Gu Nan calmed down, feeling that he should still focus on Gu Jue.

Chu Qianchen is just a woman's family, that is, guarding the back house of King Chen's mansion, except for being angry with the queen mother and the crown princess in words, he can't make any waves.

Gu Nanjin made a gesture to the little waiter dressed as a servant next to him, and the little waiter immediately understood, and hurriedly prepared a teapot, a teacup and tea, and served tea to the three masters.

Gu Jue could see at a glance what Gu Nanjin was thinking, and felt interesting in his heart, and glanced at Chu Qianchen with a soft smile in his eyes.

Gu Nanjin didn't know, but Gu Jue knew best in his heart, he had never told Chu Qianchen what to do, but this girl always seemed to know exactly what King Chen's Mansion wanted, and she could also understand the bottom line of the emperor and the crown prince, and at the same time, it was just right.

This girl obviously has claws, but she has such a long and delicate face, which makes others ignore her stupidly.

It's better to be ignored than to be warned.

The corners of Gu Jue's lips curved, outlining an elegant arc.

The folding fan in his hand stopped, looked at Gu Nanjin with a faint expression and asked, "Then what does the prince want?" ”

Gu Jue clearly and clearly threw the question back to Gu Nanjin.

After the words fell, there was silence in the pavilion.

On the street outside the pavilion, people are still coming and going, and it is very lively.

Inside and outside the pavilion, it seems like two worlds.

The fragrant flower tea has been served, but no one drinks it, no one tastes, and it is just put on the stone table.

"......" Gu Nanjin's eyes became a little deeper, and his heart was like a mirror.

He understood that there was no point in continuing to ask, he would only repeat the previous stalemate, and was once again blocked back by the Nine Emperor Uncles with an understatement of guilt.

Uncle Jiuhuang's meaning is very clear, he will not lightly expose this matter, he wants to take out his chips first and then talk about other things.

Gu Nanjin felt a sudden pain in his temples, and thought solemnly.

In fact, from the time he left the palace to get here, he had thought about it repeatedly, whether it was the best possibility or the worst ending, and he had thought about the best conditions he could offer......

"Uncle Nine," Gu Nan said after careful consideration, "It's been a long time since the Xuanjia Army returned to Beijing, so it's better to give them the Fengtai camp as a station, what does Uncle Nine think?" ”

Most of the forbidden troops stationed in the capital were stationed in the three camps of Fengtai Camp, Xishan Camp and Lucheng Camp, and Gu Nan's willingness to give up the Fengtai camp was already a great sincerity, which was enough to shock the court, which was also unique in the history of Great Qi.

Gu Nanjin looked at Gu Jue with burning eyes.

Chu Qianchen's index finger flicked lightly in the celadon bowl again, and a goldfish fluttered in the water, happily flicking its big tail like an apricot leaf, splashing a few drops of water......

"Huh." Chu Qianchen chuckled, and he didn't know what he was laughing at.

Gu Nanjin: "......"

Gu Nanjin's heartbeat missed a beat inexplicably, and he had a faint bad premonition.

"Lord Wang, how many people are there in the Xuanjia Camp now?" Chu Qianchen turned his head to ask Gu Jue with a smile, it seemed to be well-behaved and clever, as if he was curious, and he seemed to ask casually.

Gu Jue said: "There are 30,000 people who will go back to Beijing with me this time. ”

Chu Qianchen twisted the pair of good-looking willow eyebrows, and said with some worry: "It's only 30,000?" Fengtai camp is huge, right? There are only 30,000 people living in such a large military camp, so how empty it is. Not good, not good. ”

Gu Nanjin: "......"

Gu Nanjin had already guessed that Gu Jue would not respond so readily, and he was also waiting for Gu Jue to open his mouth to express his position before there was room for further discussion.

Gu Nanjin looked at Gu Jue and Chu Qianchen back and forth.

They definitely didn't have a chance to discuss just now, and they didn't even make eye contact, but Gu Jue let Chu Qianchen speak here, but she was not negotiating seriously, as if she was just talking casually, which made Gu Nanjin more and more uncertain about Gu Jue's attitude.

Gu Nanjin felt that his forehead hurt even more, and his mood at the moment was as chaotic as these two goldfish rampaging in the water.

His fists clenched a little more in his sleeves, and he smiled reluctantly, and responded: "The Fengtai camp is indeed too big......

Gu Nan's throat tightened, so he could only agree to let Gu Jue bring back some more troops from the north.

He said politely in a high-sounding manner: "My father also said that the ninth uncle's merit is in Sheji, and the defense of Gyeonggi also depends on the ninth uncle." ”

The implication of his words was that this was also agreed by the emperor.

According to the ancestral system of Daqi, the prince was not allowed to raise private soldiers.

The 30,000 Xuanjia troops that Gu Jue brought back to the capital were when he was eighteen years old, defeated Chidi's 100,000 army, recaptured the three cities for Daqi, and killed Chidi's commander, making great contributions to Daqi.

The first emperor also went to Taimiao to worship his ancestors for this reason, named Gu Jue as Prince Chen, and specially gave him these 30,000 private soldiers, and there were only these 30,000.

Although the Northland Army is still under Gu Jue's orders, it also nominally belongs to the imperial court and obeys the orders of the tiger talisman in Gu Jue's hands, not the soldiers that belong to Gu Jue.

Just because the emperor was in a moment of mood in March, until now, the tiger talisman of the Northland Army is still in the hands of Gu Jue.

Gu Nanjin was complicated in his heart, and felt that his father was really a wrong step, a wrong step.

Gu Nanjin carefully observed the change in Gu Jue's expression, and said, "With another 30,000 people, it will be much more lively if you want to come to this Fengtai camp." ”

His words were tantamount to taking another big step back, and instead of the emperor's promise, he promised to give Gu Jue another 30,000 private soldiers.

Originally, Gu Nanjin didn't plan to throw out 30,000 people directly, and wanted to wait for Gu Jue to speak first before bargaining, but he was disturbed by Chu Qianchen, and Chu Qianchen put him up in a few words, so that he could only hand over his hole cards.

Chu Qianchen was still smiling lightly, his obsidian-like eyes sparkling.

She understood that the emperor was really afraid this time, afraid that Gu Jue would force the Xuanjia army into the palace; I am afraid that the forbidden army stationed in Beijing will not be able to stop the 30,000 Xuanjia army; I am also afraid that the generals will throw themselves at Gu Jue......

They have always been suspicious and fickle, bullying the weak and fearing the hard, and being strong on the outside.

This is true in previous lives and in this life.

Chu Qianchen didn't laugh, it was okay that she smiled, and Gu Nanjin chuckled in her heart.

He is really afraid of him, the little ninth aunt, looking innocent, if he doesn't speak, he just doesn't speak, and when he speaks, he doesn't talk amazingly.

Gu Nanjin gave Chu Qianchen a cup of tea with a smile on her face, trying to stop her mouth: "Aunt Jiu, try this lotus tea, it is fresh and fragrant, if Aunt Jiu likes it, I will go back and ask the crown princess to send some to King Chen's mansion." ”

Gu Nanjin somewhat regretted in his heart that he didn't bring the princess out this time, if the princess was there, she could let her deal with the Nine Emperor Aunts, say a few jokes and make a round or something.

He is a man and a junior, and there are some things that he is inconvenient to say to Chu Qianchen, which will make him appear frivolous.

It's too late to regret it now, Gu Nanjin just wants to end this matter quickly, and he can't wait to ask Gu Jue again: "What does Uncle Nine think?" ”

Chu Qianchen took the tea with a smile, and naturally interjected again: "What about Jinyiwei?" ”

"......" Gu Nanjin's face froze.

He also knew that this incident was originally caused by Jin Yiwei stopping the carriage of the Mu Guogong Mansion in the morning, just because there was no door on the mouth of the general flag of a district, which was originally just a trivial matter, but because his father took advantage of the topic and wanted to teach the Nine Emperor Uncles a lesson, he got to this point because of a small loss.

Gu Nanjin also complained about Jin Yiwei in his heart, he could imagine how arrogant Jin Yiwei was on weekdays, and he was so reckless towards the Mu State Mansion, to put it bluntly, Jin Yiwei was relying on his father's favor.

He could only smile and say: "Aunt Jiu, don't worry, when I go back, I will severely punish that Ding Zongqi, dismiss him, and he will not be taken again for life." ”

Chu Qianchen tilted his little face, frowned again, and looked at Gu Jue a little "helplessly", "Jinyiwei shouldn't retaliate against me in the future, right?" ”

"If I walk on the road in the future, I will be stopped by the Jinyi Guard......"

"Well, I'm a little scared."

Her small slap face was worried and looked very nerve-wracking.

Gu Jue felt that the little girl looked like her black cat who stole a little goldfish from the pond, and she was cheap and behaved.

An inexplicable impulse appeared in his heart, and he wanted to rub her head again, so he saw Gu Nan next to him getting out of his way, and his eyes became cold.

"That's right." Gu Jue echoed matter-of-factly.

Gu Nanjin's scalp was numb, so he listened to Gu Jue continue: "Jinyi Wei should have three deputy commanders, but as far as I know, there are only two of them now. ”

How could Gu Nanjin not understand what Gu Jue meant, what Gu Jue meant by this sentence was to place people in the brocade guard.

Since the founding of the Great Qi Dynasty, Jinyiwei has been a close minister of the Son of Heaven, directly belonging to the Son of Heaven and only obeying the orders of the Son of Heaven, and is an invincible sword in the hands of the Son of Heaven.

If Gu Jue is allowed to insert people into Jinyiwei, then the emperor's face will be gone......

Gu Nanjin didn't dare to say that the emperor would agree, and his face showed embarrassment.

Gu Jue was not in a hurry at all, and still had the heart to take out a few boxes of dim sum that he had bought just now, "Are you hungry?" ”

The lotus root cake that had been bought for less than half an hour was still a little hot, and after the snack box was opened, an attractive sweet smell wafted over, Chu Qianchen was not hungry, but when he smelled the fragrance, he suddenly felt hungry.

She gave a piece to herself, and also gave Gu Jue a piece.

No matter how simple the action is, it has a kind of calm and leisurely calmness, which seems to be in the chest.

In the pavilion, it was quiet again, and the noise on the street seemed to be close and far away, and it had long been unable to reach Gu Nanjin's ears.

Gu Nanjin looked at the two of them in a daze, thinking about the scene over and over again, chewing every word that Chu Qianchen and Gu Jue said, thinking that Chu Qianchen's intervention just now was just right.

He really couldn't figure out which ones were ordered by King Chen in advance, and which ones were Chu Qianchen's on-the-spot play, and her series of appropriate step-by-step pressing was equivalent to roasting him on the fire.

If not, then the conditions he prescribed in front of him will fall short.

Gu Nanjin's eyes darkened.

One wrong step, one wrong step.

Nan Hao's envoys are still in Beijing, and they must not be allowed to find that the relationship between their father and the Nine Emperor Uncles has stiffened to this point, so I am afraid that the marriage between the two countries is completely hopeless.

Once the Xuanjia army comes to the city, maybe it will be the turn of the ministers to advise their father and the emperor to make an edict, and even worse, they have to agree to these conditions put forward by the Nine Emperor Uncles now, and the situation will only get worse......

Gu Nanjin's heart fluctuated, and he quickly weighed the pros and cons in his heart.

When Chu Qianchen swallowed the last bite of the lotus root cake, he heard Gu Nan say dejectedly: "Nine Emperor Uncle, Lone promises you." Today, Lone ordered someone to send the order to King Chen's Mansion, and the candidate was determined by the Nine Emperor Uncles. ”

He suddenly changed his name to "Lonely", which means that he promised Gu Jue as the crown prince.

Gu Nanjin can imagine how angry his father would be when he learned the news, I am afraid that the four treasures of the study that had just been replaced in the imperial study will have to be smashed again.

Chu Qianchen slowly drank the lotus tea to remove the aftertaste in his mouth, thinking that this prince was really as knowledgeable as in his previous life.

What a shame......

It's a pity, Chu Qianchen didn't regret pit the prince at all, and felt quite a sense of accomplishment, so he turned his head and said to Gu Jue: "Lotus tea is good." ”

Gu Jue also took two sips, and the corners of his lips curled again, "It's okay." ”

Gu Nanjin: "......"

This "acceptable" should mean that this matter is over.

Gu Nan calmed down and confirmed uneasily: "Ninth Uncle, what about the Xuanjia Battalion? ”

Since Gu Jue accepted the conditions he offered, it was time to let Xuanjia Group recruit troops, right?

Gu Jue put down the teacup and said lightly: "The Xuanjia Battalion has been idle for a few days in the past few months when it comes to Beijing, so it's time to practice and exercise. ”

Gu Nanjin: "......"

Gu Nanjin breathed a sigh of relief, his heart rose again, and he hung in the air without going up or down.

The meaning of Gu Jue's words is very clear, this time, the Xuanjia Army will collect troops, but if the father regrets it again, it is difficult to say whether this "drill" will change.

No matter how irritable he was, Gu Nanjin still showed grace on his appearance, got up elegantly, and arched his hand at Gu Jue and Chu Qianchen, "Ninth uncle, ninth aunt, I won't bother, I will leave first." ”

Gu Nan's head is as big as a fight, he really has nowhere to say it, he doesn't know how many times he has sighed in his heart, others only see him as a prince who is above 10,000 people, and he is kind and beautiful, but how can they know that he deserves a lot of hardship as a prince.

When he returned to the palace, his father would definitely be angry and angry, and he would inevitably be angry with him, and even suspected that he was facing the Nine Emperor Uncles.

After walking out of the pavilion, Gu Nan couldn't help but stop, and glanced back at Gu Jue in the pavilion, and a strange light quickly flashed under his eyes.

Sometimes, even he can't help but think, if the emperor's grandfather passed on this throne to Gu Jue, would his life be much simpler and better now?

His weakness was only a matter of a moment, and the next moment it was back to normal.

Immediately afterwards, he got into the carriage with the support of the chamberlain.

A group of carriages and horses left quickly along Bating Street.

Whether it was Gu Jue or Chu Qianchen, they didn't care about the prince's departure.

Gu Jue wanted to ask Chu Qianchen if he wanted to go shopping again, but saw Chu Qianchen looking at him with a pair of eyes open and unblinking, his clear pupils were shining, and it was written-

Isn't she amazing?

Chu Qianchen pursed his lips and smiled, feeling that he was very powerful now.

In her previous life, when the prince was alive, she was so weak that the prince was still thinking about her and grieving for her when he was dying.

In this life, she is different.

She won't let the prince bother with her anymore.

Therefore, the prince must be well.

Gu Jue rubbed her head obediently to her will, and her heart softened with her smile.

This girl, even scares people so "go all out"!

"Is it fun?" Gu Jue asked.

Chu Qianchen nodded vigorously: "It's fun!" ”

Gu Jue said: "That's good." ”

Chu Qianchen smiled even more happily, the prince was praising her, right?

That's right, it's praising her!

Chu Qianchen's mood was so good that he was about to fly.

She didn't want to go back to the palace yet, so she looked out of the pavilion and saw that the monkey show had not left, so she proposed: "Lord, let's go see the monkey show." ”

As she spoke, she remembered something again, swept her eyes at the bowl of goldfish on the stone table, and said seriously: "Be careful about 'your' goldfish!" ”

Meaning, if he let the monkey take away his goldfish, don't blame her cat.

Gu Jue was stunned, and was amused by her again.

It's only been half a day, and he seems to be laughing more than he's been in the last few years combined.

This girl always makes him laugh.

"Let's go, let's watch the monkey show!" Gu Jue picked up the celadon bowl with one hand, took Chu Qianchen's hand with the other, and walked towards the monkey trickster outside the pavilion.

The two of them walked and played all the way, and did not return to the palace until it was dark.

At this time, the emperor's decree and a blank order had been sent to King Chen's mansion in front of a stick of incense, and the person who received the decree on behalf of Gu Jue was Cheng Linhua.

This matter spread among the various prefectures in Beijing at once.

This capital is not small, but it is not big.

The movement of Jinyiwei was so big, those powerful mansions in the capital were all in the eyes, and later King Chen ordered Yunzhan to go to the Xuanjia camp to make everyone even more angry, for fear that King Chen would really lead the army to force the palace, for fear that Daqi would usher in a bloody storm.

Fortunately, the crown prince stepped forward.

However, in just one afternoon, the wind and rain changed several times.

Jin Yiwei obeyed the prince's order and retreated from the Chenwang Mansion in a gloomy manner, and later, a new holy decree and an order were sent to the Chenwang Mansion together.

For a time, one stone stirred up a thousand waves.

It is said that King Chen returned to Beijing from the north for only a few months, and he has competed with the emperor several times, except for family affairs, each time the other end in King Chen's victory.

The emperor has lost so much that his pants are almost out of his hands in the games with King Chen.

The emperor has taken a big step back this time.

Everyone talked about it in private.

Some people reprimanded King Chen for being bold and reckless, and supporting his troops with self-respect;

Some people speculate that King Chen was really sick before, and he was cured by Chong Xi, and the emperor was also self-defeating;

Some people also feel that King Chen's "serious illness" even did not hesitate to marry a concubine as a princess, just to lower the emperor's vigilance and devour it step by step.

Even the group of Uhajialou who was in the post house were talking about it.

“…… Now that the Xuanjia Battalion has died down, three days later, 30,000 Xuanjia troops will be stationed in the Fengtai Battalion. Tama told me all the news I had received.

They also felt that something big might have happened in the court because the prince hurriedly said goodbye, so they went to investigate, but they didn't expect it to be another game between King Chen and Emperor Daqi in just half a day.

The other entourages brought by Uhajialou were also in the room, and the atmosphere was slightly condensed.

One of the young men in Tsing Yi guessed: "Your Royal Highness, could King Chen have deliberately pretended to be sick before, so that the Emperor of Great Qi would underestimate the enemy?" ”

Others looked at each other and thought it was not impossible.

"Nope." Jialou stroked the string of Buddha beads in his hand, and said lightly but with great certainty, "You are inevitably too contemptuous of Gu Jue." ”

Gu Jue, the king of Chen, would not make such a petty behavior.

Jialou not only remembered his last conversation with Gu Jue again, Gu Jue said to him: "Then I, I will go against the sky." ”

"Against the sky." Garu read these four words almost silently.

Gu Jue was indeed doing what he said.

Garu looked up at the dim sky outside the window, and the fiery clouds in the western sky were as red as blood, as if the night had been torn out of a blood-red gap.

Tama touched his beard and asked curiously, "If the Great Qi Emperor is stiff, will King Chen really force the palace?" ”

Jialou himself lit the candle, and the soft candlelight shrouded in his snow-white monk's robe, which seemed to be glowing, which made his temperament more and more dusty.

His eyes were deep and calm, without a trace of waves, and he said categorically: "The Great Qi Emperor doesn't dare." ”

"King Chen knows the Great Qi Emperor too well!"

Emperor Daqi did not dare.

The Great Qi Emperor didn't know what Gu Jue's hole cards were.

With the suspicion of the Great Qi Emperor, he must have felt that Gu Jue dared to make a move, and he must be hiding a hole card.

He was afraid, afraid of losing his throne.

After all, in the thousands of years of history of the Central Plains, there are also cases of killing brothers and seizing the throne, and Gu Jue, the king of Chen, has been a nightmare in the heart of Emperor Daqi for many years, and he can't wait to get rid of it quickly.

Gu Jue was the person Emperor Daqi hated the most, and at the same time he was the person he feared the most, which had been deeply engraved in his bones for several years.
