Chapter 152

Suddenly heard such a news, Lu lack and Gu Qingcheng are blushing.

Being shy and reserved by women's instincts, Gu Qingcheng wants to get up and leave immediately to return to the camp. But on second thought, although he and Lu que don't mean to marry each other, they can also be regarded as baby parents. His father and Duke Wei have already said that before. As two people, even if they just mention it casually, there is no possibility of regret afterwards.

Besides, this time they went south together, from Qingquan city to hexingyuan, and then to xiyuanze. In recent months, they have been together day and night. If they didn't come out of xiyuanze, it would be OK. But now they have returned to Daqian, all kinds of speculation and rumors will appear. If you add the help of someone who has a heart to it, Even if there is no transgression between them, it will do great harm to their reputation.

Now the Emperor himself decreed to marry, but all these possible things were eliminated in the invisible. Now they are unmarried couples, and they can get married as long as they both graduated from the Academy. At that time, both of them were high-ranking generals of Da Qian. Behind them were the governments of Wei and Ding. With the emperor's imperial edict, even those who had no brains would not be able to make arrangements for them.

In addition, over the past few months, Gu Qingcheng has seen a completely different Lu que from that in the Academy. Although Lu que was the first one to enter ruishe, he was as low-key and reserved as a sword hidden front. This trip to the South made him realize a young man who was not in danger, full of wisdom and brilliant talents. Even though the royal family gift was a little sudden, he was very happy, But Gu Qingcheng was not dissatisfied.

Lu que has to think about the long-term. Although there are some accidents, he has long thought that as long as they can get out of xiyuanze, their marriage, no matter what their opinions are, is a matter of certainty. Even if it is not the emperor's order, his father Lu Chun and Gu Huairen, Gu Qingcheng's father, will try their best to promote this marriage.

However, there must be a deeper reason why the emperor's uncle ordered to marry him immediately after xiaoqingshan. In addition to protecting their reputation for starvation, this reason is only because of military power, which is the early settlement of the future Qianlong Dynasty. By that time, cousin Yu Tianxiang and Gu Qingcheng will be in charge of 150000 Fengxiang troops. After graduating from the Academy, they will probably be transferred to the Changqing army and gradually take over their father's post. With these two armies guarding the imperial capital, no matter what happens in the imperial court, they will not be hurt.

Lu can't help frowning at the thought of this, because he thought of a possibility that his emperor's uncle might have moved the mind of his cousin Yu Minghao. However, although the emperor has been in power for more than 20 years, he was less than 20 years old when he ascended the throne. Now he is less than 50 years old. For an emperor in Lingtai, this is his prime year, Why do you want to pass on the throne to a son who is not old enough to enter the school?

Lu Que's heart suddenly moved. He thought of a possibility that the emperor's cultivation was about to break through and enter the realm of catastrophe. The so-called catastrophe is hard to cross. He was preparing ahead of time. At that time, when the young master was in power, the only person the emperor could trust was his own daughter Yu Tianxiang, who was half of the royal blood. In addition to the original intention of Lu and Gu government, he wanted to bring Dingguo Gu family to the camp of supporting Taizi Yu Minghao.

At that time, there were two military ministers in the outer court, yuyuanpu, the king of Zhongyang, and Gu Huairen, the Duke of Dingguo. The emperor also had the Changqing army and the Fengxiang army. No one could do anything in the capital even if they were little masters of the country. Even after the crown Prince Yu Minghao ascended the throne, he could continue to study in the palace and be supervised by his cousin Yu Tianxiang, just as his mother Yu Chuqing assisted the government with the body of Princess Chang. So, Gu Qianxue, his future brother-in-law, is likely to get a promotion in the near future. The most likely place to go is one of the four armed forces guarding the nine gates of the capital.

Thinking of this, Lu can't help but praise in his heart that his emperor's uncle is benevolent and modest on the surface, but it's not easy for him to be an emperor for more than 20 years. This layout is closely linked with each other, virtually holding the military power of the imperial capital firmly in his hands, so as to ensure that the crown prince will not lose power after he ascends the throne.

Thinking of this, Lu que takes a look at Gu Qingcheng and finds that she is also looking at herself. Although there is still a trace of blush on her face, there is a trace of worry in her eyes.

Growing up in a place like Dingguo government, Gu Qingcheng's political sensitivity was no worse than that of Lu que, and he soon broke away from his shyness. What others may see is that both she and Lu que have gained great power, and they are likely to reach the peak of Renchen in more than ten years, and become the characters on the stone level in the court. However, Gu Qingcheng is not dazzled by this superficial thing.

Because she knew very well that although the Emperor Yu Yuanxu was a wise and benevolent monarch, there were changes in Dongping before and chaos in the eighteen Marquises' house after. He used and prevented his courtiers immediately. At that time, Lu Chun, Ji Zhiheng and Bai Lijia were the three heroes of the poor family. At that time, the children of the poor family ushered in the most prosperous and glorious period in more than 200 years of Da Qian, Lu Chun and Bai Lijia were trapped in the mountain of no return. The emperor appointed Zhuge Xingzhi, his mentor, as the prime minister to balance the court situation, which indirectly led to the resignation and seclusion of Ji Heng, a generation who saw through the emperor's mind.

So now the emperor has pushed Lu que to the front stage. It can be predicted that Lu que, who is supported by the poor and the noble, will be in power after graduating from the academy and become a political force that can not be ignored. Then who will be the emperor's check and balance? Is it Princess Yu Tianxiang? Or someone else.

You should know that Lu Que's mother, Princess Yu Chuqing, has been a political assistant for more than ten years. His father, Lu Chun, was in charge of the Tianhuo army in the north. There were as many as four military commanders who came out of the Tianhuo army in those years. The poor students also put the hope of restoring the poor family to take charge of the imperial court on Lu que. They only saw that Lu que was reading books and practicing martial arts, It can be seen that they are indifferent to everything and are still regarded as leaders by poor students.

Now Lu que is the deputy commander of zhengsanpin. If he is promoted from the Academy, he can become the commander of the first army. With the resources of Princess Chang and Duke Wei, who will be able to balance him then? But the emperor will leave a secret hand in order to balance the court situation and realize the transition of power. What will that secret hand be? Or did the emperor trust Lu que so much?

On the one hand, Yu Tianxiang is indeed a rare figure in the royal family. It has the style of the eldest princess Yu Chuqing. However, Gu Qingcheng, a good friend of Yu Tianxiang, knows that Yu Tianxiang may not be inferior to the eldest Duke in terms of mental devices, but he is not as talented as the eldest princess Yu Chuqing, What's more, Princess Chang had a commander of the sky fire army Lu Chun that she could rely on.

The battle between the imperial court and the imperial court has always been invisible and dangerous. How can Yu Tianxiang resist Lu que, who came with the general situation, only by his royal identity, or by the 150000 Fengxiang army, or by his family? How could that be possible. Gu Qingcheng involuntarily considered it from the standpoint of Lu que, but the more she thought about it, the more worried she was.

He Tao, Cheng Yuan and Feng Yang, however, only turned red at the beginning, but soon recovered. On the contrary, they were all thinking about something in silence. Their facial expressions were also uncertain. They all looked at each other, but they were all confused. They were all orthodox soldiers from the bottom of the army, and they were all worried about the court hall, But they didn't understand it at all. Therefore, Feng Yang, the most thoughtful of the three, didn't understand what Lu Que and Gu Qingcheng were thinking and worried about.

"General, commander, I wonder if Lao Cheng has said something wrong." With the silence of Lu Que and Gu Qingcheng, the atmosphere is gradually suppressed. Cheng Yuan scratches his head and asks.

"No, I just feel a little surprised. After all, few people got married by his Majesty in the first day." Gu Qingcheng patted Lu que, who was still thinking, and said with a smile.

"Ah, yes," Lu que also woke up and said, "I plan to go to zhennanguan to have a rest for two days, and then return to the capital. Since all three of you have been transferred to the Changqing army, you should go back with me this time. You know, my father is very strict. Since sister Qingcheng and I are out of danger, you should also perform your duties."

"We naturally listen to the general, but brothers ~" He Tao has some desire to say.

The two battalions led by Feng Yang and Cheng Yuan are nothing. After all, these two battalions are not the only elite light cavalry in the wind army. However, the Yulin scouting battalion led by Feng Yang is different. The number of Yulin scouting battalion is small, but now there are only so many left. If he Tao didn't insist on looking for Lu que, the commander of Yulin army Wei Jiu still wants to take them as the foundation, Rebuilding the Yulin scouting camp, after all, these people are veterans of the rest of the hundred battles. He Tao wants to take this army away, but he has to pass the Weijiu pass.

"Don't worry, when I get to zhennanguan, I'll go and tell Uncle Wei that during this period of time, you can form the training methods of the former Yulin scouting camp into detailed rules, write a training code, and then find out the veterans who will return home after being seriously injured. In this way, when Wei Shuai reconstructs the scouting camp, he won't be out of hands."

"Thank you, general." He Tao was overjoyed, but then his face became embarrassed again. He scratched his head and said, "but I can't write training code."

He Tao was promoted from the bottom of the ranks to the position of general now. Although he can't be said to be illiterate, he only came to serve as a soldier after he had studied in the countryside for a few years when he was young and knew that he was not a scholar. He can recite the daily training of the Yulin scouts' camp, but it's really difficult for him to write.

Lu Que and Gu Qingcheng look at each other and both shake their heads and laugh. There are not many people like He Tao in Daqian's army. They are good at training soldiers and marching to fight. Let them write down their experience, that is, dogs bite hedgehogs.

"You can't do it like this. You three are generals now. After you enter Beijing, you all lead a battalion alone. Every month, you have to submit the training situation, ordnance loss and military capital consumption to the Shangguan for reading. Each one has a fixed format. If you make a mistake, you will be fined three months. If you make a mistake more than five times, you will be demoted." Gu Qingcheng said with a smile, these three people are with her and Lu missing life and death, she naturally want to mention.

"Ah?"

In addition to Feng Yang, he Tao and Cheng Yuan are all stupid. They didn't expect that there were so many troubles in the promotion.

At this time, Lu que also said, "you are all generals now. For the way of generals, you should be the first to govern your mind. You also have five requirements: wisdom, faith, benevolence, courage and strictness. A man who can only fight and kill can't be a general. Although you haven't been under my command for a long time, you are also my soldiers. I will say hello to the performance appraisal department of waige. If you are demoted because of this, Just go home with your own severance payment. "

They have been in the army for nearly ten years. They have been promoted to the rank of general, and the Duke of Wei attaches great importance to their transfer to the capital. If they are sent home for this, they will lose a lot of money. Not to mention their colleagues in the army, even their neighbors will be laughing.

"But, but this training code is all the business of the army's military division and the big men of the outer cabinet's command department. I really can't write it." He Tao looks bitter and says pitifully.

"Well, I'll help you this time. You can talk to me on the way. I'll help you sort it out when zhennanguan passes. But this time, it's up to you. When I get home, I'll tell my father to pay attention to you. "

Gu Qingcheng has not been in contact with these three people for a long time, but he can also see that Cheng Yuan, Feng Yang, Neixiu and He Tao are straightforward. If they are not well controlled, when they arrive at the imperial capital, they don't know what will happen. However, thinking of all kinds of accounts and reports in the army, these three people have been used to them for some time. Looking at their bitter faces, I can't help laughing.

"Thank you, sergeant." He Tao was relieved and quickly expressed his thanks. At least this pass is over. As for the future, let's talk about it later.

Feng Yang and Cheng Yuan both clap He Tao on the shoulder and laugh when they look at He Tao's low browed appearance. They have long been ordered by the military that they can take their fast wind riders to Beijing to perform their duties. After several wars, their current manpower is less than 1000 people, which is less than a battalion. The fast wind army really doesn't look like that, so they just sell a favor.

However, when they think of the days when they might be associated with military newspaper slips in the future, they can't help laughing. Cheng Yuan, like He Tao, has only studied elementary school and rural school. Only Feng Yang once studied county school, and his rank in the county examination is good. It's just because there are so many children in his family that he broke his studies and entered the military to get a salary. But even so, some of the clerks of the knife and pen official could not do it. Although they were generals, they were the lowest ranking generals. They were not qualified to join the army, so they had to do it if they could not.

In fact, Lu Que and Gu Qingcheng both know that there is a martial arts lecture hall in the 12th army, which is specially for generals like He Tao, Cheng Yuan, and Feng Yang who have not studied much and who have been promoted by military achievements. As long as you study hard, it's no problem. After all, it's not for you to lead the army. How many things can a battalion of 1000 to thousands of people do. The reason why they didn't say it was that they didn't want the three to be prepared so that they could calm down and learn more.

Battalion generals are just the beginning of generals. If they want to rise further, they need to know more. They only dare to fight and fight, and they are not afraid of death. At most, they are just like now. Although these three men are not brought out by themselves, they are the first army they lead. Naturally, they hope that they can be better in the future.

Lu que asked the three men about the battle of xiaoqingshan before, and then let them rest. As for the defense of the land north of Huangyanjiang River, they didn't ask. If they were only students in the Academy, it wouldn't matter. But now they are the deputy commander of the Imperial Guard and the general of Fengxiang army. It's a taboo to ask about the defense of the southern Xinjiang army, Moreover, this is already the territory of Daqian. You don't have to worry about the necessary night defense.

"Lu que, you have to be careful." See he Tao and other three people have left, Gu Qingcheng whispered.

"Sister Qingcheng, she is selfless and has no desire. I have nothing to worry about." Lu que said, looking at the bonfire in front of him.

"People don't mean to hurt tigers. Tigers are harmful to people's hearts. We still need to have the heart to prevent people."

"Who does sister Qingcheng think is the tiger that harms people and the person who hurts people?"

"Who do you think it is?" Gu Qingcheng put his hands on his knees, put his head on his knees and looked at Lu Que's face.

"I'm not talking about sister Tianxiang." Lu que picked up a branch and fiddled with it in the fire.

"I'm not talking about it."

"Sister Qingcheng, my father and mother are now at the peak of the great calamity and even complete cultivation. They will leave Daqian in a short time to find the way to the best. Daqian is too small for them, and naturally it's not mine. I never thought about staying in Daqian for long, so no matter how rich or rich I am, it's just a passing moment. Just look at it. There's no need to study it too deeply."

"You think so?" Gu Qingcheng looks at Lu Que in surprise. He knows that it's the Lu mansion of Wei state. It's the summit of xungui that he can rest with his country. He never thinks that Lu que never cares about it and says that he will leave Daqian. However, considering his understanding of Lu que during this period of time, he thinks it's natural for him to make such a choice.

"I'll accompany you wherever you go." Gu Qingcheng thought about it, then suddenly laughed and said it in a light and firm tone. This trip to xiyuanze made her know many things in ancient times, such as the magnificent wars among the hundred ethnic groups, the Fanyi Buddhist temple, the ancient tomb of Xihuang, and the mystical beasts. Now, it's not a good thing to leave Daqian to see the vast world.

Lu que felt a touch in his eyes, but he didn't speak.

"You once promised me to visit the eight peaks and ten valleys in the bugui mountain. I also want to see the bugui mountain, which is known as the head of the Jedi. I want to see the green wood tree, the little Bai benzun who lives in the tree, and the Zhuo bird." Gu Qingcheng knows that the Royal spirit beast is the king there. They will not go there in such a crisis as in xiyuanze. The world is curious about not returning to the mountain, and Gu Qingcheng is no exception.

"What about Dingguo government."

"I'm a woman. Naturally, my elder brother will inherit me from Dingguo government. Besides, I've been given marriage to you now. I can only follow you all the way."

See Gu Qingcheng again pull the topic back to the engagement, Lu lack some embarrassed touched his nose.

"Well, I won't tease you any more. It's getting late. I'm going to bed, and you should rest earlier." Gu Qingcheng glanced at Lu que, got up with a smile and went back to the camp.

Seeing Gu Qingcheng leave, Lu que also stands up, looks at the last quarter of the moon in the sky, and murmurs, "is power, status and wealth really so important

Then, familiar or unfamiliar faces flashed in his mind one by one, including the modest and kind-hearted Emperor Yu Yuanxu, the gentle and elegant queen Lu Qin, the smiling Princess Yu Tianxiang, and the innocent and kind-hearted little princess Yu Piaoxiang. On the surface, he was young and mature, but in fact, he was a curious Prince Yu Minghao, and many other important officials in the court.

"The land of right and wrong, what to do." Lu Qin sighed and turned to walk towards his camp.
