"Click."

Something cracked, coming from the emperor, but no one dared to look up. Father-in-law Chang saw it clearly, it was the tea cup in His Majesty's hand. The tea was not hot, and when it splashed on one hand, it mixed with blood flowed out of the fingers.

Father-in-law Chang was so frightened that he subconsciously took out a handkerchief to wipe it, but was stopped by the emperor waving his hand.

The hall was silent, and the needle drop could be heard. Except for the nervous breathing of the girls kneeling on the ground above the main hall, nothing could be heard.

In the afternoon, it was the hottest time of the day, and even if the temple was full of ice buckets, it could not withstand the heat rolling outside the temple gate. Depressed, dreary, and the sound of exhausted cicadas could be heard in the distance.

All eyes fell on Gu Ci in unison.

Regardless of the victory or defeat of the Battle of Jiaozhou for the time being, it is clear and well known to everyone here that it is a turning point in Gu Ci's life. A generation of genius generals has fallen, and since then he has been sick for more than four years, and now although he is serving in the Criminal Department, it looks more like the emperor taking care of his nephew, and he just gave him a glamorous errand.

The Battle of Jiaozhou is almost the biggest failure and the most taboo topic in Gu Ci's life.

It is impossible for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince not to know.

Could it be that what the prince is planning today is aimed at Gu Ci?

But the man is about to become the son-in-law of the Shi family, and the prince and the Shi family have always been good friends, and it can even be said that as long as the prince ascends the throne smoothly and steadily as the emperor, given time, Gu Ci is the most powerful right-hand man by the side of the future son of heaven.

The ministers were puzzled and secretly went to see the emperor.

The emperor's face was black and dripping ink. Before getting the piece of paper in his hand, he did a lot of psychological construction, maybe Gu Yansheng just didn't like Zuo Xiang, and wanted to kill Zuo Xiang's lineage, maybe he just felt that his position was not stable enough, and he wanted to send several other princes out of the imperial capital for a reason, and so on.

But Zuo is just preparing for his crown prince position and a better succession to the throne in the future.

The emperor never expected that Gu Yansheng ...... Deliberately, it turned out to be for the Battle of Jiaozhou!

Yes, in the Battle of Jiaozhou, it was indeed Gu Yanyao who intervened.

The emperor himself only found out after the fact, Gu Yanyao was not smart, and many things were made by Zuo Xiang, but even so, when he saw Gu Ci, who was covered in blood, and the eldest princess who was going crazy with a knife to kill the battlefield, Gu Yanyao still lost his temper.

So, under the emperor's interrogation, he learned the truth.

At that time, I couldn't wait to hang this rebel and beat him to death!

Can...... Such ugly things cannot be publicized.

Once it spreads, who will dare to fight for Dacheng in the future? Didn't die on the battlefield, died at the hands of the lord he fought so hard for and swore to protect? Who dares?!

So, no matter how he gritted his teeth, the emperor still hid this matter for Gu Yanyao.

Isn't this the case with emperors, the choice after weighing the pros and cons often can't be left in broad daylight. Deal...... It's a big deal that he pays more pensions, it's a big deal...... It's a big deal that he's better for Gu Ci!

With him and the eldest princess, can he still be without the glory and wealth of Gu Ci? Isn't it that he can't go to the battlefield, anyway, the eldest princess doesn't want him to charge into battle and raise him in the imperial capital, isn't it safer?

So, this matter was brought up so again and lightly revealed.

Over the years, even the emperor himself has almost forgotten why the Battle of Jiaozhou was lost...... Who would have thought that at such a moment, when everything was about to settle and the main culprit in the Jiaozhou Battle could not turn over in his life, who knew that Gu Yansheng would stand up and overturn the case for the old case!

It's not Gu Ci, it's Gu Yansheng!

A thin piece of paper in his hand, only a few hundred words, word by word, the word by word recorded the truth of the Jiaozhou Battle that year, and the veterans who were lucky enough to survive signed and pressed their handprints.

You don't need to ask the emperor to know what is the most important gift, what is the most important and important troupe, what is the troupe that was bought back with a lot of money, these are not Gu Yansheng's willingness to arrive late today, what he really went to pick up must be these veterans!

Enough to be a veteran of the confrontation between North Korea!

Suddenly, there was a feeling that I had been pecked by an eagle after a lifetime of fighting, this son...... Idle, unlearned, unskilled, he doesn't worry much about everything in the court, and enjoys his exquisite and luxurious life with all his heart, who would have thought that there is such a thing hidden in his heart......

For so many years, it has never been revealed!

"Good ......" the emperor bit the socket of his back teeth, his tongue against his cheeks, and his voice popped out from between his teeth, word by word, "Okay...... What a name! I just don't know...... What are my sons doing today singing this play?! ”

Gu Yansheng got up slowly, walked to the table, and looked on his back, his expression was gone, only a serious and solemn appearance remained, he opened his mouth and said, "Justify the name of the living, and make the dead blind." ”

Steady, ten words, clear and calm.

The emperor had a calm face, the hand behind his back was pinched into his palm, the wound was cracked, blood gushed out again, tea stains, blood stains, and hands that had been properly maintained for many years and could not even see a cut, were embarrassed.

The queen frowned, sighed, and reached out to hold the hand, the emperor subconsciously withdrew, and after realizing who the person he was holding was, he unloaded his strength again, and let the other party treat the wound for himself with a straight face.

They are husband and wife, but they are not ordinary husband and wife, more like monarchs and ministers, she respects him, but never loves him, this is known to the emperor himself.

It's like...... They are father and son, but they don't look like father and son, at least, Gu Yansheng hasn't called his father emperor for many years in his memory.

He looked at the half-grown man standing below with a fearless face, the expression on his face was arrogant and arbitrary, and he looked like he was bound to win. He stared at it with a calm face for a while, then suddenly turned around and asked the queen sharply, "Did you know early in the morning?!" ”

The queen was wiping the blood with a handkerchief soaked in water, and when she heard this, she didn't raise her head, and asked softly, "What does Your Majesty mean?" ”

The voice is gentle, the posture is also gentle, because the strand of broken hair that has slipped off with his head down is also very gentle, but on the contrary, with a sense of alienation, and a calm and casual ...... It's so calming.

He gritted his teeth and took a deep breath...... In the end, he couldn't hold back, pulled his hand hard, and scolded, "What do you think I mean?" Did you already know all your son's plans for today? Did you know early on that he had endured so far, just to tear the royal face bloodily on this day, in front of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty and in front of the whole world? ! ”

He was very inward-looking, and the other party was still gentle with a little distance, raised his head, and asked rhetorically, "He?" Forbear? ”
