After pondering for a moment, Emperor Yongli spoke again, and his eyes were gloomy and said: "Mingyan, Mingjue, neither of you are stupid, why did you fall for the scheme?"
Gu Mingyan is his eldest son, he has been extremely intelligent since he was a child, and Gu Mingjue is a general who has fought for many years and has made many achievements.
He couldn't figure out why the two of them missed, causing the five thousand elite soldiers not to mention, and the two of them almost died in Qingzhou.
Hearing this, Gu Mingyan and Gu Mingjue quickly glanced at each other, and then arched their hands together: "Erchen is guilty!"
Emperor Yongli's eyes swept and said coldly: "I am not holding you accountable!" I just want to know what happened that day! โ
If the other lords committed such a big crime, he would definitely ask for the guilt, but the two in front of him were his relatives who were related by blood, and they were almost buried in Qingzhou, how could he blame them?
He just really had lingering fears about the ambush between the two of them, and wanted to hear them tell them in person about the thrills of their scheme.
Seeing that he was angry, Gu Mingyan and Gu Mingjue both jumped in their hearts, and then under Gu Mingjue's instructions, Gu Mingyan stepped forward and told Emperor Yongli about what happened after they arrived in Qingzhou.
Hearing that the two of them were being chased by waves of killers, Emperor Yongli's heart was pinched together, and a cluster of violent anger ignited in the depths of his eyes.
This anger reached its peak when he heard that Gu Mingyan and the two of them were being chased to the dense forest on the border with Luozhou.
"Bang!" He smashed his fist on the imperial case, and because he used too much force, the music on the imperial case was shaken away and fell one after another.
Gu Mingyan and the others who watched this scene were shocked, and several people knelt down in unison, not daring to speak at all.
The rest of the palace people who were waiting also knelt down one after another.
Emperor Yongli was a majestic emperor, with a gloomy face and majestic dragon eyes, which was his most common appearance, and he rarely got angry or happy in public.
It's rare to see it get out of control like it is today!
"Your Majesty is angry!" In the end, Changde, who had been with Emperor Yongli for many years, took the lead in breaking the cold silence and depression of the room.
"Anger? How do I calm my anger? My emperor is hunted down for people on my land! If it weren't for the fact that those guards were loyal enough to fight with their lives and entangle those killers, I would be separated from Ming Yan and Ming Jue! Emperor Yongli blushed his eyes and gritted his teeth.
At this moment, there was a rare trace of vulnerability and fear on his face.
As soon as these words came out, even Changde didn't dare to say anything more, and for a while, everyone gathered their breath and concentrated their minds, kneeling quietly.
The atmosphere inside the room became even more oppressive.
The anger of the emperor is silent, and it can also shock people's hearts.
After a long time, Emperor Yongli calmed down a little, and he slowly raised his hand and said, "Get up!"
When he said this, there was a trace of imperceptible exhaustion in his majestic and shrewd eyes.
This made Gu Mingyan and the others stunned, but they knew that this was not the time to say much, so they all stood up silently.
"How did you deal with Xu Rong, who colluded with horse thieves?" Emperor Yongli rubbed the corners of his forehead and asked lightly.
He knew that Gu Mingyan and the others had dealt with Xu Rong and the other traitors in Qingzhou, but he didn't know what happened to Xu Rong and the others.
"Back to my father, my son handed over the traitor Xu Rong to the people of Qingzhou to deal with it on their own." Gu Mingyan said respectfully.
"Oh?" Emperor Yongli raised his eyes, full of doubts.
"It was he who caused the displacement of the people of Qingzhou and the corpses all over the field, and the people of Qingzhou should punish him!" Gu Mingyan continued.
Emperor Yongli's eyes flashed with a hint of understanding, so good! There is a wrong, and the debtor has a master, even if Xu Rong harmed the people of Qingzhou as miserable, it should also be avenged by the people themselves.
"Then, how did the people collect debts from Xu Rong?" He asked.
As soon as the words fell, Gu Mingyan reported indifferently: "The people of Qingzhou have long hated Xu Rong, who is an unkind official, and after the order of the son, they actually bit off Xu Rong's flesh and blood one bite at a time, making him suffer the pain of thousands of knives and die!"
Emperor Yongli's face was shocked, and a different color flashed in his eyes, these people really hated Xu Rong's traitor!
actually made Xu Rong suffer such a tragic pain, and there was no corpse to die!
But...... This is also Xu Rong's own self-inflicted sin! I can't complain about the people!
"Good!" He praised.
Gu Mingyan and the others continued to bow their heads and remain silent, just waiting for him to continue to interrogate.
However, Emperor Yongli did not do as they expected, but said slightly apologetically: "It's my fault!" Wrong, you shouldn't appoint a traitor like Xu Rong! Wrong, I shouldn't have sent only 5,000 elite soldiers! โ
Of course, the most wrong thing is that he appointed his two princes to go to Qingzhou to quell the chaos!
He didn't say the second half of the sentence, but the eyes he looked at Gu Mingyan and the two brothers clearly expressed this meaning.
"Father is right! It was the retainers who were gullible in others, which caused 5,000 soldiers to bury their bones in other places! Gu Mingyan and Gu Mingjue said regretfully at the same time.
Although Qiao Hao is really scheming and good at disguise, in the end, the two of them underestimated the enemy.
If you are a little more vigilant, how can you put yourself in danger? How did you cause 5,000 elite soldiers to be killed!
The grief in the eyes of the two of them was really too strong, and even Emperor Yongli was infected, and he couldn't help but sigh: "Alas!"
Sighing, he waved his hand and said, "The matter has come to this point, it is useless to say more!" The two of you are still standing alive in front of me, which is a blessing in misfortune! โ
He didn't want to pursue anything anymore, he just hoped that Gu Mingyan and Gu Mingjue would have a good time.
Hearing this, Gu Mingyan and Gu Mingjue both wet their eyes, and said emotionally: "Thank you, father!"
This time Xie is different from the previous politeness, but sincere.
After all, Emperor Yongli, as an emperor with clear rewards and punishments, being able to say this already shows his greatest care and tolerance for the two brothers!
If other generals have no bones left in the corpses of 5,000 elite soldiers due to their own mistakes, I am afraid that they will inevitably suffer a thunderous wrath!
"Jinli, the intelligence and calmness you showed this time are impressive!" After saying Gu Mingyan and the two brothers, Emperor Yongli moved his gaze to Su Jinli on the side.
It's just that now, his dragon eyes looking at Su Jinli are full of appreciation and approval, and he no longer has the disgust and dislike he had in the past.
"Father praised!" Su Jinli hurriedly replied with a light smile.
Seeing this, the satisfaction in Emperor Yongli's eyes increased a little more, and he laughed loudly: "The gossip is really not credible!" You are such a clever and clever child who has been rumored to be so unbearable! โ
As he spoke, he couldn't help but sigh.
sighed again and again that Gu Mingjue and the eldest princess Shunyi were discerning, if it weren't for the two of them, I was afraid that Su Jinli would have been killed by him by mistake in anger that day.
"Hehe......" Su Jinli couldn't answer this, so she had to laugh dryly.
After all, although the rumors about her in Beijing are somewhat exaggerated, they are not completely groundless......
If it weren't for the coincidence that she was able to live a new life, she would still be as stupid and dull as the rumors have rumored!
And because of her weak heart, her actions fell in the eyes of Emperor Yongli, which became her humble and polite performance, and she couldn't help but feel a little more fond of her in her heart.
Therefore, Emperor Yongli, who has never been very praiseful, praised for the first time: "Suning'an, the son of Suyi, and Bai Feng, the first talented woman of Yan Kingdom, are both amazing and brilliant people, and you, as their only daughter, reflect the advantages of the two of them to the fullest!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the room looked at each other.
This...... Emperor Yongli really praised Su Jinli to the sky!
How wise and resourceful is Suningan, and what kind of demeanor is Bai Feng?
The two of them were god-level figures that were difficult for all their peers in Yan Kingdom to match back then!
Don't say Su Jinli, even the entire Yan Kingdom, and now I can't find anyone who can compare to the husband and wife!
"Ahem...... Father, you really are...... It's over! After the shock, Su Jinli said with embarrassment.
She is very self-aware, she is just a little smart, how can she be compared with such an excellent father?
"Okay, you don't have to shirk! I have eyes! Emperor Yongli waved his hand and made a conclusion.
Su Jinli: "......"
You are the emperor, you are capricious! Whatever you say is what it is!
Gu Mingjue and the others were also speechless.
Fortunately, Emperor Yongli did not continue this topic, he turned to Song Yi and said: "Song Aiqing, this time I am willing to take the initiative to ask Ying to go to Qingzhou to help Mingyan and a few people, which is also commendable!" When I reward the army tomorrow, I will reward you too! โ
As he spoke, the majestic dragon's eyes overflowed with a smile.
"We're thanking you, Lord Longen!" Song Yi replied with a salute that was neither humble nor arrogant.
Emperor Yongli saw that he was indifferent, and couldn't help but be more happy, and after he was in a good mood, he asked Gu Mingyan and his party some simple questions, and then ordered Changde to send them out of the palace.
โฆโฆ
Changde kept sending a few of them to the gate of the palace before turning around and leaving, and after he left, the smiles on Su Jinli's faces fell.
"What do you mean, Father?" Su Jinli frowned.
After two lifetimes, she knows best how Emperor Yongli is a cold-hearted person.
Except for a very small number of people he favored, he was dignified and indifferent to everyone, and his attitude towards them today was really too suspicious.
Gu Mingyan and the others shook at the same time, and there was a blank puzzle in their eyes.
In this way, the several of them walked to the carriage sent by their respective houses for inquiry.
When he was about to get into the carriage, Gu Mingyan, who had been thinking for a long time, spoke, and said: "Although the emperor's heart is unpredictable, I can see that my father's concern for us is true!" We don't need to panic, just wait and see! โ
It is the best policy to respond to all changes with the same.
"Hmm!" Su Jinli and several people bowed their heads.
"After a long journey, let's go home and rest! See you tomorrow at the celebration banquet! Gu Mingyan continued.
Because of Emperor Yongli's urgent edict, several of them rushed back to Beijing all the way, almost never rested, and now they are very tired.
Yes, for Gu Mingyan's proposal, they were full of promises.
After a brief goodbye, they each got into the carriage.
When she sat in the carriage, Su Jinli raised her eyebrows and asked her full of questions: "Why did you stop me several times to tell my father what Gu Mingyun had done?"
