The emperor's eyes lit up, and he looked at the veteran who opened his mouth and asked, "Who?" ”

The one hugged his fists and said solemnly: "The second son of the Gu family, Gu Chen." ”

Song Yu's eyes shrank, and then he said: "He is now a white body, and he doesn't take the court's service, I'm afraid he can't let him lead the troops to the battle, besides, the palace heard that he will take his wife and daughter out to travel in two days, and even the salute has been packed." ”

Now that their family of three is living a dull and happy life, he doesn't want to involve him in this war at all.

"But, it's not like it's gone yet." The veteran said, "Although Gu Gongzi is no longer an official now, more than three generations of the Gu family are important ministers of the imperial court, at this time, it is not easy for him to stay out of the matter, besides, the world is going to be in chaos, where can they travel?" Where is there peace? ”

Song Yu was dumbfounded by him.

It is true that he is right, the world is going to be in chaos, where is there a pure land that can make people enjoy the mountains and rivers? Where can he safely take his wife and daughter to live a free life?

When the time comes, I'm afraid that everywhere you go will be desolate!

Song Yu didn't feel good in his heart, he only hated that he couldn't be separated, Miao Jiang was the enemy he was most familiar with, although it was only less than a year to fight, but Miao Ren's methods were nothing more than those few things, as long as he was familiar with it, it was actually not difficult to win.

This time, he hoped to go and wipe out the small country, lest they have another incident.

"Your Majesty, has this Miao Jiang eaten the gall of a bear's heart and a leopard? Their protons are still in the capital, how can they say the opposite? A general said indignantly.

"Hmph, the Miao people are used to losing their cars to protect the handsome, for them, whether they send a beauty or a prince, as long as they are sent over, they don't expect them to go back alive, just to confuse us." Helian Chi said with a snort.

However, it is said that tiger poison does not eat children, but I didn't expect this King of Miao Jiang to be willing to even give up his favorite son, which is really ruthless.

"When I turn around, I will definitely bring that prince of Miaojiang and escort him to the front of the battle to hang him." General Fang said with a sneer.

The emperor clenched his fists, and finally spoke: "Xiaobeizi, you go to Gu Mansion in person and call Gu Chen into the palace." ”

As soon as Gonggong Pei heard this, he knew that the emperor had made a decision, and he didn't dare to delay, so he hurriedly went.

Seeing this, Song Yu didn't say anything, he also knew that there was indeed no other suitable candidate at this time, if he said a few more words, I am afraid that the emperor would suspect that he had a close relationship with Gu Chen.

Moreover, taking 10,000 steps back, Gu Chen might be able to be a little more sure, and he could also tell him in detail about the terrain on the Miao side of Miao Jiang and the characteristics of the Miao people, but he was not afraid of anything.

Next, the entire imperial study was extremely depressed, the emperor's face was dark and heavy, and the air pressure around him was extremely low.

Fortunately, such an atmosphere did not last long, because Gu Chen almost arrived from Pegasus.

"Your Majesty, on the way, Gonggong Bei told the minister, and the minister is willing to lead the troops to Pingmiaojiang and Xishu." As soon as Gu Chen entered the door, he volunteered to say, "It's just that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has fought with those two countries, and I'm afraid that I will have to trouble His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to explain the situation over there to the ministers in detail later." ”

Song Yu looked at Gu Chen, and a touch of guilt appeared in his heart, but seeing that he said so, he naturally could only respond: "Gu Qing is polite, only this palace knows, you must know everything, everything you say, it's just that your trip is ......"

Gu Chen immediately said: "When the national disaster is at the head, what is personal happiness, the minister thinks, and the minister's wife and daughter will understand." ”

He was in a hurry about this matter, and he didn't have time to tell Qin Niang, but he believed that Qin Niang had righteousness in her heart, and she would not stop him.

It's just that he easily decided to go on the expedition, and he always felt a little guilty about their mother and daughter.

"Since Gu Qing agrees to lead the troops there, then I can rest assured, with Gu Qing going, Miao Jiang's gang can't turn over a few waves, this time, I want to completely wipe out their country, it's really annoying to watch them come out every now and then to make trouble."

A touch of coldness burst out of the emperor's eyes, since King Miao Jiang didn't want to be good, then set foot on his land.

"There is also Xishu, I don't look at them very well, if they don't surrender, they will wait for the death of the country, if I don't tie these two small countries, you won't go back to Beijing." The emperor said, motioning to Gonggong Pei to bring the talisman.

The Bei Gong Guild understood and brought over the box containing the talisman.

The emperor motioned to give the talisman to Gu Chen, and Gonggong Pei held the talisman and handed it to Gu Chen.

"Gu Chen, I have given you the talisman, with this talisman, you can command the soldiers and horses of the whole country, but I only have one point, that is, to make those two small countries never make trouble again." The emperor looked at Gu Chen solemnly and said.

"Minister, I will live up to Your Majesty's high expectations." Gu Chen held the talisman and solemnly saluted the emperor.

"Ahem, cough, cough......" The emperor coughed violently a few times, Gonggong Pei hurriedly stepped forward to give him relief, the emperor took a few breaths, and then continued, "I know that your stable life has only been a few years old, and it is a little wronged to let you send troops to quell the chaos at this time, but I really can't find anyone else." ”

With that, he coughed violently again.

Seeing this, Gu Chen hurriedly arched his hand and said: "As a citizen of the east, the country is in trouble, how dare the minister steal peace alone?" Your Majesty can rest assured that these two small countries will definitely be leveled by their ministers. ”

Seeing this, the emperor nodded reassuringly: "Today, you go back and explain to your family first, I will officially issue a decree to canonize it on the same day, go ahead." ”

"Yes." Gu Chen gave up his hand and retreated.

"You all go down, I still have something to discuss with the prince." The emperor waved his hand and motioned for everyone to eat.

Everyone answered, and they all withdrew from the imperial study.

"Father, do you want to help you back to the Heart Cultivation Palace?" Song Yu stepped forward and asked by the emperor's arm.

"No need, I also know that letting Gu Qing lead the troops on the expedition is not the best choice, after all, he has not dealt with those people, although he is proficient in the way of military training, but he has never really been on the battlefield, and now he will be asked to take on this big responsibility, it is indeed a bit risky, but I am still willing to believe him."

After all, in the past three years, although Gu Chen has not been an official, he has provided a lot of advice to the imperial court on military training, and they are all very effective, and those veterans in Beijing often ask him to go to the school to compete.

He believes that the children raised by Gu Ge's hometown are not mediocre.

"Father, rest assured, if someone else goes, the son will definitely not agree, if Gu Chen goes, I believe he will do better than the son." Song Yu rarely praised Gu Chen in front of the emperor, on the one hand, he was afraid that the emperor would be suspicious, and on the other hand, Gu Chen didn't want to be an official, so why did he let the emperor worry about him?

"Then you can go to his house later and tell him the situation over there in detail, and it's best to draw a few topographical maps for him, and try to be foolproof." The emperor said solemnly.

Song Yu nodded: "The son knows it, and the father can rest assured." ”

"Hmm." The emperor nodded, and then asked Gonggong Pei to help him back to the harem to rest, and sent Song Yu away.

After Song Yu left the palace, he went directly to Gu's house.

Gu Zhai, Qin Garden.

As soon as Gu Chen returned home, he told Qin Niang about what happened after entering the palace, Qin Niang heard that he had been silent for a long time, Gu Chen was very nervous, he was really afraid that Qin Niang would make trouble with him.

However, Qin Niang just bit her lip and hung her head and was silent for a while before raising her face and saying: "Although I am reluctant to let you go, I also know that the country is in trouble, and we, as the people of the east, naturally cannot sit idly by, besides, except for the prince, no one can lead the army to Miaojiang at all." ”

However, she also knew very well in her heart that now that Song Yu had entered the East Palace, just like Song Huai at the beginning, the emperor would never let him lead the troops to the battle.

Everyone can see the emperor's body, he may die one day, if there is no owner in the court, I am afraid that those relatives will start to be demons again.

Now that the situation has finally been settled, we must not go back so easily, so the best choice is to let Gu Chen lead the troops to the battle.

"Qin'er, I promise you, I will definitely protect myself well, I will not let myself be in danger, and I will quickly calm the border pass, and when everything is successful, I will lead you and Ying'er to go on a tour of the mountains and rivers, and then we will go wherever we go, okay?" Gu Chen held her shoulders and said with a serious face.

Qin Niang nodded and asked, "When did Your Majesty order you to leave?" I'm going to get you some of the must-haves. ”

Qin Niang said, don't look away, quickly wiped a handful of tears that slipped down, turned around and walked briskly to the inner room.

Gu Chen clenched his fists, his heart was full of guilt, they were all ready to salute, ready to go to the Yang family tomorrow, say goodbye to the Yang family, and set off the day after tomorrow, but they didn't expect that the change would come so quickly.

"Daddy, did you make your mother angry?" A childish voice sounded from Gu Chen's feet, and his robe was also grasped by a delicate little hand, and shook it lightly twice.

Gu Chen looked down at the little girl's cute little face, and his two black grape-like eyes looked at him watery.

Gu Chen only felt that his heart softened, he squatted down, stroked the little girl's hair, and said softly: "Daddy didn't make your mother angry, it's just that Daddy can't take you out to play, Daddy has to go on a long trip, and it may take a long time to come back, Ying'er must be well-behaved, don't make your mother angry." ”

The little girl tilted her head very clearly and blinked her two big eyes, and then asked very innocently: "Then Daddy is going out to play alone?" ”

Gu Chen reached out and pinched her fleshy cheek, and said, "Daddy wants to go out to fight, not to play, but Daddy promised you that when you come back, I will take you out to play with your mother, you have to be obedient at home, okay?" ”

The little girl didn't know what war was, but she nodded obediently.

At this time, the porter's mother-in-law came to report: "Young master, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has come down." ”
