Chapter 42 Fear of the Return
Yu Yan spent the night anxiously, and didn't fall asleep until Yinshi, but he woke up again in an hour, and after a simple freshening, he was taken to the imperial study with Han Lin, Gu Chi had already gone to court, Yu Yan was waiting in the side hall, and Gonggong Qin watched their every move intentionally or unintentionally.
At dawn, Gu Chixia went to the cold palace to pick up the string song in person, and then went back to the imperial study together.
Along the way, Gu Chi asked for warmth in every possible way, and Xian Ge also pretended to be grateful, but she had already hated Gu Chi in her heart, and this time she came out, she wanted to set up a bureau and make Gu Chi suffer for the rest of her life.
When they arrived at the imperial study, Gonggong Qin took Yu Yan and Han Lin to the main hall, and the two saluted: "See the emperor." ”
"Flat." Gu Chi turned to Xian Ge and smiled: "This is another stop, I am here to paint a portrait of you, and no one can question your fate from now on." ”
Xian Ge saluted respectfully, "Thank you, Your Majesty." Raising his eyes to look at Youzhi, the moment his eyes touched, a hot current overflowed in his heart, hot like lava, Xian Ge quickly covered his chest, suppressed this strangeness, and nodded to Youzhi.
When Yu Yan heard the sound of the string song, as expected, all kinds of emotions could only be suppressed, Han Lin returned the salute on behalf of Yu Yan, and Gu Chi gave them a seat.
After a while, the eunuch brought the drawing board, and Yu Yan started to paint, and in his mind, it was full of the smiling faces of the string song, deep into the bones, every stroke was love, but the kung fu of a cup of tea, the clever and smiling appearance of the string song was fixed on the drawing board.
Different from Gu Chi's contemplation, Xian Ge was already shocked, he had never met Youzhi, why could he draw his own appearance, and such brushstrokes seemed to be familiar.
I wanted to ask carefully, but because of Gu Chi's presence, I was afraid that it would cause trouble to Youzhi, so I suppressed the exploration in my heart and looked at the portrait carefully.
"Mr. Youzhi really lives up to his reputation." Gu Chi looked at it with a smile and stopped, as an emperor, such a 'divine skill' would not be allowed to survive.
"The emperor is serious, and the grass people dare not be ashamed." Gu Chi was ruthless, and Yu Yan was vigilant everywhere.
"Let's go down." Gu Chi motioned to Gonggong Qin to take Yu Yan and the others back to the side hall, and then said to Xian Ge with a smile: "A few days ago, I wronged you. ”
Xian Ge looked as usual, "It's okay. ”
Gu Chi smiled and said astringently, "I hope you can complain about me." ”
"The power of the Son of Heaven is inviolable." If it was before, Xian Ge still felt that Gu Chi was a humble gentleman, but since he knew the truth about Yu Yan's murder, the huge hatred has been hidden in his heart, and there is always a chance for him to repay it all.
"Ugh." Gu Chi shook his head and said helplessly: "Let's eat." ”
This meal is tasteless.
Yu Yan's portrait of Xian Ge was sent to Ninghua Temple, and the rumors about Xian Ge in the city gradually died out, and the ministers of the court and China only had occasional complaints, and in general, this rumor was stifled in Dingcheng.
On the third day of the seventh month of the 32nd year of Zhang Yuan, the Jin State suddenly invaded the border, and the border of Daxi was invaded and occupied, on the same day, Gu Chi held an emergency court meeting, temporarily dispatched 30,000 soldiers and horses, and appointed Du Guangde as the general, and Bai Yang as the deputy commander, and set out to conquer the Northern Expedition in the future.
After receiving the secret order, Liang Chaotian only left a few spies to protect Yu Yan, and then returned to the Jin State, and was appointed by the Jin Emperor as the 'Dingyuan General', and then went to the border between the two countries with his soldiers to fight.
The soldiers of the two countries met each other and killed each other in the dark, and the Liang Dynasty was like a bamboo, killing Du Guangde to the point of defeat and retreat, but in one day, they occupied a border town in Daxi, and when the military information was transmitted back to Daxi, Gu Chi was so angry that he shouted, "Waste!" ”
After this battle, the people's morale rose greatly, and the Liang Dynasty pursued with victory, broke four cities in a row, forced Du Guangde to Wancheng, and besieged it heavily, and Daxi fell into a crisis.
On that day, Gu Chi was in the early dynasty, the news that Du Guangde was trapped came back, the ministers of the court and the central government were all like blank paper, there was nothing to do, Gu Chi was also anxious, the past was heavy on literature and light on martial arts, Du Guangde was already the best good general, trapped overnight, no one in the court could use it, and said angrily: "Who can come up with a way to solve the crisis in Wancheng and worship the king!" ”
The ministers below whispered one after another, everyone wanted such tempting conditions, but they really couldn't think of a solution, and said in unison: "The ministers are incompetent." ”
"A bunch of rubbish!" Gu Chifo went to the object on the case, stood up, and opened his eyes angrily, "Then I will drive the expedition in person!" ”
"Your Majesty can't." The ministers knelt down and kowtowed to pleading.
"Humph! I can't think of a way, and I can't do it in person, so I have to wait for the golden thief to enter the palace to get what you want! Gu Chi shook his hand and looked at the ministers below with cold eyes.
The ministers fell to the ground, not daring to speak.
Gu Yuan stepped forward and said, "Brother Huang, my brother is willing to lead troops to defend against the enemy." ”
"Nonsense!" Gu Chi scolded, and said softly: "You are weak, how can you lead troops to fight." ”
Gu Yuan was about to argue, but Gu Chi raised his hand to interrupt, "The military department is still in the book, transfer the elite in the city, and then gather all the soldiers around it, and tomorrow, go to Wancheng with me and take him by surprise." ”
"But in this way, the defense of Dingcheng will be weak, if the Jin Kingdom comes to the bottom of the kettle, won't the imperial city be in danger!" The military department Shangshu stepped forward to persuade.
Gu Chi pondered, and after a while, said: "Put my escort team in the dark of the imperial city, the imperial forest army is in the light, the archers are arranged around, only one is left for secret agents from all over the country, and the rest are all recruited back, and distributed in Dingcheng City, they are all extraordinary, once the enemy comes to attack, they will contain the enemy army, and here, close the city gate, and come to close the door and fight the dog!" ”
"The emperor is wise."
"Okay, it's decided, tomorrow, I will drive the expedition in person, the three kings, you will temporarily replace the affairs of the court."
Gu Yuan's face was solemn, "Obey." ”
The next day, Gu Chi led the troops to leave in a hurry, sure enough, as soon as he arrived in Wancheng, he caught Liang Chaotian off guard, and in less than a day, he solved the crisis in Wancheng, and successfully joined Du Guangde's soldiers and horses, which undoubtedly greatly boosted the morale of the soldiers in the past, and the soldiers and horses of the two countries launched a fierce battle in Wancheng.
In the imperial study, Yu Yan is painting a portrait of Xian Ge, Qin Gonggong has obtained the will, guarding Yu Yan everywhere, paying attention to his every move, Xian Ge has wanted to ask him something countless times, you can see the appearance of the eunuch, you know that you can't act rashly.
After finishing the painting, Yu Yan was taken down, and Xian Ge went out of the imperial study and walked to the Falling Dust Pavilion, Gu Chi drove the royal expedition in person, and his monitoring of himself was weak, as long as he got the Qin father-in-law, the question he wanted to ask was not easy, so he turned around and went to the Tai Hospital, saying that he was dizzy, and asked for some cool medicine to relieve the heat before returning to the Falling Dust Pavilion.
"Master, you're back." Caiwen brought a bowl of plum soup and handed it to Xiange.
Xian Ge took it and took a sip, "Have you hidden that painting?" "When he came out of the cold palace, Xian Ge didn't take the painting with him, but just asked Caiwen to choose a secret place to hide it, and when necessary, he would use it.
Caiwen attached it to Xiange's ear and whispered: "Don't worry, master, it's in the chair leg in the corner." ”
"Hmm." Xian Ge drank the plum soup in one gulp and handed the bowl to Caiwen, "You go out first." ”
After Caiwen retreated, Xian Ge opened the medicinal herb bag, picked out the wood chrysanthemum inside, burned it to ashes with a candle, put it in clean water, and then pulled off the hairpin on his head and soaked it in wood chrysanthemum water.
According to records, the chrysanthemum, cold and bitter taste, clear heat and detoxify, when flowers, smell it makes people drowsy, eat it, make people sleepy, flower juice into the blood, sleep for half a day, wake up and forget all about this day.
