Chapter 46
A few days later, Zhao Yanshen raised the issue of Gu Huan's transfer in the court, and many ministers did not understand why he could not get along with a third-grade military attache stationed abroad.
Now, many people have inquired, and they all know that Gu Huan is the son of Gu Xian, some people also know that she is actually a woman, and a few people know that she is Duan Shao's daughter, and they also know that she once fought side by side with Gao Changgong, the king of Lanling, in the Battle of Luoyang last year, until she reached the foot of Jin Yong City, and then turned around and rushed out, killing the enemy and fleeing, thus saving the fate of the land of Qi being annexed by the Zhou State. She is not only a hero, but she has never participated in the dispute between friends in the court, Duan Shao is the father of the Qi State, and several generations of emperors have respected him very much, there is no need to provoke such a person. They were all puzzled, why did Zhao Yanshen, a literati who usually only knew how to dance and write, suddenly attack a military attachΓ©?
There was a lot of discussion in the court, and He Shikai finally spoke, and the final word was made: "General Gu Huan Gu accompanied his father Gu Xian and General Gu to guard the border pass for many years, repeatedly repelled Turkic invasions, was born and died, contributed to the country, and made miraculous achievements in relieving the siege of Luoyang. Today, the border pass is a little quiet, General Gu Xiao is only seventeen years old, Lord Duan took pity on his youth, so he was transferred to serve under the account of the king of Lanling, one is to praise the military affairs, and the other is to recuperate. Let me ask you, ministers, who has no children? Who doesn't love their children? Now, General Gu is still sticking to the border and defending my country, his children are not at fault, but they have to be blamed for some unwarranted accusations, how can people be embarrassed? Gu Huan is a general under the account of King Lanling, why not live with him? How can it be sinned? β
His righteous and stern words immediately won the strong support of Gao Anaqiu, Qi Lianmeng, Hu Changcan, Mu Ti Po and others. These people were all powerful people in the court, and most of the courtiers did not dare to disobey their will. Moreover, Gu Huan's fathers, Gu Xian and Duan Shao, are both upright, loyal and commendable, even Geng Jie's people also agree with them, so naturally they will not embarrass them. Suddenly, Zhao Yanshen was lonely and could not do anything.
A few days later, the ten-year-old little emperor issued two edicts.
A sent to Gu Xian, who was stationed in Pingcheng, Hengzhou: "The champion general Gu Xian guarded the border passes, repeatedly defeated strong enemies, and ensured that the land of Daqi was not lost, and the people were peaceful, which was actually the pillar of the country. β
The other was for Zhao Yanshen, who removed him from his post as the left servant of Shangshu, changed his title to Liangzhou Assassin History, and set off for Chen Liu, the Liangzhou Governance Office, to take office on the same day. Obviously, this is a demotion. Liangzhou is the inferior state of Northern Qi, according to the recommendation system of Qi, Liangzhou can only recommend talents once every three years, which shows its low status. In addition, Liangzhou lived in the hinterland of Qi State, and the military requirements for the chief officials of a state were not high, so most of them were civilian officials. As one of the eight nobles, Zhao Yanshen was exiled here, not only reminding people of Yuan Wenyao, who was also one of the eight nobles, but also served as the left servant of Shangshu, because he participated in the plot to denigrate and Shikai, and was exiled as the assassin of Western Yanzhou, and the day of returning to the dynasty is far away, and there is no future at all.
The ministers of the DPRK and the Central Committee all knew that these two holy edicts were actually the meaning of He Shikai, so naturally no one raised objections, let alone mentioned the matter of transferring Gu Huan away. It's just that some people can't help but be surprised, how can the monk meet to protect Gu Huan with all his might? Did you want to show favor to Duan Shao with this?
This disturbance soon spread from Yecheng to the border pass, and also to Yidu.
Gao Changgong took the letter sent by the third brother Gao Xiaoheng and the fifth brother Gao Yanzong, knocked lightly on the table, thought for a long time, and then raised his head and asked the captain next to him: "This Zhao Yanshen originally had nothing to do with us as well water and not river water, so he had no stake at all, why should he not get along with General Gu?" β
Wei Xiangyuan was also confused, but his expression was very calm: "The last general doesn't know the reason, but you can ask someone to inquire." β
"Okay." Gao Changgong nodded, a little eagerly. "I want to hear it as soon as possible, I don't want her to be in any danger, and I want to eliminate all potential threats in advance."
"General Gu?" Wei Xiangyuan looked thoughtful. "The prince has a deep affection for General Gu, which is admirable. If General Gu was just an ordinary woman, this was just a private matter of the prince and had nothing to do with others. But General Gu is an official of the imperial court, and like us, his net worth and life belong to the emperor, and the prince wants to protect her, but he is afraid that it will take a lot of effort. β
Gao Changgong didn't want to think about it, so he said: "Do your best, I will definitely protect her." In this life, I live with her, and die together, there is nothing to consider. β
"Yes, the Admiral understands." Wei Xiangyuan's categorical words for him were deeply shocked, and he immediately clenched his fists and said firmly. "The last general will inquire about this, and he will definitely help the prince and protect the general."
"Good. Wish, you and I have fought side by side under the city of Kim Yong in Luoyang, and have become confidants. I'll leave this matter to you, and I want you to bother more. Gao Changgong smiled and then turned to the topic. How well is the army trained. β
Wei Xiangyuan said cautiously: "I think at least I can make the prince see it." If they want to become elites, they have to step up their training, and after half a year, they should be able to become the division of tigers and wolves. β
"Good." Gao Changgong groaned. "After the Battle of Luoyang last year, Zhou Guo has been standing still, it is estimated that his vitality is seriously injured, and he needs to rest well, and he will not violate my border again in a short time. The Khitan also pays for it every year, and it comes to the court every year. The northern border was guarded by General Gu for several years, and the Turks were never able to enter the Great Wall, so there is no cause for concern. During this time, it is just a good time to train troops. Hopefully, you're going to have to spend a little more time. In the future, once the Zhou State invades the border, or the Turks attack, the team here will also be transferred to the border to meet the enemy, and it is impossible to be careless. β
"I understand, please rest assured, lord." Wei Xiangyuan said calmly. "The last general used to guard Luoyang, knowing that the Zhou country was powerful, and he has always been eyeing me Daqi, and the Turks are even more jackal-minded, and often invade our border counties, so we must always be vigilant and not relax for a day."
"Well said." Gao Changgong said appreciatively. "Yes, with your help, I am very relieved."
"Thank you for the cultivation of the prince, the end will be broken to pieces, and I will not give up." Wei Xiang was willing to clasp his fists and salute, and after Gao Changgong nodded in agreement, he turned around and retreated.
Gao Changgong sat alone in the room, looking at the faint sunlight outside the door, and thought quietly.
Gu Huan walked in, walked straight to him, and said softly, "Don't be bothered, this matter has nothing to do with the battle in the court." β
Gao Changgong turned to look at her: "What's the reason for that?" You don't know Zhao Yanshen at all, why did he target you? β
"I received letters from my father and stepfather. My father didn't understand what was going on, but my father-in-law knew very well. Gu Huan sighed. That Zhao Yanshen is Concubine Zheng's uncle and grandfather, and few people know about this. His sister's daughter married into the Zheng family in Xingyang that year and gave birth to three daughters, the first two children died at an early age, and only the youngest daughter grew up and became your princess. β
Gao Changgong was slightly stunned, and then he understood, and couldn't help but be very surprised, and then said angrily: "Just for some children's personal affairs, he made a fuss like that in the court?" As a scholar's left servant, it is simply unorthodox. β
Gu Huan was silent for a while, and said softly: "It is estimated that Zhao Yanshen may have a deep relationship with his sister, so he also loves his niece's daughter." In addition, he is a well-known defender, and I guess Concubine Zheng did not explain to him that I am a woman when she wrote the letter, so he thinks that we are people from Longyang, and it is a great rebellion, which will cause trouble in the court. β
"Well, it's quite possible." Gao Changgong frowned. "I really didn't expect Concubine Zheng to do this. To tell the truth, in our family, there are too many brothers who have snubbed their original partners, and their princesses have always kept to themselves, stayed in the palace of the fiefdom and lived a good life, there is always glory and wealth, and they live quite comfortably. Not only the royal family, but also their Xingyang Zheng family, the family also has three wives and four concubines, most of the wives who are married are just a name, and the favored ones are still beautiful concubines after all, Concubine Zheng's father has three concubines, and several big maids who are waiting in the inner hall also have to take turns to sleep, if they give birth to a child, they will be taken as a partial room. Many people in their Zheng clan are like this, and everyone thinks that it is right. Why did this Concubine Zheng make so many famous halls? It's only been less than a year since she passed the door, and she always holds the princess's shelf, and she is very virtuous on the surface, which makes people uncomfortable, it's really troublesome. β
"It's not easy for her, as soon as she got married, she was snubbed by her husband, and it is understandable that she felt wronged." Gu Huan sighed lightly. It stands to reason that she was born and raised in such a family, she should be familiar with such things, she has been prepared for a long time, and she should be able to accept such a reality. I don't understand, how could she do such a thing and make trouble in the court, could it be that someone behind her instigation? Or, it was she who wrote to her father and mother to complain about her grievances, and her father and mother wanted to borrow Zhao Yanshen's hand to transfer me away from your side to prevent future troubles. β
Gao Changgong made a straight face and said angrily: "When I married her, I gave her a name, but I never promised to have a love with her." I have fulfilled my promise to make her a princess, and I have to wronged you, but she has to look forward to Shu and wants you to leave me, which is simply unreasonable. Such a woman is so annoying that I never want to see her again. β
Gu Huan frowned slightly, thought for a while, and then sighed: "Changgong, don't be too angry." Concubine Zheng is young, you tell her well, find a way to send her back to Lanling, that's it. β
As they were talking, someone suddenly burst in. The two turned their heads and couldn't help but be taken aback: "Gao Ming? β
Gu Huan suddenly woke up, his face changed greatly, and he asked anxiously: "Gao Ming, is there something wrong with my eldest brother?" β
"Exactly, General Han has had a big incident, he has been arrested and imprisoned, and he is in danger." Gao Ming hurried back day and night, dusty and exhausted, but he still persevered and quickly explained what happened.
