The emperor got up and waved his hand, "Veteran, the army doesn't have to be humble, I appreciate Gu Aiqing a lot, so I can rest assured that the military power will be in his hands, but after many years, there is another thing that makes me very confused, and now I can't figure it out, I still don't know the answer, I hope that the veteran, the army can mention me."

"Veteran, Jun naturally knows that the emperor will not call him into the palace for no reason, presumably there are other things to do.

So he continued to say respectfully: "Weichen must know everything. ”

The Emperor's eyes were fixed on him, not sparing any subtle expression from him, but every word he said next was like a huge stone falling to the ground.

"I ask you, Gu Jinghuai, is it the son of me and Red Sleeves?" The old general kowtowed heavily to the emperor who was high above.

"Your Majesty, Jing Huai is the only bloodline of my Gu family, and it really has nothing to do with the royal family.

0" The emperor's expression is still very heavy, like the sun that is neither yin nor yang, obscure and inexplicable.

"Really?" The emperor is a very suspicious person, and he will definitely not easily believe the one-sided words of the old general.

His suspicions were not groundless, but groundless.

Red Sleeves is Gu Jinghuai's biological mother, a woman brought back from the border by Gu Jinghuai's father.

The woman was dressed in a crimson thin skirt, the flying skirt was like a butterfly wing, and her face was beautiful, although there were three thousand beauties in the harem, it was still less than one-ten-thousandth of the woman's style.

The emperor fell in love with the red sleeves at a glance, and in order to get her, the emperor set up a celebration banquet and let Gu Jinghuai's father take the red sleeves to participate, and he took advantage of the drunkenness to rape the red sleeves who were resting in the side hall.

He thought that if he had a relationship with Red Sleeves, he would be able to take her for himself, but who knew that Red Sleeves had such a strong personality that it was not Gu Jinghuai's father who did not marry and swore to death.

And Gu Jinghuai's father didn't dislike the red sleeves, and even asked the emperor to marry him.

The emperor raped the general's fiancée, and it was a matter of making people laugh off their big teeth, but the emperor did not allow it, and Gu Jinghuai's father forced him to die.

At that time, the imperial court was employing people, and the emperor executed the generals at will, which was afraid that it would cause panic in the people.

The emperor agreed to Gu Jinghuai's father's request and gave him Red Sleeves to marry, and the two got married not long after, Red Sleeves became pregnant, and when she gave birth to Gu Jinghuai, she had a difficult birth, and she also returned with her death.

Gu Jinghuai was sent into the mountains by the old general, and he didn't pick it up until he was sixteen years old.

The scandal of the royal family will not be known, so very few people know about it, Red Sleeves and Gu Jinghuai's father are dead, and only General Gu is left who knows everything.

The emperor had never doubted Gu Jinghuai's life experience before, but the grade became more and more suspicious, and he began to be more careful, could it be that after he had a relationship with Red Sleeves, Red Sleeves was already pregnant with the dragon species, and Gu Jinghuai was actually his prince? The old general's tone became trembling: "Your Majesty, if Weichen dares to lie, he will be thundered by five thunders, and the red sleeves will marry into my Gu family, and Jinghuai will be born in October before she is pregnant, if the emperor doubts it, you can ...... Recognize relatives with blood. ”

I don't know how difficult it will be for the old general to say it, the emperor and the general will confess their relatives with blood, and how many rumors will be shocked when they are spread.

But forced by the situation, the old general still said those words, he had already raised his head without face, and the obscure ugly things in the past were like ugly scars hidden on the body, every time people opened them, they made people feel that they had lost face.

The Emperor leaned back on the pillow and narrowed his eyes slightly.

After a long pause, he said: "That's it, it's useless to talk about these now, I believe you, Gu Jinghuai is not my prince." ”

"Holy Wisdom!" The old general bowed heavily to the emperor, and his attitude was very sincere.

The emperor spoke again: "I have called the old general, and there is another important matter to be agreed with the old general, and I hope the old general will take the idea." ”

I haven't seen him for a few years, but I didn't expect the emperor to become more moody and elusive than before, and the old general wiped the cold sweat on his head: "Although the emperor said it, the old minister must know everything and say everything." ”

The emperor nodded: "Just to the old general's words, I also said calmly, now that Princess An and Princess An have reached the age of marriage, she and Gu Jinghuai are childhood sweethearts, and they have a soft spot for Gu Jinghuai. Another thunderclap struck the old general's ears.

"The emperor thinks twice, Jing Huai is concerned about the government and politics, and he has no time to take care of the love of his children, and now that the border has just stabilized, he will marry the princess to him, isn't it, something is wrong."

The emperor glanced at him coldly, his eyes were cold, and there was no emotion: "What I said is naturally after consideration, the man should marry the woman and get married, and now that both of them have reached the age of marriage, I feel that there is nothing wrong with this marriage, if the old general has any concerns, he can say it, I want to hear the truth." ”

Marry the princess, you will be a royal slave for the rest of your life, not to mention no human rights, I'm afraid this opportunity to go to the battlefield is gone, I can only circle around the princess, and ask the aspiring men in the world, if not forced, who will be a colt.

The old general stood up straight and said: "Your Majesty, the old minister's health is not as good as before, and if he wants to worry about his grandson's marriage, I'm afraid he can't do it anymore, and I hope that the emperor will atone for his sins, and the old minister can't agree to this." ”

The emperor's squinted eyes opened, and a fierce light faintly appeared, but that gaze was fleeting and elusive.

"Since the old general can't be the master, then I have to ask General Gu in person."

The old general didn't say a word, and he didn't make too many concessions in his attitude.

But what can still be seen is that his attitude is very resolute, almost not giving an inch.

"In that case, then you should weigh it carefully, I won't embarrass you, you go down first."

The old general nodded and bowed, and left the palace, looking closely at his back was a little bent, it seemed that he had become old in an instant, he was old after all, and his body bones were no longer as good as they were back then, after so many ups and downs, wind and candles, he was already exhausted.

Their Gu family has been loyal to the imperial court for generations, and his grandfather is still the founding father, but even so, they can't escape the suspicion of the royal family, and what if they are competitive when they are young.

When he is old, it is not something that the royal family wants to fiddle with.

The old general sighed slightly.

On the second day, Gu Jinghuai received a holy decree from the emperor.

The eunuch who announced the decree walked into the gate of the general's mansion with high spirits.

"General Gu Jinghuai, brave and good at fighting, proficient in the art of war, is the pillar of the country, now he has reached the age of marriage, I miss you and the princess childhood sweetheart, the two have no guesses, so you are named a concubine, choose a day to get married, Qin."

The eunuch's words, like thunder, exploded in Gu Jinghuai's ears, his brows were tightly locked, wrinkled into a ravine, kneeling and clasping his hands, but he did not mean to grasp the purpose.

The eunuch looked at him with a smile: "Congratulations to Master Horse, you still don't want to receive the decree?" ”？ Gu Jinghuai kowtowed heavily, "The minister cares about the safety of the country, and he doesn't dare to get married, and he hopes that the emperor will take back his life." ”

The eunuch narrowed his eyes and said, "General Gu, it is a great honor to give marriage to the princess, do you dare to resist the decree and disrespect?" Gu Jinghuai hugged his hands: "The minister doesn't dare, it's just that he has no intention of marrying, and he hopes that the emperor will take back his will." ”

His attitude was very resolute and did not give in the slightest.

If nothing else, even for Seventeen, he couldn't be a colt.

The eunuch obviously didn't expect this situation in front of him, and he was a little hesitant to hold the holy decree.

At the end, he said: "Since the general's attitude is so resolute, then please ask the general to tell the emperor in person, and the slave will retire first." ”

The eunuch put away the holy decree in his hand and left without looking back, leaving only everyone in the general's mansion in a cold sweat.

Gu Jinghuai got up and stood up, his body was as straight as a pine tree, and his expression was rigorous and unchanged.

"Come here."

Gu Jinghuai waved his hand at Shen Qiqi, who was hiding in the door, and Shen Qiqi immediately walked over obediently.

Gu Jinghuai's eyes were very deep, and he touched Shen Seventeen's head and said.

"Seventeen, I'll send you to the barracks first, send Xiao Deng to continue to take care of you, don't stay in the General's Mansion, I'll let Cui'e send you to the barracks in the afternoon." ”

Shen Qiqi looked confused, and grabbed Gu Jinghuai's sleeve with his hand and didn't let go.
