Chapter Seventy-Seven: It's Just a Fluke
After Gu Tingyu returned to the room, he lay directly on the bed, and then covered his face with his hands.
His heart was as uncomfortable as a knife, and he knew that he shouldn't be so cruel to force cold frost, but ......
He can't lose! He has to win!
Gu Tingyu took a deep breath, he opened his eyes and sat up.
At this time, there was a knock on the door outside, and immediately, Mrs. Gu pushed the door open and walked in.
Gu Tingyu stood up, and then reached out to support Mrs. Gu.
Lord, the negotiations with the emperor are almost underway, when will you be able to meet the emperor?" The butler asked.
Gu Tingyu was silent for a moment and said, "I'll go right away."
"Gu Tingyu, are you really planning to marry that woman?" Mrs. Gu asked, "You are the best child in our Gu family."
"Mom, who am your son and I," Gu Tingyu patted his mother's shoulder and said, "How could I let myself suffer, you can rest assured."
"Okay, but you must remember, don't wronged yourself, or I won't spare that vixen." Mrs. Gu admonished.
"Uh-huh, I see." Gu Tingyu agreed.
Mrs. Gu said a few more words before leaving.
After Gu Tingyu changed his clothes, he went straight to the palace.
As soon as he walked to the gate of the palace, he was stopped, "Young master, the emperor has something important to deal with now, please wait."
Gu Tingyu glanced at the eunuch, nodded, and said, "I know."
Gu Tingyu sat in the palace and waited, and waited until four or five o'clock in the afternoon before he finally waited for Gu Jingyuan.
Gu Jingyuan's face was very ugly, and when he saw Gu Tingyu, he immediately pulled him and walked to the study.
Gu Tingyu asked suspiciously, "Brother Huang, what are you looking for me?"
"You still have the face to ask me something?" Gu Jingyuan angrily shook off Gu Tingyu's arm and said, "I have long reminded you that your father's death is strange, but instead of paying attention to it, you have intensified your efforts to investigate the cause of your father's death, and you have also mixed it with cold frost, do you dislike your long life?"
Gu Tingyu was stunned, and he said, "I didn't mean to hide it, I just ......."
"You didn't mean to?" Gu Jingyuan's eyes widened and said, "I think you mean it at all! Do you know how dangerous it is, why don't you listen to me?"
"I'm just ......"
Gu Jingyuan interrupted him involuntarily and said, "I warn you, if you dare to provoke those messy women, I will definitely kill her!"
Gu Tingyu lowered his eyes, concealed the emotion at the bottom of his eyes, and said, "I know."
Gu Jingyuan saw that he was well-behaved, and said with satisfaction: "If you know your mistakes, you can improve it, Tingyu, before you do anything in the future, you must think about it clearly, although you are a national hero now, after all, you are still young, and it is easy to be taken advantage of!"
"I know," Gu Tingyu said lightly, "Brother Huang, you're tired, hurry up and go back to rest."
"You too, go to bed early, and you have to enter the palace tomorrow to attend a banquet!"
Gu Tingyu nodded, and then watched Gu Jingyuan leave.
Gu Tingyu sighed, then walked to the bedroom, picked up the wine glass on the table, raised his head and poured a few sips of wine, and then lay on the bed.
Early the next morning, after Gu Tingyu washed up, he took people to the place where the emperor held a dinner.
This dinner was of a very high standard, in addition to the court officials and civil and military officials, other nobles were invited, and even included the princes and princesses and the wives and children of some courtiers.
This banquet was specially for the emperor's birthday, Gu Tingyu was wearing a white robe1, looking very handsome and chic, especially in the limelight, he walked all the way, as if the gods had descended, causing a burst of exclamations around.
Gu Tingyu walked to the banquet hall, and then walked straight to the emperor.
The emperor was sitting there and when he saw gu tingyu he showed a smile and then
Gesture to the guard next to him.
Gu Tingyu walked up to the emperor, knelt on one knee, and then clenched his fists and said, "Brother Gu Tingyu sees the emperor."
"Excuse me," the Emperor raised his hand, motioning for him to be flat, "I've heard that you won this competition, and besides, you won this competition."
Gu Tingyu smiled, then took out a silver ticket from his arms and handed it to the eunuch next to him, and then said, "Your Majesty, the courtier's brother is just a fluke."
The emperor smiled, then glanced at Gu Tingyu, and said, "No matter what, you have won glory for the country, so this reward will be given to you."
As he spoke, the emperor handed the gold medal in his hand to Gu Tingyu, and said, "This gold medal represents power, and those who have this card can command all the troops in the capital. In addition, I have a holy decree announcing that from this day onwards, you will be the new commander of the Forbidden Army, which is a token left to you by your father, and I hope that you will carry on his legacy."
When Gu Tingyu saw the gold medal, his face changed suddenly, and he hurriedly looked up at the emperor, "What did you say?"
He originally thought that he would be reprimanded or belittled by the emperor, but he didn't expect the emperor to give him such a big surprise.
"You heard you right, from now on, you are the commander of the Forbidden Army, do you know how important your position is?"
"Of course I do!" Gu Tingyu's tone suddenly became excited, "Of course I know!" He looked at the emperor excitedly, "Brother Huang, I know that you have high expectations for me, but I have no interest in the military camp since I was a child, I ......
Before Gu Tingyu finished speaking, the emperor waved his hand and stopped him.
Gu Tingyu frowned, and the emperor interrupted him and said, "Tingyu, I have decided on this matter, and you will do as I tell you. If you can't, then you're not worthy to be my royal brother!"
"Brother Huang......" Gu Tingyu still wanted to say something, but the emperor didn't have the patience to listen to him anymore, he waved his hand and said, "I'm tired, go first."
Gu Tingyu looked at the emperor's back, gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, and scolded in his heart: Damn cold frost, you wait for me! When he ascends the throne, he will definitely break the cold frost into pieces!
When the emperor returned to the palace, he sat on a chair and rubbed his forehead, and said, "Third child, you are indeed too impulsive this time."
Gu Tingyu lowered his head for a long time before he said slowly, "Brother Huang, I am to blame for this matter, I was drunk last night."
Gu Tingyu didn't lie, he did drink a lot of wine last night, but it was not because he was sad because of his broken love, but because those women disgusted him.
For so many years, he has been guarding like a jade, just waiting for the appearance of cold frost.
He had imagined countless times that one day, his princess could marry him, they could love each other, and then work together to fight for a country that belonged to the two of them.
However, when he encounters the frost, the frost is like his salvation and frees him.
He really likes cold cream, and he is willing to do all his love to care for her and protect her, but unfortunately, she chooses someone else instead of him.
He hated Cold Frost, and he hated the man who took Cold Frost away.
"Tingyu, I can't blame you for this matter, you just need to remember that there are thousands of women in this world, but the most important thing is your character, only if you are dignified, you can take on the responsibility." The emperor glanced at Gu Tingyu and said, "I know that you like cold frost, but don't worry, cold frost has been given to King An in marriage."
The Emperor patted Gu Tingyu on the shoulder and said, "I know what you mean, and I also know that you want to help Cold Frost, but I won't give her to you. You are the only fiancée among my princes, so if I am not there one day, I will marry her to you."
Gu Tingyu was silent for a moment, and then said, "Okay, since the imperial brother said so, then I might as well obey my fate if I am respectful."
The emperor nodded with satisfaction and said, "I know that you still have some mustard in your heart, and I also know that you don't want to marry Leng Shuang, but Leng Shuang's temper is stubborn, and everyone can persuade her to do what she recognizes
No, so, you better go with her."
After the emperor instructed Gu Tingyu a few more words, he waved his hand to let him retreat.
After Gu Tingyu left, the emperor called the chief eunuch and asked him to draft a decree to promote Gu Tingyu to the commander of the forbidden army.
"Your Majesty, will you be too exalted to Gu Tingyu like this? Although he made meritorious contributions in this imperial examination fraud case, this kind of thing can't be easily promoted, right? Besides, he has just entered the official career, and his qualifications are still young, so I'm afraid it's ......" The chief eunuch said hesitantly, "This is not appropriate."
The emperor looked at the chief eunuch and said, "What? Can I still wronged him? If you look into what happened this time, will I have wronged him?"
"But, Your Majesty, you should also know that the current situation is too dangerous." The chief eunuch said, "Your Majesty, let's be cautious, if you promote Gu Tingyu so rashly, I'm afraid it will make him fearless."
Gu Tingyu's mother and uncle are both generalissimos of soldiers and horses, and they hold a large number of military power, if they really want to rebel, then their army will inevitably capture the capital.
Therefore, even if Gu Tingyu is the prince, even if he has a high prestige in the army, he still can't ignore this pressure, let alone take it lightly.
The emperor nodded and said, "I know, I did this to knock the mountain and shock the tiger."
He had already sent someone to investigate Gu Tingyu's details before, and knew that although he was a fool, he had never relied on the relationship between the Gu family and his mother to do anything wrong.
"You tell him that as long as he can produce evidence to my satisfaction, I will accede to his request." The Emperor said, "As for the rest, I will not consider it for the time being."
The chief eunuch sighed and said, "Your Majesty, do you really want to do this? If you let other people know......
"If you know, it's not like I've never done something like this." The emperor snorted coldly and said, "This time he was too impulsive to do things, and he actually killed the old fox's son directly, I can't let him continue to mess around like this."
