emperor waved his hand, and the rest of the prince's words were not spoken.

"Go back!" the emperor took one last look, hoping that my son would bring him a satisfactory answer when he returned.

As the days passed, the capital was very quiet, but it was just an urgent report from the frontier, which would appear on His Majesty's desk every few days. The emperor was worried, not only wanted to let Lin Su establish prestige among the military attachés through this matter, so as to better control the military attachés and nobles, but also worried about what Lin Su had suffered during the Northern Expedition.

It's just that this thought is not easy to tell others, so I can only speculate a few points by this urgent report.

Time was like an arrow, the sun and the moon were like a shuttle, and soon, they reached the border.

When Dingguo Gong led the army to come, the guards had already received the news, and Dingguo Gong did not mean to hide his whereabouts, after all, he led an army of 200,000, this movement, unless it was a god, otherwise it was impossible for no one to know the movement along the way.

What's more, the defender of this city is Gu Lang, the second son of Dingguo.

Gu Lang stiffened his face, looking like he was not close to anyone, but even so, there were many people around him. After all, he is the second son of Dingguo Gong and the son of the general of the Northern Expedition.

Those who want to make a military merit, purely like those who want to directly tie up the Guogong Mansion, and people with all kinds of different purposes, all surround Gu Lang, even if Gu Lang's face is not good, but the people around him are still surrounded by three layers on the left and three layers on the right, which makes Gu Lang a little irritable.

It's just that there are too many people around, most of them are still his top bosses, and Gu Lang can't say anything, so he can only wait for the arrival of that person according to the impatience in his heart!

It's just a pity that the person Gu Lang expected didn't come.

"Why, you look disappointed! Can't you even pretend to be a person!"

Gu Lang didn't speak, anyway, he said a lot and made a lot of mistakes, so it was better not to say it......

Seeing Gu Lang's head drooping, with a dead face at your disposal, Dingguo was angry and didn't come out!

"What! Are you reasonable? Who is this looking for?" Ding Guogong raised his voice, Ding Guogong's voice has always been very loud, as soon as he said this, even the generals guarding the door outside the door, the exhalation voice was lowered, for fear that his voice would be a little louder and make Ding Guogong unhappy.

Gu Lang gritted his teeth, still raised his head, and his tone was a little cautious, "Your Highness, he ......"

Before Gu Lang's words could be spoken, he was interrupted by Dingguo Gong, "Is Your Highness's whereabouts something you should ask?"

Seeing Gu Lang lower his head again, looking dejected and lost, Ding Guogong felt a little distressed again. Although he usually thinks more about his eldest son, after all, the eldest son's qualifications are really not good, but the palms and backs of his hands are full of meat, and Dingguo Gong is also distressed about Gu Lang, but instead of letting Gu Lang grow up under his wings, it is better to give him a broad sky, so that he can roam in the sky freely.

"Ahem, His Highness is in charge of grain and grass, and he is still on the road behind," Ding Guogong's voice was a little embarrassed.

"Yes, then when will His Royal Highness the Crown Prince be here, and is there a specific date? Where is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince now? I can calculate the time and prepare to greet His Royal Highness the Prince!" Gu Lang raised his head, his eyes shining at Dingguo Gong, like a young bird eager for food, hoping that Dingguo Gong could give him more information!

Ding Guogong's face was expressionless, and he directly stretched out his hand to give Gu Lang a crutch.

"What do you think Your Majesty is doing this Northern Expedition?"

Knowing that he couldn't ask more about His Royal Highness the Crown Prince from the mouth of Dingguo Gong, Gu Lang also stopped thinking about it, after all, his father, he still understands, his mouth is stricter than the stone wall, and it is very difficult to chisel a crack.

"Your Majesty wants to reuse the military attache honorable ......" Knowing that it was impossible to get more things about Lin Su, Gu Lang returned to his original appearance.

Ding Guogong rolled his eyes at Gu Lang, "Don't talk about what everyone knows!"

Gu Lang's voice was still the kind of tone that didn't change, "Of course, it's because of the need for balance!"

Since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, it has begun to emphasize literature and light military force, after all, the scholar rebellion has not been successful for ten years, and the generals will almost as long as the money and food are sufficient, and they can raise the flag to rebel when they ascend to the heights. Therefore, Dingguo Gong also understands the reason why the imperial court attaches importance to literature and light on military force, after all, Ding Guogong himself can swear that he will never rebel, but he can be sure that others will not?

"It's just that the power of the court's ministers is really too big now, but it's a little unbalanced!"

Ding Guogong looked at Gu Lang, "So do you know what you should do next?"

"Wait for His Highness to come?"

Smack, Ding Guogong dropped the cup in his hand, he couldn't live this day!
