Catch the Turkic Khan? Lin Wanrong was puzzled: "Old man, this is too difficult!" General Li Tai has been fighting horses all his life, killing countless Hu people, and he still hasn't even seen the appearance of the Turkic Khan, not to mention that it is the first time I have been there! Don't talk about catching the Turkic Khan, as long as I can not be caught by the Turks, I will recite Amitabha! ”

He said pitifully, with a miserable look on his face, the emperor shook his head and smiled: "Before the expedition, how can you say such depressing words!" It's not easy for you to catch the Turkic Khan, but it's also very difficult for the Turks to arrest you? I just hope that you can play with the majesty and morale of my Dahua this time, and ensure the peace of my Dahua border pass, and there will be no beacon fire in ten years. Can you be confident that you can do it? ”

No beacon fire in 10 years? That's too much to ask! If it could be done so easily, Li Tai would not have looked through the white head. Lin Wanrong smiled bitterly: "I have confidence, but I don't dare to say whether I can really do it." After all, the Turks are not the White Lotus Sect! ”

"It's okay," the emperor waved his hand generously, "I'm sure you can do it." I have faith in you, and you have never disappointed me! ”

Then you can only blame me for being too good, you are used to my excellence, naturally you don't know what it is like to fail, Lin Wanrong sighed.

The emperor didn't seem to see his bitter face, and said with a smile: "Your subordinates Hu Bugui, Du Xiuyuan, Li Sheng, and that Xu Zhen have all been rewarded, so you can only use them boldly and boldly." ”

Lin Wanrong sensitively sniffed out something else, frowned, and said, "Your Majesty, you mean, there are still some people who I can't use with confidence?" ”

"I didn't say it, you guessed it yourself." The emperor's face remained unchanged, and he said slowly: "I just hope that you will be more careful in everything and don't be gullible." Don't wait until the catastrophe is coming, and then look for the regret medicine! ”

What does this mean? Lin Wanrong had the heart to ask in detail, but the old man seemed unwilling to talk more, and Lin Wanrong couldn't help it for a while.

When he came out of the palace, it was already the middle of the moon, and the high chief was still waiting at the door. Lin Wanrong stretched her waist lazily and said with a smile: "Brother Gao, let's go home quickly, it just so happens that they are probably in a hurry." I'll treat you to tea and stubble later! ”

The chief answered, and then showed some embarrassment on his face: "Brother Lin, there is an old gentleman who wants to see you!" ”

Lin Wanrong's heart was like an arrow, and she didn't want to stay longer for a moment, so she shook her head hurriedly: "What old gentleman?!" I don't want to see anyone now, I just want to go home. Brother Gao, if you tell him, just say that I am not free now, and I will make an appointment another day! ”

Before the words fell, I heard a clear laugh from the side: "Lord Lin, you are not very old, but the shelf is not small!" ”

Next to the city wall at the entrance of the palace, there was a small sedan chair parked, the curtain was lifted, Gu Shunzhang walked out slowly, walking in a beautiful shirt, with a chic demeanor, nodding and smiling at Lin Wanrong.

"Oh, it turned out to be Mr. Gu, disrespectful and disrespectful!" Lin Wanrong hurriedly clenched her fists and secretly winked at Chief Gao: "Brother Gao, why didn't you say it earlier?!" If I had known that it was the emperor who summoned me, even if I Lin San broke my leg, I would definitely have arrived with a swift stride! Tell the emperor to wait for a long time, the kid is ashamed, ashamed! ”

Gu Shunzhang smiled slightly: "Lord Lin, what you said is good, but I am afraid that in my heart, I am complaining that this old man does not know the current affairs and disturbs your reunion with your family." I'm sorry, it's the old man. ”

"No, Mr. Gu is too polite." Lin Wanrong hurriedly snorted, her expression was very humble: "I don't know if the emperor summoned the kid, what instructions do you have?" You're just a pipe! ”

Gu Shunzhang slowly paced a few steps and approached Lin Wanrong, his eyes fixed on him, but he didn't speak.

The old man's face was flat, his eyes seemed to be smiling, and he was staring at him, Lin Wanrong suddenly felt uncomfortable, so he pulled Chief Gao in front of him: "Brother Gao, the moon is too sunny tonight, you can help me block it." ”

The emperor nodded slightly, and suddenly laughed: "Lord Lin, there is a question, the old man doesn't know whether to ask it or not!" ”

"Why is Mr. Gu so polite." The old man's eyes were burning, as if he was looking at a thief, he had been staring at him for a long time, Lin Wanrong was also a little annoyed, and laughed a few times: "You are a world-famous emperor, even the emperor has to listen to you." Do you have a question, do I dare not answer it?! ”

Gu Shunzhang shook his head and smiled: "Lord Lin, although Lao Yu has traveled all over the world in the past year, your story has been recited all over the world, and I have heard a lot about restaurants and tea shops. The old man is very curious, in my Dahua land, who can teach such an outstanding talent as you? Where is the immortal township of adults, can you tell the old decay?! ”

"The kid is a Jingchu clan, and the family is withered, and I am the only one left. I went out to travel when I was a teenager, and I haven't returned to my hometown for many years, and I don't even remember the name and appearance of Xianxiang, ashamed, ashamed! Lin Wanrong sighed fakely. This set of rhetoric, he has long memorized the rolling melons, and when he first entered the Xiao family, he told his wife about it again.

"It turned out to be the Jing Chu clan." Gu Shunzhang nodded: "The old man thought that you were really from the foot of Mount Tai—"

"What, what did you say?" Lin Wanrong was shocked: "Mr. Gu, what is the foot of Mount Tai, you said it clearly!" ”

Seeing that he looked nervous, Gu Shunzhang smiled apologetically: "Old decay is also hearsay, don't take it seriously, don't take it to heart." ”

Lin Wanrong's face was pale, her palms were full of beads of sweat, and she worked hard to calm her emotions: "Mr. Gu, what kind of hearsay?" Can you elaborate on that, I've never heard of it before! ”

Gu Shunzhang nodded: "When I traveled in Goryeo, it happened that your deeds were spread there, and the idea of unity and continuity you put forward caused an uproar in Goryeo. Some people say that you are an amazing ghost cultivated by Dahua, some people say that you are a wanderer who returned from the West, and even more, that you are a monster of Xuanwu Lake in Jinling. Hehe, how can the old man trust these words?! Later, the old man talked about this with a Goryeo strange man, and the strange man pinched his fingers and said that you were born in Mount Tai! ”

Is it a fortune teller?! Is there such a coincidence in the world? Lin Wanrong never believed this, he said cautiously: "Mr. Gu, the Goryeo strange man you are talking about, is he a Goryeo?!" ”

"I didn't ask about that." Gu Shunzhang shook his head and said.

"Is he male or female? How old are you? What is your name?! ”

Gu Shunzhang carefully recalled: "I didn't pay attention to this-" Seeing Lin Wanrong looking at him with wide eyes, Mr. Gu hurriedly smiled: "Don't misunderstand, when the old man talks to this strange person, it is through the curtain, and it is passed down by others, and the old man has not even seen his face!" ”

No way? What strange people have such a big shelf?! Lin Wanrong was suddenly a little disappointed: "Mr. Gu, since you haven't even seen him, how do you know that he is a Gaoliqi person?!" ”

"Legend has it that this strange man knows the heavens and the earth, and he knows it for 500 years before and 500 years later. This matter has long been rumored in Goryeo, and the old man also went to admire it. Mr. Gu nodded and said: "Although the old man asks himself to read more than 10,000 volumes, but in front of this strange person, he can't take advantage of half of it, but often asks for him!" At that time, when you were in the limelight in Goryeo, I asked the strange man for your origins. At first, he was reluctant to say, but later learned that I was from Dahua, so he divined a hexagram, which led to the saying that you were born in Mount Tai. But when I asked about other things, he wouldn't talk about it! ”

Is he really a man of God? Lin Wanrong sighed and sighed: "When I come back from the north, I will also go to Goryeo to visit this strange man to see if he can really pinch and calculate." ”

"It shouldn't disappoint you." Gu Shunzhang nodded and smiled: "But you have to hurry, don't wait until Goryeo is captured by Dongying, then it will be too late." ”

"I know, I know," Lin Wanrong grinned, "I am the commander of the Dahua Loyal Army, and if Nagoryeo is captured, I will be much more anxious than you." ”

"Anxious?!" Gu Shunzhang smiled very mysteriously: "Lord Lin is too outward!" The people of Korea are anxious, and the people of Dongying are anxious, but it will never be Lord Lin who is in a hurry! Where can I find this good thing of reaping the profits of fishermen?! ”

The emperor is the emperor, his eyes are really vicious, Lin Wanrong laughed twice, and his face showed a bit of triumph.

Gu Shunzhang gradually put away his smile, and his face became serious: "Lin San, there is one thing, I hope you can answer me seriously." ”

This old man's ability to change his face is about to catch up with the old man! Lin Wanrong nodded and said, "Mr. Gu, please speak!" ”

Gu Shunzhang sighed, looked at it from afar, and said leisurely: "How sure are you of winning this war with the Turks?!" ”

Who would dare to answer this question? Lin Wanrong shrugged her shoulders and said helplessly: "Mr. Gu, aren't you embarrassed for me?" You should ask this question to General Li Tai! ”

Gu Shunzhang shook his head silently and said with a wry smile: "I have asked him this question for more than 30 years, and you have also seen the result!" This time, you went out with the army, but it added a lot of hope to the old decay, with your talent, even if it is not a big victory, the Turks will definitely not be able to take advantage of it. I only hope you can answer me, how sure are you in this battle? ”

"Do you want me to be honest?" Lin Wanrong spread her hands and said helplessly: "Mr. Gu, if I don't tell you, I'm not half sure!" This is the first time I've fought against the Hu people - give me ten years, maybe there's some hope! ”

Gu Shunzhang shook his head in disappointment: "Ten years is impossible, you only have five months!" This time the troops are different from the past, and the success or failure of my Dahua lies in this move. If it wins, it will be famous for eternity. If it is defeated, Dahua will fall apart, and the country will not be a country! ”

Is it so serious? In the past few decades, Dahua and the Turks have been at war, isn't it also more losses and fewer wins, why haven't they collapsed?! He snorted puzzled.

"Do you know, why is the emperor in a hurry to do something to King Cheng?" Gu Shunzhang sighed softly: "I'm afraid it's his body bones-" He sighed and stopped the topic.

"Mr. Gu, you have rebelled, it is obvious that the prince is rebelling, everyone in the palace has seen it, how can you say that the emperor did it to King Cheng?!" Lin Wanrong quibbled.

"Really?!" Gu Shunzhang's expression remained unchanged, and he said calmly: "Then Zhao Wu's identity, you don't know?!" ”

There were too many meanings in his question, Lin Wanrong clenched his fists, and sweat beaded in his palms. Zhao Wu's true identity is only known to the emperor, and if you count King Cheng and himself, there are only three people who can survive, how can Gu Shunzhang know? What is the origin of this emperor?!

"Don't be surprised!" Gu Shi sighed: "Then Zhao Wu is what I personally recommended to the emperor." ”

"You recommend it?!" Lin Wanrong was so shocked that she couldn't speak!

Gu Shunzhang smiled bitterly: "To be precise, it was selected by the emperor first, and then I came forward and recommended it to the emperor!" ”

The Emperor?! Lin Wanrong gasped, the emperor actually wanted to kill his own son?! The world is crazy!

Gu Shunzhang let out a long sigh, his gray beard fluttering in the wind, and his eyes shone brightly: "In fact, in the past, like you, I couldn't understand the actions of the first emperor!" ”

"It's hard to understand!" Lin Wanrong couldn't help but sigh.

"When the first emperor was alive, on the surface, he attached great importance to King Cheng, and pointed to him everywhere, and the world thought that this throne belonged to King Cheng. This is not the case. The emperor attaches the same importance to the two princes, but the method is different. King Cheng was smart and clever, and his edge was extremely strong, so the emperor followed his temperament, pushed him to a high position, and observed his behavior. And the second prince of the year, that is, the emperor today, was thoughtful, loyal and forbearing, and the emperor did not treat him badly, and secretly deployed, so that he took charge of real power in silence. The emperor's intention is to choose the best among these two! And these two princes also have their own characteristics, and they are also fighting openly and secretly with each other, making it difficult for the emperor to make a decision for a while! ”

It turns out that this is the case, the glory of King Cheng in the past is just an illusion deliberately created by the emperor, in this way, the old emperor's scheming should be due to my ancestor.

"The first emperor wants to choose the best prince, so what does this have to do with sending secret sentinels?!" Lin Wanrong was puzzled.

"Don't panic, listen to me." Gu Shunzhang shook his head and sighed lightly: "As an emperor back then, I also spoke beside the emperor, and because of this, the two princes tried their best to get close to me. Under such circumstances, the emperor secretly selected a few secret sentinels and asked me to recommend them to the two princes respectively. After the two princes inspected these people, they were satisfied, so they planted these people into the other party's camp respectively! ”

Lin Wanrong was dripping in cold sweat when she heard this, and said cautiously: "So, that Zhao Wu, on the surface, seems to be obeying the emperor's orders, but in fact, he is the eyeliner of the emperor?!" ”

"Not bad." Gu Shunzhang said lightly: "In the same way, there is also a secret whistle sent by King Cheng by the side of the second prince. In fact, these secret whistles are the eyes of the emperor! Every move of the two princes, noble and despicable, 1510, fell in the eyes of the emperor. ”

Father and son?! Brothers?! I'm afraid that even the enemy of life and death is not so ruthless! Lin Wanrong shook her head speechlessly!

In this case, it is immediately clear which is better or worse. King Cheng is impetuous, not heavy enough", and it won't be long before he wants to make a move to the second prince. But the current emperor is holding back, and has sent Zhao Wu to King Cheng's side for decades, but he has never given him any instructions! All of this naturally fell into the eyes of the former emperor! Gu Shunzhang let out a long sigh: "The emperor's city is a hundred times stronger than the emperor expected. ”

"Ten years without an order?!" Lin Wanrong sighed when he heard it: "The emperor is really extraordinary, I'm afraid he has already seen through Zhao Wu's true identity!" ”

"That's what you said, the old man never said it." Gu Shunzhang's eyes flickered, and he was secretive.

"What I say is what I say! When it comes to the city, King Cheng is indeed far inferior to the emperor. The ultimate infernal relationship between father and son, Lin Wanrong could only sigh: "The first emperor is also merciful enough, King Cheng rebelled in the past, and wanted to put the first emperor and his brother to death, before the first emperor died, he passed the throne to the emperor, but the emperor was not allowed to attack King Cheng!" ”

Gu Shunzhang suddenly laughed: "Lin San, you are stupid and cute!" ”

When a man says that a man is cute, it is about the same as a pervert, Lin Wanrong said angrily: "Mr. Gu, what do you mean by this?!" ”

Gu Shi patted him on the shoulder, nodded and smiled: "You are not an emperor, you will never know the emperor's mind!" What kind of crime is treason, you probably understand? Did the emperor really forgive King Cheng? Does the emperor really want to pardon King Cheng today?! So what did Zhao Wu do?! What is the imperial style, you will soon understand!! ”

"Imperial?! Gu Shi, do you mean that the emperor will-" Lin Wanrong's face changed rapidly, and when she thought of the terrible place, she was shocked more than joyful.

"Shhhhh ”

Lin Wanrong nodded involuntarily, took a deep look, and praised sincerely: "Master Gu, you are the real emperor's teacher, the kid has been taught!" ”
