But who knew that the emperor was not happy for long, and he was struck by a thunderbolt, telling him that this was a big trap, and he was the only one who harmed.

No one would be happy, let alone an emperor.

Seeing that the Ministry of Rites Shangshu was scolded by himself, the emperor felt a little better, but his expression was still ugly: "Okay, don't worry about this matter." That Northern Desert has a bad heart, so it doesn't matter if it's not connected with relatives!"

The Northern Desert is punishable, and the emperor wants to destroy the Northern Desert directly, but the current national strength of Western Chu is not allowed.

So he can only endure this breath now, but if he wants to accept the family business of Beimo again, don't even think about it.

Hearing this, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu was immediately stunned. Why is it not married?

The courtiers present listened to their conversation, and at this time, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites did not speak, but someone else spoke: "Your Majesty, this matter must not be allowed." Don't say that it is taboo to temporarily break the marriage contract, just say that the Northern Desert has the heart to seek peace, if it is not concluded that the Qin and Jin Dynasty are good, I am afraid that it will chill the hearts of friends. ”

This person is from the prince's party, and since the Jiang family is now closed, he has faintly become the leader of *, so at this time, when he saw something that hurt the interests of the prince, he was the first to speak up and object.

Hearing this, the emperor snorted coldly and said, "Chilling their hearts?

The emperor had the heart to say the reason, but in the end he felt very ashamed. Only a few people know about the prince's affairs, that is, those military generals who have a relationship with the frontier. As for the others, they are kept in the dark. They just vaguely knew that the crown prince was under house arrest by the emperor, but they didn't know the details.

Although I don't know why the emperor is capricious, but with the opening of the previous minister, some others are also eager to try: "The emperor thinks twice, it is a good thing for these two countries to be friendly, and the conditions of the Northern Desert are very rich, which is beneficial and harmless to us." ”

It's harmless, because it's all here!

The emperor was blocked in his heart, and his face became more and more gloomy.

However, his face did not stop the advice of those courtiers.

* wanted to promote this marriage and persuade the emperor not to waver, but the two princes and the party felt that this was an opportunity, so they firmly supported the emperor and replied* with bad intentions.

The two sides have their own opinions, but Gu Qingchi is the one who is exceptionally quiet. He watched it all with cold eyes, only a mocking smile on his lips.

He was a little curious now, wanting to know what the Emperor would do.

didn't want to, but the emperor asked him first: "Ziheng, what do you think?"

Hearing the emperor suddenly talking to him, Gu Qingchi's eyes condensed, and he said lightly: "Back to the emperor, my brother thinks that this is a big deal, and it is better to be cautious." ”

This is equivalent to not saying anything, which is equivalent to not giving any advice.

But the emperor heard a little bit from his attitude, this Gu Qingchi seemed to be against this harmony.

Could it be that if the person who is close to him comes, it will not be good for him?

Thinking of this, the emperor couldn't help but think of it, when he was in Beijing, Princess Qingluan seemed to have pestered Gu Qingchi.

Thinking of this, the emperor immediately had an idea, because he said: "Okay, don't make any noise." I'm just reminding you that the Northern Desert is a ghost, who said that there really won't be a marriage?

Originally, he didn't want to kiss, but when he saw Gu Qingchi's attitude, he was shaken.

On the surface, this family affair is indeed not a loss, and once the princess marries, it will correspond to the huge benefits brought by the Northern Desert. At the beginning, he didn't know anything, and he might be hurt again, but now that he has taken precautions, no one can harm him.

Second, now that Gu Chengyue, a bastard, is delusional in the court, he needs to raise the prince again, so that the bastard knows who has the final say in the court!

He has always been good at using the art of trade-offs, and naturally knows that only when the two sides fight in a balanced way can his position be stable.

Therefore, the matter of harmony is also a justifiable reason to let the prince go.

The third is his selfishness.

That's the Queen.

After the initial anger, incomprehension, and grievance, the emperor gradually felt a little sad.

The queen is dead, and a life was lost because of this.

When she was alive, the emperor didn't feel the queen's goodness, but after she died, he had a little repentance.

It's just that those wrongs have been committed, and even the queen's grave was buried outside the imperial tomb by him, these are unchangeable things.

Then, he will turn a blind eye to the matter of the prince.

As long as the crown prince doesn't make mistakes again, when he is a hundred years later, he can still give that bastard something in this position.

But now, this Western Chu State, he still has the final say!

The emperor made up his mind in his heart, and after finishing speaking, he looked at Gu Qingchi again, but saw that the latter's face was still unshocked.

For some reason, he felt more and more uncomfortable. This Gu Qingchi was so opposed, why did he not react now that he agreed? Did he fall into his trap, or did his city government get deeper and deeper?

Either way, it wasn't good news for the emperor.

Seeing that the emperor spoke, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu was a lot happier, after all, only when the emperor issued a charter could they implement it. However, seeing that the emperor's face was becoming more and more gloomy, he became a little apprehensive. Looking at the emperor's expression, he was extremely unhappy, could it be that he pushed too hard and provoked the emperor?

The ministers of the court and the Chinese government all had thoughts, and their faces were upright: "The emperor is shengming!"

Gu Qingchi also said this, but there was sarcasm in his expression, which made the emperor more and more uncomfortable.

The emperor felt uncomfortable in his heart, and naturally brought it out on his face: "Zhongqing has something to do, so let's retreat from the dynasty if there is nothing to do." ”

As soon as he said this, the ministers who originally wanted to talk about other things also weighed it and didn't dare to say it anymore.

After all, when the emperor looked gloomy at the moment, who would be so stupid to rush up to find excitement? Therefore, they all said in unison: "Congratulations to the emperor." ”

It wasn't until after the emperor left the hall that the ministers left in twos and threes.

Yue Zheng walked at the end, wanting to say something, but after receiving Gu Qingchi's hint from his eyes, he paused in his footsteps that he was about to stop, and left as if nothing had happened.

Just didn't want to, before he left the palace gate, a little eunuch hurriedly ran over and said respectfully: "General, the emperor has summoned you." ”

After he said this, he stopped Qin Zhao in front of him and said, "General Qin stays, the emperor is invited." ”

The little eunuch shouted three generals and two civil servants in a row, but the ministers stopped and couldn't guess what the emperor meant for a while.

Gu Qingchi was already about to get into the carriage, but when he saw this change, he put down the robe he had lifted up, and stood in place watching all this, his eyes were slightly deep.

Like him, the others had puzzled faces and did not know what the emperor wanted to do.

The people who were summoned were all in the same way, and some of them asked quietly: "Father-in-law, do you know the reason for the emperor's summons?"

The little eunuch didn't know the reason, but waved his hand with a smile and said, "The slave doesn't know either, the adults will know when they think about it." ”

Seeing that they couldn't find anything, the people also quieted down, and followed the little eunuch all the way to the imperial study.

Yue Zheng didn't speak all the way, and he also guessed the emperor's intentions in his heart.

It's just that he didn't expect that the emperor would ask him to go to the frontier.

"If there is any change in the Northern Desert this time, I will allow you to make a judgment first. ”

The emperor said his plan in a few words, which made these generals a little surprised.

After all, the front foot has just made peace with the Northern Desert, and the back foot has let these powerful generals go to the frontier to train and enter a state of preparation, which doesn't look like they want to go for long-term peace.

The two ministers immediately spoke: "Your Majesty, this is not appropriate, right?"

If you let the Northern Desert know, wouldn't you have to suspect their intentions?

Moreover, the Northern Desert has given many benefits, and it is really against morality for them to do so.

Hearing this, the emperor snorted and said, "Whether it is appropriate or not, I know it in my heart." Or is it up to you to decide the state affairs of Xichu?"

This was said so heavily that no one dared to speak at the moment.

Yue Zheng responded directly: "Weichen obeys the order." ”

Although he didn't know why the emperor did this, and it was not the right time, since the emperor had made a will, he had to obey it.

As a military general, he has been in the frontier for so many years, and he also has feelings for the frontier. Now let him go back, Yue Zheng is very happy.

It's just that he has to wronged Lin Yanran.

As soon as he thought of this, he heard the emperor say lightly: "Yue Aiqing will prepare and set off in a few days." If it's cold today, the family will stay in the capital. ”

When he said this, the emperor's expression was indistinguishable, but the meaning of those words was extremely clear.

This is to stay in the capital as a hostage.

The people present, whether they were civil servants or military generals, were not stupid, and they saw through the emperor's intentions. This is not to worry about the emperor.

Thinking of this, those people were sweating slightly, and Yue Zheng felt a chill in his heart.

He led the army to fight for so many years, but the emperor still couldn't trust him, he was alone before, so he left a minister on the frontier to contain himself. And now, he is married, and he directly takes his family hostage.

Yue Zheng struggled in his heart, but his face was indistinguishable, and he only said: "Weichen obeys the order." ”

Seeing that Yue Zheng agreed, the emperor's face improved a little, and said, "This matter is settled." This time, Qin Zhao and Land Rover will go with you, you have to keep an eye on the frontier, and you must not make a mess!"
