Chapter 234: The Imperial Expedition

"General Gu didn't rebel! When General Gu died in Tianqing Town, he fell for Shuoyun's scheme and martyred himself! General Gu was not useless, but Shuoyun was too cunning. ”

"The Gu family has been loyal for generations, and they never wanted to be harmed by traitors, but they have borne the reputation of being a thief for so long, but fortunately, the sky has opened their eyes. ”

Under the emperor's edict, the streets and alleys were discussing this matter.

A black figure passed through the crowd, quietly appeared at the door of the Ling Mansion, and pushed the door to enter.

In the past, the prosperous Gu Mansion was hung with the plaque of the Ling Mansion, and it was prosperous for four years, but now it is back to cold and lonely. There was no one inside, the yard was overgrown with weeds, and a thick layer of ash had accumulated in the ancestral hall.

Gu Tianlan took off his hat, took a rag, and wiped the dust off the spirit card.

She rubbed carefully, from back to front, the last piece was her father's.

Gu Tianlan was like her father standing in front of her, her resolute face was full of smiles, and she looked at her lovingly.

"My daughter has come to see Daddy. ”

"Lan'er, long time no see. ”

"Li Yejin has already rehabilitated his father and uncles, and his father doesn't have to bear trumped-up charges. ”

The smile on his father's face did not change, but the wrinkles deepened: "Good boy." ”

Gu Tianlan said, and tears fell.

"As long as the daughter lives for one day, she will not let her father be wronged in the underworld. Gu Tianlan's eyes shone with a cold light, "Those who owe the Gu family and their daughters, their daughters will get it back little by little." Daddy just needs to watch. ”

The smile on my father's face finally faded and he became worried.

"Lan'er, my father only wants you to be happy and act arbitrarily, that is the father's daughter. ”

"Lan will have a good time. Gongsun Yi walked over, grabbed Gu Tianlan's hand, and pulled her to his side, and there was a close distance between the two.

Father's eyes shuttled between Gu Tianlan and Gongsun Yi, and then focused on Gongsun Yi's body. He has been fighting on the battlefield all year round, with killing power in his eyes, thick and deep, vicissitudes and penetrating, as if he can see through people's hearts.

The two looked at each other silently for a long time.

The father's figure faded and then vanished.

"I feel like I've seen Daddy. Gu Tianlan said stupidly.

At that moment, many images flashed through her mind. When she was a child, she rode on her father's shoulders to play horseback, and when she grew up, her father took her to ride a real horse, and she followed her master to practice martial arts, and her father's back standing at the bottom of the mountain was stretched by the sunset...... That scene flashed through her mind, as if it were yesterday.

My father suddenly grew old, his temples had gray hair, and the wrinkles on his face became deeper and deeper, and one day, he completely disappeared from her life.

Gu Tianlan's tears fell one by one. Gongsun Yi stood there, let her lean into his arms, hugged her back with one hand, and landed on her face with the other, wiping away the hot tears.

Gu Tianlan cried sadly, like a child, showing the rest of her childishness here.

Gongsun Yi felt extremely distressed, but he could only wipe her tears for her.

The two hugged each other quietly for a while at the ancestral hall, then left and returned to Di Xingyuan's camp.

As soon as Gu Tianlan entered the camp tent, he saw that everyone was busy, and he packed up his clothes and utensils, looking like he was ready to pull out of the camp.

Gu Tianlan walked into the main tent and saw Di Xingyuan sitting there, with an unconcealable smile on his rugged face.

"Your Majesty has rehabilitated the Gu family!" He excitedly wanted to grab Gu Tianlan's arm, but was blocked by Gongsun Yi, before he came back to his senses and quickly retracted his arm, "It's all the girl's credit, Di is grateful to the girl!"

He is a fierce general under the command of General Gu, the old general treats him like a parent, and he treats General Gu like a sister. He knew that the Gu family was wronged, but he had no choice but to plough the fields and stay away from those disputes and sins. Now, what he couldn't do has been realized.

"General Di is polite, I should thank you. Gu Tianlan said, glanced at the camp tent, and saw that the things inside had also been cleaned up, she asked, "What are General Di's plans?"

"Of course, I will return to Yecheng to report to Your Majesty. Before, I promised Your Majesty that as long as Your Majesty rehabilitates the Gu family, I will enter Beijing, and now I naturally have to keep my promise. Di Xing walked afar.

Gu Tianlan held his chin and pondered, but did not speak.

"But the girl thinks it's inappropriate?" Di Xingyuan looked at her appearance and couldn't help asking.

"What does General Di think of Ling Gongzi?" Gu Tianlan asked.

"Children are naughty...... But naΓ―ve. Speaking of his son, Di Xingyuan couldn't help but have a gentle smile on his face.

"Where's Mrs. Ling?"

"Country Rough Woman...... But virtuous and empathetic. Di Xingyuan's face was a little puzzled, and he didn't know why Gu Tianlan wanted to ask this.

"General Di has entered Beijing this time, I am afraid that he will not see his innocent son and understanding wife. Gu Tianlan said lightly.

Di Xingyuan's face couldn't help but change: "What does the girl mean that Your Majesty will kill me?" No, I just want to rehabilitate the Gu family, and I don't want to rebel." ”

"What you did was like putting a knife on Li Yejin's neck to force him to comply, do you think he can allow such a person to live?" Gu Tianlan said.

Di Xingyuan still didn't believe it: "I suppressed the rebel army, and I am the hero of Mochizuki, if Your Majesty kills me, it will make the people of the world cold." ”

Gu Tianlan smiled, as if he was laughing at his innocence: "Li Yejin doesn't have to kill you, you can also die violently by yourself." ”

In Di Xingyuan's concept, he is loyal and patriotic, although he has been dissatisfied and disappointed, but he has never thought of anything rebellious. At this time, the people in front of him picked up the truth, red

Naked in front of him, he couldn't help but shake.

Di Xingyuan thought about his wife and children, and couldn't help but look at Gu Tianlan: "Next, what should I do?"

Mochizuki Imperial Palace.

The palace is particularly lively. Wang Yangyu, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, was personally responsible for the relevant matters related to the return of Di Xingyuan.

The feast, the wine, the dancing girls, these are all ready. Just waiting for Di Xingyuan's victorious return.

The emperor also attached great importance to these matters, and personally came to inspect the arrangement of the banquet.

"Di Xingyuan likes to drink, and the wine is ready?" the emperor asked.

Wang Yangyu immediately said: "Twenty years of Jiuyu Spring Wine, the wine is very cracked, General Di will definitely like it." ”

The Emperor pondered for a moment: "There is still one thing missing. ”

Wang Yangyu asked, "What kind of wine does Your Majesty think General Di likes?"

The emperor suddenly approached Wang Yangyu and said in a low voice: "Add a little crane top red to the Jiuyu spring wine, the taste is more pure, and Di Xingyuan will like it even more." ”

Wang Yangyu hung his head: "The minister understands." ”

Wang Yangyu retreated, and when the door closed, he couldn't help but shudder. Di Xingyuan was majestic before, but now it is finally time to reckoning. Where is this dinner party to welcome his victorious return, it is simply a Hongmen banquet, which requires people's lives.

A smile finally appeared on the emperor's gloomy face.

He held his breath in his heart, and he could finally breathe out tonight.

Since Di Xingyuan was so loyal to the Gu family, he asked him to go to the underworld to be loyal to the Gu family.

According to the time of the camp, Di Xingyuan should have entered the city in the evening. The emperor himself went to the city gate to greet him.

It's just that when the sun sets, the last bit of light on the horizon disappears, and the sky is completely dark, and there is no trace of Di Xingyuan and the 20,000 army.

The more he waited, the more uneasy Li Yejin felt.

Li Yejin finally couldn't wait anymore and asked the people around him: "Why hasn't Di Xingyuan entered the city yet?"

The people around him: "My subordinates sent someone to investigate." ”

This exploration went to the moon and the middle of the sky.

"Your Majesty, the people sent by his subordinates have not seen any trace of General Di and his 20,000 troops along the way, and when they arrived at the place where General Di was encamped, they found that the camp tents were all empty. ”

Li Yejin has already gotten a glimpse of the facts from this report.

Di Xingyuan did not return to Beijing, but ran away with his army of 20,000.

He was placed by Di Xingyuan.

He announced to the world that he would rehabilitate the Gu family, but Di Xingyuan still ran away with an army of 20,000.

This means that he loses his face, loses the dignity of the emperor, and as a result, he gets nothing.

Li Yejin felt a fire burning in his heart, and he couldn't wait to break Di Xingyuan, who had deceived him, into pieces.

"Your Majesty, Di Xingyuan has rebelled. Wang Yangyu said.

Li Yejin's laughter was filled with infinite coldness: "He is really bold, when I catch him, I will put him to death." ”

"Di Xingyuan is far from keeping his word, and after deceiving His Majesty, he rebelled, and God does not tolerate it, His Majesty can tell the world and let the people of the world be punished. Wang Yangyu said.

"No, you can't. Li Ye shook his head.

"Your Majesty......"

"Daizhou Ge's rebellion, if the news of Di Xingyuan's reversal spreads, the people's hearts will be more unstable, and the world will be more chaotic. Externally, Di Xingyuan was sent by me to garrison the border. ”

"Di Xingyuan rebelled, but we have to hide it for him?" Wang Yangyu felt extremely aggrieved.

Li Yejin took a deep breath: "That's right. However, I will not allow Di Xing to go away. I will drive the royal expedition and crusade against the Ge clan of Daizhou. "It is said that it is Daizhou Ge's, including Di Xingyuan.

That night, Li Yejin put on iron armor and quickly gathered 20,000 troops, almost hollowing out the entire Yecheng, preparing to drive the expedition in person.

Zhao Li, the secretary of the Criminal Department, and Wang Yangyu, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, supervised the country, and the emperor quietly went out to fight.

Taking advantage of the night, the emperor's iron cavalry marched towards the gate of Yecheng.

As soon as he reached the city gate, he was blocked by a person.

At the gate stood a man, dressed in black, with a cloak, all wrapped in black, and his body was thin, as if the wind would blow away, but he was very steady.

Li Yejin rode forward a few steps.

The man who was standing slowly turned his head as well.

When he saw his face clearly, Li Yejin's expression changed slightly: "It's you!"

The man knelt down towards the Emperor.

"Your Majesty can't drive in person, once Your Majesty steps out of this Yecheng, the world will fall into the hands of Gu Tianlan. "That's human.

"Why do I believe you?" Li Yejin looked at him coldly. This person is Gu Tianqing's head, and Li Yejin does not have a good impression and trust in him.

"Gu Tianlan has placed many people around His Majesty. Among the people His Majesty relied on, one of them was Gu Tianlan's person. Ji Yingshao said unhurriedly.

Li Yejin's brows furrowed slightly: "Who?"

Ji Yingshao's thin lips spit out a name: "Zhao Li." ”
