"Donglang, do you know my hard work?"

After Emperor Qing righteously issued a will to punish his beloved son, he called Gu Tingcheng to the front.

「……」

Out of the corner of Gu Qingcheng's eyes, he glanced at the attendants and palace people serving around him, and secretly rolled his eyes.

This Emperor Qing really likes to play tricks no matter what time it is.

If you want to say something considerate to your son, although you don't have to completely retreat, you don't have to be so watchful.

Well, Emperor Qing may also be very confident in doing this-the huge palace is under my control.

Without my permission, no one would dare to divulge the "forbidden Chinese language".

But the problem is that Emperor Qing doesn't have such confidence.

He can't even decide who chooses his own queen.

In order to paralyze the Yu Dynasty, he also had to erect a target.

His mother, his wife, he can't use yang to counterbalance, he can only use some women's means!

Such an emperor, you said that he could control everything, Gu Qingcheng was the first to question.

Emperor Qing did this, there can only be one explanation, he did it on purpose.

The reason is obvious: Emperor Qing still needs the target of the Nine Emperor Princes!

On the surface, he punished Aiko, and it seems that he doesn't really value the Nine Emperor Princes so much.

The three-legged situation in Beijing seems to have been broken by the "expulsion" of the Nine Emperor Princes.

In fact, the people were Ming Xiu plank road dark Chen Cang, deliberately looking for an excuse to stuff his son into the border army in Xizhou.

Let him take the opportunity to seize the military power of Xizhou. Plotting for the Nine Emperor Princes like this, who can say that he doesn't love his son?

The eldest prince, the second prince, and the Empress Yuan, if they knew the "truth", they could spare the Nine Emperors and his mother.

Emperor Qing is definitely a person who uses calculations to the extreme, and he prefers the so-called killing several birds with one stone!

Gu Tingcheng saw through Emperor Qing's thoughts, but he still pretended to be aggrieved.

She pursed her lips, and her big clear eyes were full of accusations, "Daddy, I, I'm not in good health!"

The implication is very obvious: dear, you sent your congenitally weak son to the border city to eat sand, and he meowed to start as a pawn, what kind of hard work is this?

People are your beloved sons!

Shouldn't the emperor's beloved son be able to walk sideways in Beijing?

The incident on the polo field was indeed very noisy.

But if you go back to the roots, you will know that the Nine Emperor Princes did not go too far.

The one who proposed to play polo, not him!

The person who wants to play martial arts is not him!

He didn't even play.

The reason why he made a move was also because Wei Jiulang secretly attacked his fiancée.

As a man, even if he is a weak chicken, he can't watch his fiancée being killed by a villain who likes to sneak attack.

The Nine Emperors' move is definitely a "real man", and it is understandable.

Take 10,000 steps back, even if the Nine Emperor Princes crippled Wei Jiulang for no reason, as the most favored prince, he should not be punished.

Think about the Ming monarch of the Han Dynasty, when he was the crown prince, because his cousin was not respectful enough to play chess, he picked up the chessboard and beat his cousin to death, which then caused the rebellion of the princes.

It was the clan that was killed, and the emperor did not punish the prince for this.

This is the "beloved son" treatment that is valued by the emperor.

This is also the real difference between monarchs and ministers, and the gap between classes.

And the so-called "prince breaking the law and committing the same crime as the common people" is just a beautiful fantasy propagated by the superiors.

If Emperor Qing really favored the Nine Emperor Princes, to put it mildly, he just crippled Wei Jiulang, an ordinary official eunuch, even if he was really killed, there would be no substantial punishment.

Emperor Qing: ......

Facing the clear and trusting eyes of the Nine Emperor Princes, he was a little uncomfortable.

There is even more of a feeling of choking.

His gaze was a little evasive.

Then, as the emperor's majesty, he suppressed the slightest weakness in his heart, "You kid! Alas, how can I not comprehend my painstaking pains."

"I love your mother and son, and I want to give you the best in the world."

"However, although I am the Son of Heaven, I can't do it willfully."

"Donglang, your mother is fine with everything, but it's not good for Izumi."

"You are my beloved son, but you are the last in the order, you are not a descendant, and if you want to stand out, you can only build up more merits."

Emperor Qing saw the amnesia of the Nine Emperor Princes, and patiently broke the truth and crumpled it to "him".

Gu Tingcheng seemed to understand, but she was still a little aggrieved, "Father's hard work, son understands!"

"But, but I'm weak, and I'm not good at riding horses or leading soldiers!"

"And Xizhou is bitterly cold, and my son has to start as a pawn—"

"My son is not afraid of hardship, but he is afraid that his body will be damaged, which will make you and A-Niang worry!"

"If because of her son, Ah Niang is tired and then something is wrong, it is the son's great unfilial piety!"

Filial piety is really an excellent shield.

And the "filial piety" that the world believes in is not simply good to parents.

"Parents who suffer from the body", they did not pity themselves, let themselves be hurt, and then let their parents feel distressed and worried, which is also unfilial!

Gu Tingcheng was unwilling to go to Xizhou to suffer, unwilling to shed blood and be injured, not because he was timid and couldn't endure hardship, but because he was filial piety and pure heart.

The object of her filial piety is still Dong Guifei, and Dong Guifei is Emperor Qing's favorite.

Emperor Qing: ......

It's strange, why do you feel like your shield is being attacked madly by your own spear?

Coughing lightly, suppressing a little discomfort, Emperor Qing showed a relieved expression, "Donglang, it's good that you can cherish yourself because of your filial piety to your parents!"

"But I and the concubine both want you to get ahead."

"Besides, since I have been planning hard for you, naturally I won't really let you go to Xizhou to be a pawn."

Emperor Qing thought for a moment and said, "In this case, I will allocate five hundred men and horses for you, and you will actually lead them."

"Besides, I need you to bring some waiting men."

Speaking of which, Emperor Qing also realized that he had made some mistakes - the Nine Emperor Princes were weak.

Let him be a pampered weak chicken and go to Xizhou, if there is no one around to take care of him, he may not be able to survive.

is still the same sentence, Emperor Qing has made use of his son, but he also has such a lost father-son relationship.

On the premise of not hurting the interests of Emperor Qing, Emperor Qing is still willing to love one or two.

Emperor Qing showed his father's love, and Gu Tingcheng was really moved.

She blinked her innocent eyes, "Thank you, Father! I knew that my father loved me the most!"

Then, she began to ask tentatively, "Father, are the five hundred men really under my command?"

Emperor Qing nodded, "Of course. Nominally, I will arrange for a lieutenant."

In fact, the Nine Emperor Princes are the real rulers.

That captain was not only used by Emperor Qing to help the Nine Emperor Princes lead the troops, but also used to supervise and control the Nine Emperor Princes.

Gu Tingcheng became more and more happy, and performed a live performance, "There are also people who serve me, I, can I also choose by myself?"

Emperor Qing hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded, "Yes!"

It's just some palace maids and chamberlains, and there is not much difference between choosing a few more and choosing a few less.

Scourge Waters: ...... Alas, that's because you don't understand Her Majesty the Queen of Heaven.

Ben mentally retarded tells you that you thought it was just a small opening, but Her Majesty the Queen of Heaven can dig a big hole for you.

Sure enough—

Gu Qingcheng went to the military department first and received the five hundred soldiers given to her by Emperor Qing.

Then, she called Huo Wuniang over, "Wuniang, these horses were given to me by my father. Let me take it to Xizhou for training."

"I've never led a soldier before, and I'm impatient to do this, so you can just help me lead it."

Huo Wuniang's eyes widened, there were too many slots in Gu Qingcheng's words, and she didn't know which one to say first for a while.

First of all, "Kuro, are you really going to Xizhou? And with 500 soldiers?"

Emperor Qing's decree has been issued, and Huo Wuniang also knows that her fiancé has been punished.

In fact, the Huo family knew the true purpose of Emperor Qing's arrangement for the Nine Emperor Princes to go to Xizhou.

The Huo family was not afraid.

For now, the Huo family has no idea of rebellion, and they are still willing to "reconcile" with the imperial court.

It's just that Emperor Qing is more arbitrary and domineering, he wants to take back the military power, but he is unwilling to give the Huo family a guarantee.

The Huo family is not stupid, realizing that their situation is not good, in order to protect themselves, they dare not give up the last hole card.

In this way, the monarch and the minister seem to be deadlocked.

The marriage between Huo Wuniang and the Nine Emperor Princes is an opportunity to break the ice.

The Huo family is already making preparations, if the Nine Emperor Princes can really take away part of the military power, it shows that he has enough strength.

In the battle for the succession of the princes, the Nine Emperors did not have a chance to win.

As for whether the Nine Emperor Princes will come to the throne after they take the throne, it will be another game between the forces of the two sides.

It's a matter for later.

The Huo family felt that these could be planned step by step.

Victory or defeat depends on ability.

You can't say you're worried about this possibility, so you don't do it!

Even if it is done, it is man-made.

General Huo thinks so, and Grandmother Huo and Huo Wuniang also have a positive attitude.

Therefore, if the Nine Emperor Princes want to go to the border city to mix sand, then go, the Huo family not only does not stop them, but also pushes them slightly.

It's just that what Huo Wuniang didn't expect was, "You, you let me be in charge?"

She is a member of the Huo family, and she is still a woman!

The Nine Emperors don't have any scruples at all?

"That's right!"

Gu Qingcheng didn't seem to see the disbelief on Huo Wuniang's face, she used a reasonable tone: "I can't even ride a horse, how can I lead the troops?"

"Wu Niang, you're different! You're a tiger girl!"

"Not to mention, you're still my fiancée! Husband and wife in one! What's mine is yours! Yours will be mine, right?"

When he said this, Gu Qingcheng looked at Huo Wuniang's eyes, focused and sincere.

Huo Wuniang looked back at "her" fixedly-

No matter what the outcome of the couple will be in the future, at this moment, they trust each other and share weal and woe.

"Yes!"

Husband and wife are one, regardless of you and me!

Huo Wuniang said silently in her heart, just looking at Gu Chengcheng's eyes, she was also willing to gamble!

Scourge Waters: ...... I'm so worried, Her Majesty's character value this time is really low.

And her encounter with Huo Wuniang itself originated from a "calculation"!
