() Gu Yuan was used to Zhang Cheng being by his side, and he had to ask Zhang Cheng's opinion for anything.

"I think that after decades of cultivation, our Shengwu Dynasty already has the strength to fight with the demon clan. I am in favor of sending troops to completely solve the scourge of the demon race, our human race. ”

"Do you have any opinions?" Gu Yuan asked Taifu again.

"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that what the national teacher said is reasonable, and I agree."

Although Taifu is a civil servant, he also wants to solve the scourge of the demon clan's task as soon as possible.

"Since Yafu and Taifu have no opinions, let's send troops. Over the years, our Shengwu Dynasty has also trained a lot of fragmentary soldiers. Send the order down and inform the Suzaku Legion, the Qilin Legion, and the Xuanwu Legion. The three major corps marched to Xizhou and accepted the command of Marshal Lu Chongming. ”

Today, each of the six legions has expanded to 500,000 men. The entire Shengwu Dynasty had a full 3.5 million soldiers.

These are only the directly subordinate armies of the Shengwu Dynasty, not including the Jinyi Guard, the annexed sect forces.

If these people were all added up, the available combat power of the Shengwu Dynasty would be close to 5 million.

Fortunately, Zhang Cheng brought hybrid rice and opened a treaty port with the Hai tribe. There are enough weapons and food to feed such a large army.

"Yes."

Bingbu Shangshu said.

At this time, Taifu stood up: "Your Majesty, the minister still has something to report." ”

Hearing this, Gu Yuan had a little headache, he knew what Taifu was going to say. Although I didn't want to hear it, since Taifu had spoken, he naturally couldn't help but let him say it.

Gu Yuan forcibly put out a little smile: "Taifu Qing said." ”

"Your Majesty, you are 22 years old this year, and it is time to get married. I think that when the emperor was at this age, His Majesty was already old. The minister asked His Majesty to get married, and then gave birth to the crown prince, with the hearts of the subjects of the Shengwu Dynasty. ”

Taifu once again said that Gu Yuan got married, since Gu Yuan was 18 years old, Taifu has been urging marriage, and he has been urging him to this day.

Taifu basically urged marriage every 3 months. In the past, Gu Yuan could still say that he was young, not old enough to get married. But now, he is 22 years old, and he can no longer use this excuse.

"This, Taifu, I am still young, under the age of marriage." Gu Yuan said this sentence strongly.

"Your Majesty, it's not small. Our Shengwu Dynasty generally got married at the age of 18, and the royal family got married even earlier. You're 22 years old this year, and you're going to get married today. ”

"Taifu, but I can't find a suitable queen." Gu Yuan hurriedly said.

"Then draft the world, and order the Taishou of Gezhou County to select suitable local show girls and send them to the palace."

Hearing Taifu say this, Gu Yuan knew that Taifu was serious today, and if he didn't set his life's events, he would really let the draft girl.

Gu Yuan looked at Zhang Cheng: "Father, I." ”

Zhang Cheng understood what Gu Yuan meant, and he wanted to let himself help him speak and get through this pass.

At this time, Taifu spoke: "Your Majesty, you don't need to ask for help from the national teacher, this is a lifelong event for Your Majesty, and it is also a major event about the future of the Shengwu Dynasty." The national teacher will not refuse. ”

Zhang Cheng nodded and said: "Taifu is right, Yuan'er, when the man is married, the woman should be married, and you should indeed get married." ”

"Father!" At this time, Gu Yuan was dumbfounded, he didn't know why Zhang Cheng would say this.

And what Zhang Cheng thought was very simple, and Zhang Cheng naturally understood Gu Yuan's intentions. Since Gu Yuan was a child, he has always liked Bai Yulian.

However this guy, something else

is very bold in love, but in the love between men and women, the timid are pitiful. He was reluctant to tell Bai Yulian what he thought.

And Bai Yulian's feelings for Gu Yuan have never been very clear. Zhang Cheng, as a master, can't interfere too much in the relationship between men and women.

But now, the human race is about to go to war with the demon race. After the end of the war, Zhang Cheng will definitely leave this world. He wanted to find a place for his apprentices to settle down.

Gu Yuan was taught by Zhang Cheng since he was a child, and Zhang Cheng knows his character very well. is a man who can be relied on, and Bai Yulian will not suffer if she marries him.

"Yuan'er, this matter should have been established a long time ago. Taifu is right, I can only agree with this matter. ”

"Father, you know my mind, I can't be drafted." Gu Yuan was in a hurry and said all these words.

"I know, but it's not enough to have a heart. If you don't take the initiative, do you still want the person you love to take the initiative? ”

"But I'm afraid that it will reject me, and I'm afraid that our relationship in the future will become embarrassing."

Taifu also understood at this time that Gu Yuan had someone he liked in his heart, but he didn't dare to confess.

"I don't know which family of girls can get His Majesty's favor, this is her blessing, how can she not want to."

"Emotional matters can't be forced, they still need their juniors to deal with it themselves." Zhang Cheng said.

Although what Taifu said just now is in line with this era, in Zhang Cheng's ears, it is a little behind.

Hearing Zhang Cheng's words, Taifu also understood that Gu Yuan should have fallen in love with his senior sister or junior sister.

"Your Majesty, I'll give you 1 month. Otherwise, you're going to have to prepare for the draft. ”

Sometimes, if he didn't force Gu Yuan once, he didn't know what he should do.

"One month, this is too short. Can it be three months, Taifu. ”

"No, it's not negotiable." Taifu said.

"I also think that there is no problem with Taifu's words, and this matter is settled." Zhang Cheng said.

Zhang Cheng and Taifu said this, Gu Yuan knew that this matter had become a foregone conclusion, and he had no way to refuse.

"Well, I got it."

In fact, Gu Yuan had always wanted to reveal his heart to Bai Yulian, and he had never had enough confidence, but now, he already knew what he should do.

"Retreat."

Gu Yuan said this, then stood up and walked out of the main hall.

Sun Wuyan hurriedly followed with the eunuchs.

Soon, all the civil and military officials left.

Taifu looked at Zhang Cheng and said, "National Teacher, I didn't expect it, Your Majesty actually likes the disciples in your house, I don't know if it's his senior sister or junior sister?" Or rather, both of them like it. ”

"It's Xiaolian, Yuan'er told me when I was a child that he likes Xiaolian, I thought it was just a joke, but I didn't expect him to be serious."

"Growing up together, it is normal for His Majesty, who lacks maternal love, to fall in love with his senior sister who is good to him. The white girl is not related to His Majesty by blood, and she is the master of the national teacher. In terms of birth and strength, she is qualified to be a queen. I don't think there is a problem with this matter, and I can inform the Ministry of Rites to prepare for the wedding ceremony. ”

Taifu said with a smile, in his opinion, this matter is already a certainty.

"I'm afraid Xiaolian won't survive her own level." Zhang Cheng shook his head and said.

"National teacher, what do you mean?"

"I hope Yuan'er can untie Xiaolian's heart knot."

Zhang Cheng knew that Bai Yulian was lost because of himself

In this matter, I have always had some inferiority complex in my heart and dare not face my feelings. At present, I can only hope that Gu Yuan can untie Bai Yulian's heart knot.

Time flies, and the next day arrives in the blink of an eye.

The order given by Gu Yuan has been passed on through the Jinyi Guard. And he himself came to the Askist House.

The course ended 2 years ago, and now Zhang Cheng doesn't have to go to the palace to give lessons to Gu Yuan every day.

Therefore, Gu Yuan didn't have a lot of time to see Bai Yulian.

"Go ahead, Xiaolian is taking care of the Yuanyang fruit tree in the backyard, seize the opportunity." Zhang Cheng said.

"Father, don't you object to me, I like Senior Sister?" Gu Yuan asked.

"You were raised by me since I was a child, I still know what kind of character you have, hand over Xiaolian to you, I don't worry, go quickly."

"Okay, thank you, Father."

Hearing Zhang Cheng's words, Gu Yuan smiled and ran to the backyard.

Looking at the back of Gu Yuan leaving, Xun Mu suddenly said: "The love of young people is really enviable. ”

"Yes, the love of young people. I didn't expect that I would pass the age of a young man before I knew it. Now I'm also an uncle in my 30s. ”

Zhang Cheng smiled self-deprecatingly and sighed at his age.

"Lord, don't look at you in your 30s now, for many divine beasts, it's just a juvenile stage where you haven't even opened your eyes."

"Sister Xun, don't just comfort me. I'm just lamenting that there's nothing else. Speaking of divine beasts, let's take a look at the divine beasts of our Chengdao Temple, these two little guys should be about to transform. ”

Asking the backyard, Bai Yulian was using Yuan Li to enhance the spirituality of the Yuanyang Fruit Tree.

Gu Yuan tiptoed over and blindfolded Bai Yulian: "Guess who I am." ”

Bai Yulian said with a smile: "Senior brother, don't make trouble. I knew it was you from the moment you stepped into the backyard. Aren't you in the palace today, dealing with government affairs? ”

Nowadays, a lot of government affairs are handled by Gu Yuan, so Gu Yuan does not have a lot of time.

"How can I be upset by the trouble I am experiencing now?"

"What, junior brother, you are the emperor, how can you still be in trouble?"

"Senior sister, you don't know, Taifu is mentioning the matter of getting me married again. Moreover, if I don't promise him this time, he will give me a draft. I don't even know what to do now. ”

"Isn't the draft bad? The beauties of the world, you can choose. Bai Yulian's tone was very flat, as if it had nothing to do with her.

"It's not good, I've never seen those women, and I don't have an emotional foundation, how can I marry them."

"Senior brother, if you don't want to get married, you can still use the previous excuse, and he will help you."

"No, this time my father also made me ready to get married."

"How is this possible? How could Shizun agree to such a thing. ”

Bai Yulian couldn't believe that Zhang Cheng, who advocated free marriage, would agree to such a thing.

"It's true, senior sister, so I don't even know what I'm going to do now. Draft, I really don't want it. ”

After hearing that Zhang Cheng also agreed to let Gu Yuan prepare to get married, Bai Yulian's heart was a little confused for a while. She didn't know why her heart was messed up.

"Senior brother, don't you really want to get married?"

"No, senior sister, I think."

"You want to?" At this moment, Bai Yulian felt her heart ache.

Suddenly, Gu Yuan hugged Bai Yulian into his arms: "Senior sister, the person I want to marry me is you." Don't you understand my mind? ”
