Now Gu Jingyue greeted them at the door, and he had to pay more attention to him.

Thinking of this, Gu Mingxuan lowered the curtain of the carriage.

As soon as the carriage stopped, before the people got down, they heard Gu Jingyue's voice.

"Congratulations on the triumphant return of the third brother." Gu Jingyue pretended to be calm at this time, and then said.

Hearing the prince's voice, Gu Mingxuan couldn't help sneering in his heart, and only after the carriage battle was settled, did he lift the curtain of the carriage, and then said with a smile, "Prince Lao came to the city gate to receive him, he should have waited for a long time." ”

"What is the third brother talking about, the third brother has made a great contribution on this trip, and as the eldest brother, it is reasonable for me to come to greet him." Gu Jingyue smiled at this time, and then said.

Immediately, I saw Gu Mingxuan get down from the carriage, and then walked to Gu Jingyue.

"The third brother has worked this trip, and when I return to the palace, I, the eldest brother, must be alone to catch the wind and wash the dust." Gu Jingyue said tentatively at this time.

After Gu Mingxuan heard this, he responded, "The prince has spoken, how can I, as a younger brother, not agree?" ”

I saw Gu Mingxuan asking rhetorically at this time.

Hearing Gu Mingxuan say this, the prince couldn't help muttering in his heart.

From Gu Mingxuan's expression and tone, there was no flaw in it.

For a while, it was difficult for him to determine whether Gu Mingzi had picked up the token or not.

Then Gu Jingyue almost forced a smile in response.

Lin Mo and Wei Yun also dismounted at this time, led the people on the side of the horse, and then walked forward and greeted Gu Jingyue.

"It's an honor for us that the prince is outside the city." Wei Yun said at this time, and did not look at Gu Jingyue.

At this time, Gu Jingyue said with a smile, "Major General Lin has made meritorious efforts in suppressing bandits, and the three princes have won the battle again, and as the crown prince, it is reasonable that I can only sit and wait to listen to the news and come to greet me." ”

At this time, the big and small officials who came to greet them also rushed up, and then listened to them babbling and saying all kinds of nice things from their mouths.

Seeing this, Lin Mo, Wei Yun and Gu Mingxuan all pretended to smile and responded.

After greeting for a long time, they entered the imperial city, and then several people walked straight to the palace.

And Gu Jingyue, who was following behind, couldn't help but feel uneasy in his heart, although he didn't find out whether Gu Mingxuan had picked up the token in his words, but he couldn't be completely sure that it wasn't the token he picked up.

Now we can only take one step at a time.

Basilica.

Emperor Gu Youtian was already waiting for a few people in the main hall.

When Gonggong Li saw the figures of several people, he said to Gu Youtian with a smile, "Your Majesty, the crown prince has come over with the third prince and Major General Lin and his wife. ”

After hearing this, Gu Youtian sat up straight at this time, and then cleared his throat.

When he walked to the door of the main hall, Gu Jingyue stopped, and then said to a few people, "The emperor is waiting for you inside, and I will wait outside first." ”

Then he nodded, and then walked towards the main hall.

Walk to the middle of the main hall.

A few people knelt down.

"Long live the emperor, long live, long live!"

"Long live my father, long live, long live!"

"Quick, you guys hurry up." Seeing this, Gu Youtian hurriedly said at this time.

Then he said, "Gonggong Li, come and sit down." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Father-in-law Li responded, and then moved a chair from the side and put it behind a few people.

Seeing this, Lin Mo and the others thanked him, "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”

Then they all sat down.

I saw Gu Youtian first open his mouth and ask Lin Mo at this time, "You have made a great contribution to the suppression of bandits in Tianlong Mountain, and the surrounding villagers will have a good life in the future, I am very happy in my heart, come, tell me what reward you want?" ”

"Back to the emperor, Tianlong Mountain succeeded in suppressing bandits, we are all very happy, it is the responsibility of our Lin and Wei families to benefit the people, if it is said that rewards, I think we should give these to the homes of those soldiers who died this time, to settle their families." After hearing this, Wei Yun looked at Lin Mo at this time, and then spoke.

After hearing this, the emperor thought for a moment, and then nodded, "I didn't expect you to think so thoughtfully, since this is the case, then follow your wishes!" ”

Unexpectedly, Gu Youtian really agreed, Wei Yun was a little surprised, and then he arched his hand and said, "Thank you Emperor, I am here to thank the Emperor for those dead soldiers, the Emperor is benevolent." ”

After understanding the situation, Lin Mo and Wei Yun walked out of the palace first.

At this time, the three princes were left alone in the main hall.

"Xuan'er, do you have any complaints in your heart when I sent you to Biansai this time?" Gu Youtian sighed at this time, then looked at Gu Mingxuan and asked.

Hearing Gu Youtian say this, Gu Mingxuan hurriedly arched his hands, and then said, "Where is the father talking about this, being able to share the worries of the father and the emperor is what a son should do, how can a son have a complaint in his heart." ”

"You can think like this, my father is very comforted, you have all grown up." Seeing Gu Mingxuan so angry with me, Gu Youtian couldn't help but smile and nodded, and then said.

Then Gu Youtian asked again, "Why did you come back with Lin Mo and the others?" ”

"Back to my father, my sons can be fortunate to return, thanks to Major General Lin, if it weren't for them, I'm afraid that my sons would have become dead souls under the knife at this time." Gu Mingxuan said at this time.

Hear here. Gu Youtian frowned slightly, "How do you say this?" ”

"When Erchen arrived at Sunset Harbor, he was surrounded and intercepted, and he was helplessly trapped in the ravine, and I and the soldiers were starved of food for two days." Gu Mingxuan said this to Gu Youtian at this time.

Hearing this, Gu Youtian's face couldn't help but drop, and then he said, "There is such a thing?" ”

"Fortunately, Erchen knew that Major General Lin was suppressing bandits in Tianlong Mountain, and there was not much distance from Sunset Port, so Erchen tried to send a message to them, but fortunately, when he was in danger, Major General Lin arrived in time, and Erchen was able to survive, although so, he still sacrificed a lot of soldiers." Gu Mingxuan said, and at this time, his eyes couldn't help but sigh deeply.

Immediately, Gu Youtian said loudly, "Who the hell is so bold!" ”

"Erchen didn't dare to say it." Gu Mingxuan shook his head and said at this time.

Seeing Gu Mingxuan like this, Gu Youtian couldn't help frowning, "Why don't you dare to say it?" ”

"Father, please see." As he spoke, Gu Mingxuan took out the token from his body, and then walked forward and put it on the table in front of Gu Youtian.

Gu Youtian picked up the token at this time, and his face couldn't help but be full of anger.

Then he slapped the table hard.

"Father, the sons don't ask their fathers to make decisions for themselves, the sons just want their fathers to give an explanation to those dead soldiers, they desperately broke the enemy on the battlefield, and in the end they didn't expect to die in the hands of their own people, the sons are sad, if they have a spirit in the sky to know, they must be very sad." Gu Mingxuan said, his eyes were slightly red.

Hearing this, Gu Youtian closed his eyes and nodded, "This matter is a matter of our royal face, and we must not make it public." ”

"Father, what about the dead soldiers? That's it? If this is really the case, Erchen is unwilling! Seeing Gu Youtian say this, Gu Mingxuan couldn't help but hurriedly say.

I saw Gu Youtian looking at Gu Mingxuan at this time and shook his head, "Xuan'er misunderstood, I will handle this matter well and give an explanation to the families of all the dead soldiers." ”

"Since my father said this, my sons will be relieved, if they don't deal with it, they will hurt the hearts of the soldiers." Gu Mingxuan continued.

Gu Youtian looked at the token in his hand at this time, then looked at Gonggong Li on the side, and said coldly, "Go and call the prince to me." ”

"Yes." Gonggong Li responded, and then walked outside the hall.

At this time, Gu Youtian looked at Gu Mingxuan and said, "Running all the way, Xuan'er has worked hard, I will give you a satisfactory answer to this matter, you go back and rest first." ”

"Thank you father, the minister will retire first." Gu Mingxuan responded, and then walked out of the main hall.

When they walked to the door, Gu Mingxuan and Gu Jingyue met, Gu Jingyue glanced at the prince and walked out of the hall.

Just at this glance, Gu Jingyue screamed in her heart.

Then he walked to the middle of the main hall and bowed his hand.

"Father, your name is Erchen?" Gu Jingyue asked at this time.

I saw Gu Youtian throw the token in his hand directly in front of Gu Jingyue at this time, "Look at it, do you know this thing?" ”

"Recognize, this is the token of Erchen East Palace, I lost one of the tokens a few days ago, but I didn't expect it to appear here with my father." Gu Jingyue quibbled at this time.

The queen mother has already told him the way to deal with it, if the token is really picked up by the third prince, then just say that the token has been lost a long time ago, and bite it to death and not admit it.

Heard Gu Jingyue say this. Gu Youtian couldn't help but sneer, "The token has been lost a long time ago?" It happened to appear in the place where the third prince was killed? ”

"I really don't know about this son." Gu Jingyue then pretended to be confused and said.

Seeing this, Gu Youtian couldn't help but slap one hand on the table, "The prince means that he wants to say that someone stole your token, and then directed and acted in a play, the purpose of which is to blame the prince." ”

"Father is wise!" Seeing Gu Youtian say this, Gu Jingyue couldn't help but say.

Seeing this, Gu Youtian's heart couldn't help but rise with anger, "Does the prince think I'm a fool?" ”

"Father, the son has no such intention!" Hearing Gu Youtian say this, Gu Jingyue was shocked, and then quickly knelt down and said.

Gu Youtian said with a smile at this time, "You are really my good son, I just turned a blind eye to the things you did before, I didn't expect you to be so bold this time!" ”

"Father, son-in-law, ......" Seeing that Gu Youtian was angry, Gu Jingyue still wanted to explain.

But before he could finish speaking, Gu Youtian interrupted him, and then said, "The affairs in your hands will be handed over to the third prince for the time being, when will you reflect on it, and when will you take it over." ”

"Father, son, son, ......" Hearing this, Gu Jingyue's heart couldn't help but tighten.

Father means that he doesn't trust him anymore, if he hands over the things in his hands to Gu Mingxuan to do, then he will take over in the future, I'm afraid it will be difficult.

But before he could finish speaking, Gu Youtian put his hand on his forehead, and then waved his hand.

Gong Li on the side understood, and then walked up to Gu Jingyue, "Prince, the emperor is tired." ”
