As soon as Xu Guan returned to Xu's mansion, he saw that the lights were brightly lit in the inquiry, and the subordinates stood solemnly on both sides, looking nervous.

Xu Guanyi knew in his heart that it must be Princess Wuyang who came, so that the people in the mansion were like great enemies.

When I walked in, Princess Wuyang was sitting in the main hall with a solemn face, with a straight face, obviously angry, and the palace maids and grandmothers around her all lowered their heads, even breathing carefully.

Xu Guanyi walked in and showed a warm smile: "The princess came over, why didn't you say anything?" Let the princess wait for me. After a pause, he asked softly, "Have you ever eaten?" ”

"If you go down to the court, if you don't go back to the princess's mansion, you're hiding from the palace, and the palace has to come to see Lord Xu in person." Princess Wuyang said lightly.

Princess Wuyang has a free and easy temperament, and she never knows how to beat around the bush.

Xu Guanyi couldn't help but smile bitterly: "It seems that the princess is here to ask the teacher." ”

Princess Wuyang slapped the table, looking at him with angry and disappointed eyes: "Why? You can be regarded as Gu Junyan's own excavation, why do you want to target the Gu family? ”

Xu Guan's eyes flashed, and his expression was a little astringent: "Do you know, how many people have asked me this question today, colleagues, friends, and now my wife." ”

Princess Wuyang was slightly stunned, she is indeed Xu Guanyi's wife now, and it is indeed a little unreasonable to help outsiders question him like this.

Princess Wuyang softened her tone: "It's too reckless for you to do this," after a pause, she still couldn't help but ask, "Why the hell are you doing this?" ”

Xu Guan paused, then raised his head and looked at her and said, "If I say that I am for the good of the Gu family, do you believe it?" ”

Princess Wuyang was stunned for a moment, obviously she didn't expect to get such an unbelievable answer, Xu Guan looked at her expression, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, and her tone was firm: "You don't believe it." After a pause, he said, "But I am indeed for the good of the Gu family, and at the same time, for the sake of Your Majesty." ”

Princess Wuyang's expression gradually became serious, Xu Guan took two steps and turned his back to her, "The Gu family is now in military power, since the repulsion of the Liao State, the prestige among the people is even more prosperous, and the border soldiers only know General Gu but do not know the Son of Heaven, princess, do you think that in the long run, Your Majesty will rest assured?" ”

Princess Wuyang immediately retorted: "However, my uncle has no intention of rebelling, and the royal brother also knows this!" The royal brother has always trusted his uncle! ”

Xu Guan nodded: "Yes, in the past, Your Majesty believed in General Gu, and it was your nephew who believed in your uncle, but now you are the Son of Heaven and the general of the Lord, and now Your Majesty is the emperor first, and then the nephew of others!" As a ninety-five, brothers, siblings, and even close relatives will be suspicious of each other, let alone nephews and uncles? After a pause, he said again: "Even if Your Majesty still trusts General Gu now, but in the future, the so-called gentleman's heart is unpredictable, and when His Majesty can't bear it anymore, what should the Gu family do?" ”

Princess Wuyang opened her mouth, but she couldn't say the slightest rebuttal, because she knew that what Xu Guanyi said was right!

"You also know the temperament of Old General Gu, he is a general who stands up to the sky, he would never have thought that His Majesty would be suspicious of him, let alone take the initiative to hand over the military power, even if someone told him, His Majesty would suspect that he was a master, it would be an insult to His Majesty and Old General Gu!" Xu Guanyi said.

Princess Wuyang bit her lip, "So you want to take the opportunity of the army reduction to make Your Majesty let down his vigilance against the Gu family?" ”

Xu Guan nodded: "In this way, Your Majesty and the Gu family will not tear their faces, the Gu family has less military power in their hands, even if the Great Liao comes to attack in the future, when the time comes, Your Majesty can take the military power in your own hands, Your Majesty has the capital to compete with the Gu family, and you will no longer be afraid of the Gu family, which is a long-term plan for the Gu family." ”

Princess Wuyang thought about it and felt that what he said was very reasonable, and then felt a little guilty: "I'm sorry, I misunderstood you, I didn't expect you to think so much about the Gu family." ”

Xu Guanyi smiled indifferently: "I have today, and it is thanks to the grace of the young general's knowledge, what I have done is nothing, not to mention, I am also for Your Majesty, Your Majesty is the emperor, and taking back the military power for him is also what I should do as a courtier." ”

Princess Wuyang's face was rarely soft, a man who is affectionate and righteous, loyal and righteous, is easy to gain favor, especially Xu Guanyi, who is completely for the sake of others, and he endures humiliation and burden, and even bears infamy.

Her vision seems to be good, but in desperation, she also chose a good colt.

"Speaking of which, I always live in the Princess's Mansion, and rarely in the Xu Mansion, but it's a bit dereliction of duty, so I'll live here in the future, okay?" Princess Wuyang asked implicitly.

This can be regarded as a way for Princess Wuyang to show her goodwill, she is willing to live in Xu's mansion, as Xu Guanyi's wife, not as a princess.

Xu Guanyi's expression was a little stiff, and he didn't want to be happy at all, but he still showed a happy smile: "I naturally think it's good, but I'm not better than the princess's mansion here, a man lives in, it's always not more delicate than the princess's mansion, I married the princess is Gao Pan, and I don't want to wronged you in life, so I can borrow the light to live with the princess more comfortably." ”

Princess Wuyang couldn't help laughing, but she felt comforted in her heart, he thought about her wholeheartedly, and didn't even care about his reputation at all, such a man had no love, and it was not a grievance to live a life with him.

Princess Wuyang whispered, "I don't feel wronged. ”

Xu Guanyi looked at her affectionately and held her hand, and Princess Wuyang gently leaned on his chest and did not speak.

The matter of cutting troops is in an uproar, and the two protagonists of this incident are one is the emperor's confidant minister, who is the court's concubine, and the other is the general of the town and the emperor's own uncle.

Gu Yanshan's response to the disarmament was simple and crude, with just two words: "Fart!" ”

Very much in line with General Gu's always straightforward and fiery personality, Gu Junyan's personality is better than his father's, at least he didn't scold, he just asked rhetorically when he was in the court: "If the Great Liao Kingdom is coming, and the troops are not enough, could it be that Lord Xu wants to go to the front line to convince people with virtue?" ”

On the issue of disarmament, the court was also divided into two factions, one agreeing and the other opposing, and the two sides quarreled so much that Li Sheng was annoyed, and he naturally hoped for disarmament in his private heart, but he had a lot of concerns, so there was no conclusion.

This is much more difficult than cutting the feudal domain at the beginning, although the emperor was also embarrassed when the feudal domain was cut, but after all, it was to attack his own enemy, but this time it was to his own grandfather's family, this is not the same thing.

The matter of cutting the feudal domain last time was also brought up by Xu Guanyi, this Lord Xu is really not a loud person, and it is an earth-shattering event as soon as he goes on and off.

Right now, the hottest topic in the whole capital is about cutting feudal domains.

On this day, as soon as Xu Guan came to pick up Xiaobao home, he would occasionally go to the General's Mansion to learn about Xiaobao's study, of course, no one knew if he had other selfish intentions.

Su Yunlai will take a walk in the house every day, Wen Po said that this is conducive to production, this day happened to meet Xu Guanyi in the garden to pick up Xiaobao back, Su Yunlai originally wanted to avoid it, but she had already seen Xu Guanyi, and it was a little rude to avoid it deliberately, so she didn't move.

Xu Guanyi's eyes lit up when he saw her, even though he knew that it was a bit rude, but he still didn't want to miss the opportunity of such a chance encounter, he hurriedly walked over, just walked in front of him, and saw that there was no joy on her face, and she seemed to be a little evasive, and his heart was astringent.

"Young lady...... But do you blame me? Xu Guanyi asked with some apprehension.

Su Yunlai felt a little funny: "Lord Xu, why did you say this?" ”

Xu Guanyi said uneasily: "The matter of disarmament, the major general and Ah Zhan disagreed, and Ah Zhan was even more angry and ignored me, I ......."

"It's normal for the same dynasty to be an official, and the political views are not in agreement," Su Yunlai said lightly: "Does Lord Xu think his proposal is correct?" ”

Her expression was indifferent, but in terms of her identity, her attitude should not be so calm, Xu Guanyi had no bottom in his heart, he could not care about the opinions of Su Zhan and Princess Wuyang, but he didn't want to leave a little bad impression on her.

After all, being ungrateful is really too harsh a crime.

"I, I'm justified!" Xu Guanyi hurriedly said, "Actually, I just don't want Your Majesty to be suspicious of the Gu family, the young lady has always been smart, and she should also know that the Gu family is now high in power and power, which is a hidden crisis for the Gu family......"

He eagerly explained, repeating the reason he said to Princess Wuyang again, he had practiced these words many times, as a righteous and bright reason, but for some reason, when he said it to her, he stumbled a little, and finally finished speaking.

"The Gu family's military power is too heavy, and it is too easy to cause the emperor's dissatisfaction, and the current reduction of troops is also to make His Majesty feel at ease......"

After listening to his words, Su Yunlai smiled lightly, the meaning was unclear, which made Xu Guan uneasy for a while.

Su Yunlai raised her head, her eyes were awe-inspiring and clear, she looked at Xu Guanyi: "Lord Xu, there is something you have mistaken, the foundation of the Gu family, the admirable things of the Gu family, it has never been how many people there are in the Gu family's army!" She said loudly: "The Gu family's real reliance, including the first emperor, is what they are afraid of is the Gu family's thirty-two heroic soul monuments!" It is the 32 martyrs of the Gu family who sacrificed their lives for the country for generations! The Gu family has a total of thirty-two generals, without exception, all of them died on the battlefield, even when they died in battle, their backs were also facing away from the country, and the blades in their hands never let go! ”

"It is they who defend this country with their flesh and blood, and their loyalty and fearlessness are the soul of the Gu family! That is the arrogance that is integrated into the Gu family's bones, and it is not possible to offset the iron bones that can be weakened by half a point by cutting troops! No matter how many people there are in the Gu family's army, they will die to the last person in order to defend the dignity of the country! This is the mission of Gujia! This is the real foothold of the Gu family! Su Yunlai's voice was not loud, and it could even be called soft, but it smashed into Xu Guanyi's heart word by word.

Xu Guanyi once used his reasons to persuade Princess Wuyang, and let Princess Wuyang move his dedication and tolerance, but he used the same reason, but in exchange for Su Yunlai's disapproving chuckle.

He looked at her awe-inspiring eyes, she was a pregnant woman, with a big belly, she really couldn't be called beautiful, but he couldn't take his eyes off it, attracted by the light emanating from her.

He suddenly thought of Gu Junyan, when Gu Junyan's class returned to the court, he was also like this, riding on a horse, doing nothing, strolling into the city leisurely, and became the focus of everyone.

It turned out that she and he were the same people.

Su Yunlai said such a long sentence emotionally, and couldn't help but feel a little weak in her legs, and Jun Yao hurriedly supported her.

Su Yun glanced at Xu Guanyi and said lightly: "Lord Xu, people always find a fair and honest excuse for their behavior, especially when they do something wrong, I have no choice but to do it, I do it for his good, I do it for his good, I say it, maybe even I believe it, but Lord Xu, to do the really right thing, you don't need a reason, you just need to rely on your own heart." ”

After Su Yun finished speaking, he hooked the corners of his lips: "For example, the Gu family chose to protect the family and defend the country, the Gu family has never hesitated, nor has it been doubted, my mother-in-law died in childbirth, and I didn't see the last face of the old general, because at that time he was fighting bravely on the battlefield, which is the biggest regret in my father-in-law's life, but I know that he doesn't regret it, because what he did was right and should be done." ”

"I know, my mother-in-law won't blame him, because after marrying Jun Yan, I also understand his mission, he is a man who stands up to the sky, a brave and fearless general, and I will always be proud of him."

Xu Guanyi's eyes flashed with pain, and his face was pale and almost unable to stand.

"Ah Wan!" Gu Junyan's voice came from behind him.

Su Yunlai turned his head to look, Gu Junyan strode towards her, the man who was always arrogant and arrogant, walked to her side, and also restrained his coldness, and became gentle, he carefully protected her by his side, and everyone could feel his cherished mood.

"It's windy, let's go back." Gu Junyan held Su Yunlai's hand and said softly.

Su Yunlai bowed his head lightly, Gu Junyan glanced at Xu Guanyi, and said lightly: "Master Xu walks slowly, and General Ben won't send it." ”

Say no more, for his wife has already said it.

Gu Junyan held Su Yunlai's hand tightly, no one knew his mood at this time, his wife understood him, understood him, understood him, and understood him, there was nothing more pleasant than this.

Su Yunlai felt that Gu Junyan's mood seemed to be something wrong today, even if he didn't have too many expressions on his face, she could still feel that he was in a good mood.

Xu Guanyi looked at their backs as they left in harmony, and even the shadows were extraordinarily harmonious, as if two people who were born to be together stung his eyes inexplicably.

Xiaobao held his hand at this time, interrupting his heartache.

Xiaobao looked at Xu Guanyi and said seriously: "Father-in-law, I will also become a person like Master in the future!" ”

Xu Guanyi paused slightly, and then touched his head: "Okay, you will also learn from your master in the future, and you must become a person like him, don't learn from your father-in-law." ”

Xiao Baohu glanced at him suspiciously: "My father-in-law is also very good." ”

Xu Guanyi smiled lightly, his smile was pale and weak, no, it was not good at all, he could only use the excuse of righteousness and brightness to cover up his dirty selfishness, she was right, he was such a person, he did something wrong, and he had to find an excuse for himself to make others believe that what he did was right.

Even he believed it.

Xu Guanyi closed his eyes, but what appeared in his mind was the scene of her walking beside that person, he couldn't help but clench his fists, there was only one thing, he wasn't making excuses, he was for her.

Su Yunlai and Gu Junyan returned to the courtyard and entered the inner room, Su Yunlai was a little uneasy, "Lord Xu ...... today"

"It's okay, it's not a big deal." Gu Junyan said indifferently.

How lucky he is to have her by his side, and there will be their children in the near future, what is he to worry about?

Su Yunlai was a little surprised, you know, Gu Junyan was very jealous of Xu Guanyi in the past, when Xu Guanyi was recuperating in the Su family, the young general also made a move to throw people out, and today he actually said so generously?

Gu Junyan glanced at her, then reached out and touched her stomach, "Anyway, you are all my person, and you still have a big belly, and you can't run." ”

Su Yunlai was so angry that he gave him a kick without saying a word, Gu Jun suffered it for a long time, and then cried out mournfully: "It hurts, it hurts!" Madame, Madame, rub it! Then he leaned over shamelessly.

Su Yunlai glared at him: "Can't you set a good example for your children?" The doctor said, "Now that you are a month old, the child can hear what you say." ”

Gu Junyan immediately put away his cynical expression and became serious: "Really? Then why don't I give you a set of boxing, can he feel it? Or do I memorize a sword trick? ”

"You, what are you going to do?"

Gu Junyan said as a matter of course: "As a good son of my Gu family, how can he not know martial arts?!" I want to train him from an early age, so that when he grows up, he will defend his family and the country and fight bravely to kill the enemy! ”

Su Yunlai was angry: "My son has not been born yet, and you have to teach him to kill the enemy?" ”

Gu Junyan nodded without hesitation, "Hmm." Then he pondered which one should he teach......

The contradiction between Xinke's parents finally broke out, as for the crisis of cutting troops, neither of them paid much attention to it, Gu Junyan didn't care, and recognized that this thing would not succeed; It doesn't matter if Su Yunlai comes, even if it is done, as long as she is unwilling, she can stir up Huang in this matter.

But the premise is that Gu Junyan doesn't want to bully her son anymore!

Su Yunlai's words did not change anything, because what Xu Guanyi said was just an excuse, and his original intention was never for the good of the Gu family, so the matter of disarmament continued to make a fuss.

Among them, the most opposed is not Gu Junyan, but Su Zhan.

Third Young Master Su has not had a good time recently, his daughter-in-law has run away, and he is still in the Cold War, and his confidants and friends don't know what kind of wind he has smoked, and he is becoming more and more strange, so during this time, Third Young Master Su has always had a face that no one wants to enter, and even Mrs. Su didn't dare to mention the matter of succession to him.

However, he firmly believes that there can be no disarmament.

This matter is actually related to Su Zhixun, Su Zhixun was in Lingnan as a guard, and once experienced the scene of the destruction of Lingnan City, and the massacre of the people after the Great Liao Army broke the city, until now Su Zhixun has never forgotten it, it was the nightmare of his life, so for the Gu family army who can avenge the dead people, Su Zhixun desperately preserves.

The poisonous mouth of the third young master Su can spray all over the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty by himself, Xu Guanyi is still afraid that he is Su Yunlai's brother, and he doesn't dare to offend him, okay, but he was sneered at by him.

Xu Guanyi was depressed.

Xu Guanyi decided to think of a way to 'get' Third Young Master Su.

There are several ways, one is to poison and assassinate, uh, forget it, and let Ah Wan know...... Exclude Exclusions.

Second, it is feasible to win over and curry, Xu Guanyi knows that some time ago, Su Zhan and Su Zhixun have been active, hoping to pardon Lin Zhengan's crimes and transfer him back to the capital.

He can help with this, and with his help, there is not much resistance.

However, in exchange for this, I am afraid that it will not be successful, but it will be self-defeating.

What can I do? Lord Xu is going to die of sorrow.

Xu Guanyi was walking back and forth in the study to find a way, but Xiaobao suddenly came back.

"Why did you come back so early today?" Xu Guanyi asked in surprise.

On weekdays, Xiaobao has to stay until after dark before he is willing to come back, just so that he can learn more things after Gu Junyan descends to the court, especially that day in the General's Mansion, after Xiaobao heard Su Yunlai's words, he is even more determined to be a general who stands up to the sky in the future.

Xiaobao's face was depressed: "It's all the third young grandmother, she ran to cry with the master again, I was upset to hear it, so I had to come back first." ”

Xu Guanyi couldn't help but be a little funny: "What's the matter, Su Sanshao's grandmother is still in the General's Mansion?" Didn't Master Su pick her up? ”

"I went, but I was driven back by the third young grandmother," Xiaobao said and wrinkled his little face: "Why are these women so troublesome?" As soon as Master Su left, I also heard the third young grandmother complain to my sister, saying something 'I let him go, he left, is there still me in his heart', this is obviously what she asked Master Su to leave! ”

Xiaobao's face was full of dissatisfaction, 'What the hell is going on with these women?' ''What the hell are these women thinking?'' This matter became the biggest doubt in Xiaobao's heart, so much so that he never figured it out when he grew up.

Xu Guanyi couldn't help but smile, feeling a little cool inexplicably, he was tortured enough by Su Zhan, and now seeing Su Zhan deflated, his heart suddenly balanced.

Xiaobao sighed: "It's just that I pity the teacher, I have to comfort her with a big belly, I'm really worried that the third young grandmother will cry all the time and make noise to the younger brother in the mother's stomach!" ”

Xu Guanyi frowned slightly, "Does she often go to the young lady to cry?" ”

Xiaobao nodded heavily.

Xu Guanyi's expression was slightly solemn, "Why are they quarreling?" ”

"It seems to be for the sake of the child, I heard what the third young grandmother said, it's not that she doesn't want children, it's just that the environment of the Su family is too poor, the family is intrigued, and it is not suitable for raising children, by the way, the old lady is going to give Master Su a stepchild!" Xiaobao struggled to recall what he had heard.

Xu Guanyi was stunned, child? It seems that it is necessary for him to understand the affairs of the Su family well.
