Gu Junyan was stunned, looking at her wise and clear eyes, she was shocked, "You mean, cutting troops?!" ”

Su Yunlai nodded: "The incident of this heavy rain has made Your Majesty scared, you look at the group of old ministers who are shouting one by one to let Your Majesty issue an edict to punish himself, Your Majesty must be annoyed, he really wants to take back the military power, so he has more confidence." ”

And once Li Sheng wants to start to take back the military power, the first thing to touch is the interests of the Gu family, and the conflict between Li Sheng and the Gu family is inevitable in the future, so Li Sheng will appear at the full moon ceremony of the small group, which is to pave the way for future conflicts.

That's why when Li Sheng enters the door today, he will say, 'He is here to come to his uncle's house', which means to tell the Gu family that although he is the emperor, he is also Gu Yanshan's nephew, and there will be conflicts between the two sides in the future, which will not change.

Gu Junyan's eyes were deep, if that day really came, wouldn't his identity really change?

After the full moon ceremony of Xiao Tuanzi, Su Zhan had already set off for Jiangnan.

Not long after Su Zhan left, Li Sheng made a big order to start reducing troops, and the court made a fuss because of this matter, although there was a lot of noise before, but Li Sheng has not expressed his position, but Xu Guanyi advocated it alone, and now Li Sheng clearly supports Xu Guanyi's proposition.

This time, no one in the court quarreled, Gu Yanshan strongly opposed the proposal of disarmament in the court, he and Li Sheng were at loggerheads, and the ministers were so frightened that no one dared to say a word.

Now everyone has only discovered the benefits of Su Zhan, when Su Zhan was there before, he could still help persuade him, after all, he was pampered and arrogant, but now that Su Zhan is gone, no one dares to provoke Li Sheng who is angry.

"I've made up my mind! The matter of reducing troops is so decided! Old General Gu don't persuade anymore, the holy decree has been issued, and it is difficult to change it! Li Sheng said with a tough attitude.

Gu Yanshan looked at Li Sheng's eyes with a sense of pain and disappointment, and finally he arched his hand, then turned around and left, and then, Gu Yanshan said that he was sick and no longer went to court.

Gu Junyan did the same, and he also complained of illness at home, and he didn't care about military affairs.

The Gu family has been in the army for several generations, without the cooperation of the Gu family, if Li Sheng wants to disarm, it is impossible to do it, the orders above are one thing, and the people below are not carrying out the implementation is another, even if it drags on for a year and a half, Li Sheng can't help it.

There was an uproar in the court, and the Su family also made a commotion.

Su Yunlai chuckled in his heart, thinking that Mrs. Su was embarrassed by the Chen family, but it turned out that this matter had nothing to do with the Chen family.

Jun Yao had a gloating smile on her face, laughing so hard that her stomach hurt.

Su Yunlai looked helpless: "What's wrong at home?" Is my mother okay? ”

Jun Yao nodded again and again, laughed for a while, and then gasped and said, "Miss, don't worry, Mrs. is fine, it's not our second room, it's the fourth room!" ”

Su Yunlai was stunned, and Jun Yao said vividly: "Miss, don't you know, I heard that the fifth young grandmother and her mother's cousin have put an end to it, and they were caught and raped in bed by the fifth young master!" Now the fifth young master is clamoring to divorce his wife, and the fifth young grandmother is clamoring to hang herself, but she didn't die, she was saved by the maid, and now she is lying in bed to recuperate, saying that she refuses to leave. ”

Su Yunlai was stunned, in the previous life, Du Yue'e also had an adulterous affair with her cousin, at that time, Su Zhan was ashamed and angry to death for this matter, but Mrs. Su was jealous of the power of the Du family and did not allow Su Zhan to divorce his wife.

Later, in order to settle this matter, Du Jiaxu gave Mrs. Su a lot of benefits, and also arranged a real official position for Su Zhimin.

In this life, because Li Sheng ascended the throne, the Chen family, which was backed by the Du family, also fell, and its power was not as good as in the previous life, but I didn't expect that even so, Du Yue'e still hooked up with her cousin, and this time, I don't know if anyone else can save her!

Thinking of this, Su Yunlai felt a little inexplicable in his heart, it turned out that some fates really couldn't be changed.

"What's the situation with the Su family now?" Su Yunlai asked.

Jun Yao pouted: "What can I do, the fourth wife is so angry, the fifth young master is determined to divorce his wife, but the fifth young grandmother is sick and crooked, and she won't get up when she lies on the bed, so she can't be thrown out, right?" The fifth young master went to Lingyun Courtyard every day, saying that it was because of Mrs. Su that he would marry such a woman, and now the old lady was so noisy that she fell ill, and the family was in chaos. ”

If something happened to the Su family, Mrs. Su naturally didn't have the energy to embarrass the Chen family.

It's just that Chen and Su Zhixun are at Su's house, Su Yunlai is still a little uneasy, Xiao Tuanzi woke up, kicked his calves and screamed, Su Yun came back to his senses and hurriedly picked up Xiao Tuanzi.

"Well, mother, hug me." Xiao Tuanzi had just woken up, leaning on Su Yunlai's shoulder socket without much energy.

Xiaobao ran in from outside after practicing, he was very interested in Xiaotuanzi, although he didn't know why his younger brother had become his younger sister.

"Qing'er, call brother." Xiaobao looked at Xiao Tuanzi seriously and said.

Su Yunlai smiled: "Xiaobao, my sister is still young, and she can't speak yet." ”

Can't even speak?

Xiaobao was stunned: "Then she is so stupid!" ”

Su Yunlai: "......"

As if knowing that he was disgusted, Xiao Tuanzi turned his head and squirted a mouthful of saliva at Xiaobao, Xiaobao touched his face and couldn't believe it: "She actually sprayed me!" ”

Su Yunlai couldn't help but turn his head away, but he still educated his little group: "Don't spray brother, bad ball." ”

Xiao Tuanzi pursed her mouth, just as Gu Junyan walked in at this time, her eyes lit up, and she immediately opened her hand at Gu Junyan, making a babbling sound with unknown meaning.

Gu Jun stretched out his hand and hugged her, but Xiao Tuanzi patted Gu Junyan's head and screamed.

This is a game that only Gu Junyan can take her to play, Gu Junyan always likes to lift Xiao Tuanzi to his neck and run around with her, although Xiao Tuanzi is small, but he is very courageous, and he will giggle every time he is lifted high.

This trick is a trick to cure the crying of the small group.

Su Yunlai didn't want Gu Junyan to spoil her all the time, so he kept stopping Gu Junyan from taking her to play like this.

Gu Junyan saw Xiao Tuanzi's dependent expression, so he instinctively lifted the child up.

Su Yunlai hurriedly stopped: "Don't take her to make trouble, I don't know when I developed a problem, I cry if I don't hold it, how can it be so delicate." ”

"My daughter, it's okay to be delicate." Gu Junyan said indifferently: "She likes to be held, so it's okay to hold it, I'll ask Uncle Zhong to find two nurses back tomorrow." ”

Su Yunlai was so angry: "I have found the Lord, are you so accustomed to children?" ”

Gu Junyan couldn't help but say strangely: "I'm used to being called a child?" Your standards are too strict, do you see the county lord of Anning, that's pampered, our family Qing'er doesn't know how well-behaved and cute, isn't it? ”

Su Yunlai said angrily: "If you continue like this, your daughter may grow into the second Anning County Lord!" ”

Lord Anning: "?? "What did she do wrong? Why bring her?

Gu Junyan looked unimpressed, in his opinion, Su Yunlai made a little fuss, but in the matter of educating Xiao Tuanzi, Su Yunlai would not let Gu Junyan go, and directly snatched Xiao Tuanzi over.

"Don't lift high, be obedient, play by yourself." Su Yunlai put Xiao Tuanzi on the bed, and then took a rattle to attract Xiao Tuanzi's attention.

Xiao Tuanzi didn't get the heart to lift high, and he cried out.

Gu Junyan was so distressed that she wanted to hug her again without saying a word, but was stopped by Su Yunlai, "Jun Yao, Xiaobao, you look at Qing'er," After a pause, she looked at Gu Junyan: "I have something to tell you." ”

"Can you wait and talk, Qing'er, Qing'er is crying." Gu Junyan couldn't hide his distress and said.

"Then let her cry! I just want her to know since she was a child, if she doesn't cry, she can get anything, and if she cries now, you have to hug her, and what if she grows up? Do you think that you can get what you want by crying? Su Yun said, "You can't give her this habit." ”

Gu Junyan felt that Su Yunlai was making a bit of a fuss, how big was the little group, how could he know so much? However, seeing Su Yunlai's serious face, he didn't dare to say anything.

Xiao Tuanzi cried for a while, and when she saw that her mother and father didn't come to coax her, it was boring to cry alone, so she sniffled and started playing rattle by herself.

Su Yunlai also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, so he mentioned Su Zhixun's matter to Gu Junyan: "I think about it, let's let my father leave the capital like my third brother, the situation in the capital is complicated after all." ”

The relationship between the Gu family and Li Sheng has also been very delicate recently, the Gu family had no relatives before, Gu Yanshan's only sister died, and a nephew left behind became the emperor, and after Gu Junyan's mother died, he had no contact with his grandfather's family.

However, after Su Yunlai entered the door, the Su family became the Gu family's in-laws, the Su family was not a fuel-efficient lamp, Su Yunlai was worried that someone would use Su Zhixun to attack the Gu family.

Gu Junyan thought about it and understood her concern, so she nodded: "It's okay, in a few days, I will find an opportunity to transfer my father-in-law out of Beijing." After a pause, he hesitated and said: "In fact, the reconstruction work in Xuzhou is short of manpower, my father-in-law knows the situation in Xuzhou very well, and it is appropriate for him to go to Xuzhou. ”

Su Yunlai immediately said: "What's the bitterness, where is there no bitterness as an official, anyway, he won't care about it." ”

Gu Junyan nodded: "Okay, I'll arrange it tomorrow." ”

Su Yunlai finally relieved, and then said: "There is also the matter of reducing troops, it is not a way for my father to be in a stalemate with His Majesty all the time, the longer it is, the greater Your Majesty's determination to reduce troops." ”

Gu Junyan paused, and then said: "Ah Wan, I understand what you mean, but my father can't retreat, not only him, but also the Gu family, once the Gu family retreats, how will they face those brothers who were born and died together in the future?" ”

Su Yunlai thought for a while, and then said: "Actually, now that the four seas are leveling, it is normal for His Majesty to want to cut troops, those soldiers are dying on the battlefield, and let them return to their families, isn't it good?" ”

Gu Junyan was silent for a moment, and then said, "Dad will make a decision on this matter." ”

Su Yunlai nodded.

Gu Yanshan said that he was sick at home, and the reduction of troops was obstructed by many parties, and Li Sheng lost his temper in the imperial study.

Xu Guanyi looked at the angry Li Sheng silently on the side, and after a long time, after Li Sheng calmed down a little, he said: "Your Majesty, things have come to this point, Your Majesty can only be tough to the end, General Gu dares to treat him so negatively, isn't it just that Your Majesty can't do without him?" If Your Majesty compromises this time, Your Majesty will have no prestige in speaking in the court in the future. ”

It is about the dignity of the emperor and cannot be violated, if Li Sheng gives in this time, he will only lose face, and he will leave a cowardly and weak image to the Manchu civil and military, and all the ministers will be attached to the Gu family, after all, even the emperor has made concessions to the Gu family, let alone others? In this way, the power of the Gu family will be further expanded.

This is what Li Sheng doesn't want to see no matter what, so even if the resistance to the reduction is so great, he still gritted his teeth and didn't take a step back.

"I know all this! But now the matter of reducing troops cannot proceed! What can I do? Li Sheng couldn't help but say angrily.

Xu Guanyi was silent for a moment, and then said: "Your Majesty, you still need to tie the bell to unlock the bell, and this matter can only start from General Gu." ”

Li Sheng raised his eyebrows and looked at him: "What good way do you have?" ”

Xu Guanyi said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, according to the minister's opinion, Your Majesty can't force Old General Gu, you can only move him with affection." ”

Li Sheng was stunned: "You can talk about it." ”

Xu Guanyi: "Old General Gu is a man of temperament, what can move him is not the weighing of pros and cons, but the flesh and blood affection between His Majesty and Old General Gu!" General Gu has always loved His Majesty, and His Majesty is not afraid to let go of his identity as an emperor and reason with General Gu, which may have an unexpected effect. ”

Li Sheng's brows frowned slightly: "It's just taking advantage of my uncle's feelings, it's not good......

"Your Majesty," Xu Guanyi interrupted him with a smile: "It's just a disarmament, without the support of General Gu, Your Majesty is so difficult, it is difficult to move an inch, forgive the minister's words, this time General Gu forced His Majesty to come here, relying on His Majesty's scruple about the maintenance of the Gu family, so he will be so pampered and arrogant, otherwise if you ask the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, who would dare to go against Your Majesty like this?" ”

Li Sheng's expression was serious, Xu Guanyi's words were very straightforward, that is, he was saying that he connived at the Gu family, which is why Gu Yanshan was so unscrupulous.

Xu Guanyi said again: "Your Majesty's kindness and generosity, if General Gu thinks that Your Majesty is weak and easy to bully, it will not live up to Your Majesty's good intentions." ”

As soon as Xu Guan finished speaking, he didn't persuade him more, and finally said: "Your Majesty, the matter of reducing troops is already on the line, and it has to be sent, please make a decision as soon as possible!" ”

Li Sheng was silent for a while, and then waved his hand, Xu Guan and his party bowed and retreated, but he always paid attention to the movements in the palace, and when he heard that Li Sheng quietly left the palace and went to the general's mansion, he couldn't help but hook the corners of his lips, it seems that the matter has been successful.

Li Sheng went to the General's Mansion in person, when Gu Yanshan was fishing in the back garden, Li Sheng sat next to him and also fished with a fishing rod.

When a fish was hooked, Li Sheng immediately took the fish basket next to him and handed it over.

Gu Yanshan sighed slightly, "Jun Yan always can't sit still, he has never accompanied me to fish, only you are not boring, and you are always pestering me to go fishing." ”

Li Sheng smiled lightly: "Actually, my uncle doesn't know, it's because I envy Jun Yan, who can get along so closely with my father, and I don't have a father, only when I fish, Jun Yan won't come with me, so I thought, when fishing, I can treat my uncle as my father temporarily." ”

Gu Yanshan looked at the astringency in Li Sheng's eyes, he was already an emperor!

Li Sheng smiled: "Because of the reduction of troops, my uncle blames me, right?" ”

Gu Yanshan didn't speak, and Li Sheng continued: "I admit that I am too eager for this matter, but that's it, I want to prove that I am an emperor too much, I can be a good emperor, I know that my uncle will be unhappy about the reduction of troops, but I am really for the people, for the sake of the country." After a pause, he said: "Maybe I also have a little selfishness, hoping that I can establish my authority through this matter, I chose to target the Gu family, probably because I think that even if I do this, my uncle will support me as before......

Gu Yanshan looked at Li Sheng like this, and suddenly remembered the panicked child back then, no one could trust, only himself, living carefully, with an infinitely noble identity, but no one loved him.

It's just that, he's his uncle, if he doesn't love him, who loves him?

"Are you really for Jiangshan Sheji?" Gu Yanshan asked.

That's what consent means!

Li Sheng couldn't wait to nod his head: "It's true!" Guanyi's recital is written very clearly, all veterans will be properly settled, let them return to the countryside, and live a stable life, what's wrong? ”

Gu Yanshan sighed, "That's it, you are the emperor, and the last general can only obey the order." ”

"Thank you, uncle!" Li Sheng called movingly.

Gu Yanshan patted him on the shoulder and walked away with his hands behind his back.

Li Sheng looked at his back, hooked the corners of his lips, and his eyes were shining.

The reduction of troops, with Gu Yanshan's acquiescence, went very smoothly, which surprised many people, but they didn't expect Li Sheng to grasp sovereignty so easily and let Gu Yanshan make concessions.

Su Zhan went to Jiangnan, and Li Sheng only had Xu Guanyi as a capable minister by his side, and after this incident, Li Sheng trusted Xu Guanyi even more.

At this time, Xu Guanyi can be said to be the only one around Li Sheng.

On this day, Su Yunlai was playing with Xiao Tuanzi at home, the earth dragon in the room was full of burning, Xiao Tuanzi was wearing a red single clothes, sitting on the kang, holding the puppet doll made for her by her father, grinning happily, and suddenly received the will of the queen mother in the palace, announcing that she and Xiao Tuanzi entered the palace.

Su Yunlai frowned slightly, she still remembered Yun Huanting's malice towards herself, so she had always avoided entering the palace, but she didn't expect that this time Yun Huanting actually directly ordered her to enter the palace.

Su Yunlai asked people to clean up their things, and muttered in his heart, after Yun Huanting became pregnant, Concubine Ning in the palace and Yun Huanting's maiden cousin Yun Zhaorong were pregnant one after another, and several women were pregnant at the same time at about the same time.

Especially Yun Huanting, she originally occupied the concubine, if she could give birth to the emperor's eldest son, the eldest son would be her son, Li Sheng would have no reason not to become the prince, so in the past few months, Yun Huanting has not had the time to find trouble with Su Yunlai.

Su Yunlai calculated the days, this Yun Huanting should be going to give birth in more than a month, what is she doing in the palace at this time? And with a small group? Today, Gu Junyan was going to perform a military exercise, and she went out early in the morning, and she was a little uneasy when he was not there.

But the queen had an order, so she had to enter the palace.

Su Yunlai changed his clothes, and then instructed Yi Wen: "You go and get the young general back, just say that Qing'er and I have entered the palace." ”

Yi Wen couldn't follow him into the palace, so it was just right to do this.

Yi Wen nodded, and then looked at Jun Yao on the side: "You take care of the young lady." ”

Jun Yao snorted lightly: "You need to say it?" I'm sure I'll take good care of Miss! ”

Since Yi Wen was ordered to protect Su Yunlai, he has been in contact with Jun Yao more often, and the two of them have to stab each other a few words from time to time, Su Yunlai has reconciled twice, and finally it is up to them.

Su Yunlai carried Qing'er into the palace, Jingfen was already waiting for them outside the Qiwu Palace, and when she saw Su Yunlai, she greeted her.

"This is Miss Gu, it's really pink and cute." Jingfen smiled and praised a few words: "Niangniang is still talking about the young lady, saying that everyone else is going to the palace, just the young lady, and I won't see anyone once in a few months." ”

Su Yunlai showed a gentle smile and said, "Niangniang is pregnant, and her body is precious, so I don't dare to disturb her." ”

Jing Fen sneered and said, "The young lady is such a safe person! Come on in, mother-in-law! ”

Su Yunlai smiled and nodded, but she was secretly vigilant in her heart, Yun Huanting was the same as last time, she also asked the palace maid Jingfen to come out to greet her, and she did a lot of work on the surface, but she knew that this was just a superficial effort.

Su Yunlai was worried that Qing'er would cry in the unfamiliar environment, so he hugged her personally, and the little girl seemed to sense her mother's uneasiness and nervousness, and obediently leaned on Su Yunlai's shoulder, but she didn't make a fuss.

Su Yunlai entered the Qiwu Palace, and after inviting An, Yun Huanting smiled and said, "Sit down and let the palace take a look, this is our little lucky star, right?" ”

Su Yunlai was a little uneasy, Qing'er looked at Yun Huanting with flickering eyes, Yun Huanting stretched out her hand and touched Xiao Tuanzi's cheek: "Yo, it's so cute," After a pause, she looked at Su Yunlai: "The date of this production is getting closer and closer, Your Majesty is very nervous, and I am always worried that the palace is afraid, so I said that Qing'er is a little lucky star, let the palace meet her, and borrow her blessing!" ”

Su Yunlai hurriedly smiled and said: "Your Majesty is joking, the queen mother is blessed with all the heavens, Your Majesty is the Ninety-Five, Your Majesty and Niangniang's dragon son, naturally with the protection of Your Majesty and Niangniang, it will definitely give birth smoothly!" ”

Just kidding, if Yun Huanting didn't go well enough when she gave birth, would she blame her family for Qing'er?

Yun Wanting smiled and nodded, and the two were talking, when they suddenly heard the eunuch announce: "Concubine Ning has arrived!" ”

Su Yunlai couldn't help but have a headache, yes, this is all together.
