Chapter 155

In a twinkling of an eye, three days later, because of the burden of the horses, Lu's team marched towards zhennanguan at a speed of more than 100 li a day. After three days of walking, they didn't finish half of the journey that they could reach in two days at the speed of a screw horned horse and a fierce wind beast. However, no matter Lu Que and Gu Qingcheng, or he Tao, Cheng Yuan, or Feng Yang, they didn't have any anxiety, because part of the journey coincided with the time when they went south for a few months. Several people were still excited to talk about the galloping horse at that time The battle of chase that galloped through the night.

During this period, they met six or seven patrolling troops of the badminton army and the thunder army. After the defeat of the wild lion army, the thunder army pushed southward to the Huangyanjiang River and confronted the xiyuanze army, who had been transferred back to Tianxing country, across the river. The Jinghai Navy stationed in the Southeast coast of Xinjiang sent a 5000 person fleet to the Huangyanjiang river for cruising, We can only rely on a patrol team of 100 people to continuously patrol to ensure that there is no accident.

More than once, he Tao and others wanted to entrust their supplies to the patrolling cavalry. They went back to zhennanguan first, but Lu Que and Gu Qingcheng rejected them again and again. Even though they were anxious to return to the capital to see their families whom they hadn't seen for several months, they knew that the capital needed time for them, Yesterday's letter from Wei Jiu, the commander of the badminton army, also proves their previous inference.

"Lu que, what do you think the imperial capital wants to do?" Gu Qingcheng, who rode side by side with Lu que, asked in a low voice. A lot of things will happen in a few months, not to mention the great victory in southern Xinjiang in recent months, so Gu Qingcheng can't make a clear judgment on the situation at this time.

"Although there are no courtiers joining the party in Daqian, there are still some factions. The big ones are royal families, nobility, aristocratic families and poor families. The small ones are regional factions and military factions. Last year, there were the rebellion of the eighteen Marquis and the great victory in southern Xinjiang. There must be many changes in the situation in the court. But you and I are not in the capital. We don't know about the demotion of officials at the end of last year, Naturally, there is no way to infer, but since uncle Wei asked us to take a look, he just didn't want us to go back as soon as possible, so this matter has something to do with you and me. " Lu que also whispered.

"Ai ~" Gu Qingcheng suddenly felt a little tired. She was not a person competing for fame and fortune. No matter whether she was in the imperial capital or in the Academy, she was always in the limelight except for her nearly perfect appearance. Whether it was last year's competition for the chief executive or the chief challenge when she took office the year before last, she was eight percent sure that she would be the chief executive, She didn't sign up.

And when she was with Yu Tianxiang, she took the initiative to give her voice to each other. This was not because the other party was a princess, but because of her character. Except for the sense of mission to Da Qian and the desire for a future husband, who was born in high honor, she didn't care much about power and fame.

At this time, the emperor must be fighting for her rights with Lu que. When she thought of this, she felt tired. She even resigned her official title. When Lu que graduated from the Academy, they left Daqian hand in hand to pursue countless secrets and martial arts.

But she knew she couldn't either. Their origins determined that they couldn't be so headstrong. Dingguo government and Weiguo government were the highest lintels of Daqian except the royal family. Their every move involved the fate of too many people.

In particular, Lu Kuo is carrying the hope that the humble family will rise again, and that Da Qian will unify aomuyan in the East. Too many people are waiting for him to become an adult. He is waiting for another military genius after Lu Chun, the Duke of Wei, to lead Da Qian's army to break through the Three Kingdoms in Northern Xinjiang and restore the glory of aomuyan.

"If only we were all born in an ordinary family. After graduation, we could swim freely in the mountains and rivers like sister Qingchen, regardless of these worries." Gu Qingcheng sighs with emotion, and suddenly envies the former chief businessman Qingchen.

Last year, Shang Qingchen graduated from the academy and was invited by the Ministry of rites, Yushitai, Fengxiang army and Fengming academy, but she refused one by one. At last, she left the capital with one sword and disappeared. She accidentally heard from her good friend Yu Tianxiang that Shang Qingchen's departure was a loss to Daqian. Otherwise, she would be more than enough to become a commander of Fengxiang army in more than ten years, This shows that even the dark guards, shadow guards and secret guards directly under the royal family have no whereabouts after Shang Qingchen left.

Although Gu Qingcheng is two years older than herself, Shang Qingchen doesn't have many friends, but she also knows that Shang Qingchen was re elected as the chief of the Academy for four years, which shows her strength. Even her brother Gu Qianxue was suppressed by her for four years. However, such a person chose to leave the world of mortals after leaving the Academy. Gu Qingcheng was surprised and envied by such a decision.

"There will be a day like this." Lu looked to the northern sky and said, "heroes of all dynasties rise like comets and fall like meteors. Few of them can die well. Take Daqian as an example. Lin Sheng and Ren wuhui, bu Shenglian and Baili Chengping in the reign of Emperor Wen and Emperor Wu all came to the peak of officials, but they all chose to resign and retire. Since they can, we can. "

"Will the Lu family promise you to do so?" Gu Qingcheng hears speech in the heart a joy, immediately some worry of ask a way. Lu family is different from Gu family. Gu family and Gu Qianxue inherit the title, but Lu family has only Lu que. After Lu Chun returned to his country and was granted the title of Duke of Wei, the Lu family of Yushan County scattered all over the country, all of them hope for the Duke of Wei. How can Lu Que's uncles and elders let him resign a few years later?

"In my heart, there are only father and mother in the Lu family. At most, there is a Fubo, and now there is sister Qingcheng. As for other people, if they want to seek self-interest at the convenience of the government, I don't know what my father thinks, but it's impossible for me. The glory of the Lu family never comes from ghosts and tricks. They want to get it by themselves."

Gu Qingcheng smell speech facial expression a red, secretly Piao Lu short one eye.

Lu que seems to have thought of something. He goes on to say, "it's time for Daqian's nobility and aristocratic family to be renovated. It's just the time for the internal troubles to be eliminated and the external enemies are still there. Your majesty can't do anything. Every generation has something to do. Your majesty has accumulated Daqian's national strength to the peak since the founding of the people's Republic. Then your majesty should want to leave these things to Minghao."

Gu Qingcheng was shocked when she heard that she had never thought of this level before. As Lu que said, the great Qian state is in full swing now. The war against the two countries in southern and Northern Xinjiang must be put on the agenda by the foreign cabinet. Once the great Qian unified the east of Qingmu, what she should do is to clean up the internal abuses, such as seeking private benefits, seizing public property, seizing public property The xungui family in Yurou village must bear the brunt.

And this kind of thing can not only safeguard the imperial power, but also win the hearts of the people. As long as the prince Yu Minghao ascends the throne and does it, he can get the evaluation of a Mingjun in the history books. Now his majesty does not do it, not only because the time has not come, but also because some things will be better left to later generations to do. This is the imperial mentality.

Thinking of those Gu people who are not very peaceful in different places, Gu Qingcheng thinks it is necessary to remind his father and second uncle that if the distant cousin bullies the local market before he appears, it may involve them in the government. Thinking of this, Gu Qingcheng has a fierce look in her eyes. She has an idea of separating her clan from those people. But now the head of Gu's clan is her father Gu Huairen, and she still has to listen to her father's ideas.

"Well, let's not talk about that." Seeing that Gu Qingcheng's face is constantly changing, Lu que knows that she has listened to him. As for the future, he is not in charge of it. Their Lu family has just been appointed Duke of Wei for one year, and their father ignores all the requests of the people. Naturally, there are not so many bad things about taking care of the family.

"Sister Qingcheng, Bai Xia came back yesterday, stayed for a while and then left. Where did he go?" Lu que thought of the white wolf king who came to the temporary camp last night to have a barbecue and then left.

Gu Qingcheng knew that Gu's clan was not something he could control, so he kept it in his heart. When he went back, he asked his father to solve the problem. Hearing Lu Que's question, he said with a smile, "the wolves had already run away. He found several of them, and now he went to collect them. According to Zhao Baixia, he is the king of wolves. If there are no wolves under his command, he is also called the king of wolves."

"What it says is that in the picture of mountains and seas, it has a huge pack of wolves in snow mountain. Without its pack to resist the tide of animals, I may not be able to get out." Lu que suddenly realized that it was his nature for the wolf king to lead the wolves, even the spirit beast.

"Ah, by the way, Bai Xia said to wait for us on the North Bank of Danshui." Gu Qingcheng said again.

"It's also a good thing to do that. If it's slow for a year, if it's fast for half a year, the war in southern Xinjiang will start again. At that time, the Fengxiang army will go south, and it will be very convenient to have wolves."

"And Zhai Ning." Gu Qingcheng said with a smile that she understood Lu Que's meaning. Before the battle of Danshui or hexingyuan, the wolves led by the white wolf king had made great contributions. With this wolf group on the side, when she led the troops south again, there would be some convenience that others didn't have. In addition, Zhai Ning, the dark son Lu que had buried in advance, was in the situation, whether Zhai Ning wanted to or not, We must stand on the side of Da Qian.

"Zhai Ning?" Lu que thought for a moment, "sister Qingcheng, about Zhai Ning, I'll contact him after I cross the river. Otherwise, something might happen."

"I know." Gu Qingcheng nodded, and then looked to the north with a twinkling of eyes. "I don't know what form the capital is now."

"That's not what we can worry about now. We just need to go back later. Naturally, father, mother and uncle Gu will arrange things in Beijing."

Just as Lu Que and Gu Qingcheng are thinking about the situation in the capital, Qian Emperor Yu Yuanxu is pacing in Ziji hall. Wang Zan, the chief supervisor of the inner prison, bows to one side and binds his hands. In front of him is Zhongyang Wang Yu Yuanpu, one of the three phases of the outer Pavilion. At this time, Yu Yuanpu is holding the news of Lu Que and Gu Qingcheng's return from zhennanguan with flying eagle.

"Yuanpu, what do you think?" After Yu Yuanpu finished reading the letter, Emperor Yu Yuanxu asked.

"Shen Zhang passed it on directly to his brother. He didn't pass through our pavilion. Obviously, he didn't want people to know. Everything depends on his brother's meaning." Yu Yuanpu's eyebrows jump slightly, and he naturally understands the meaning of his elder brother's long story. However, Lu Que and Gu Qingcheng are already in the third grade military positions. As a military prime minister, he already feels that the present awards are too heavy, and he doesn't want to take this opportunity to promote them. But it's all Lu's business. Thinking of his elder sister Yu Chuqing, he can't say anything to refute, so he can only make peace.

"Three days ago, the white feather jackdaw returned to Beijing. I think the elder sister, brother-in-law and Gu Guogong have got the news, but they didn't inform me when they went to the palace. How did they think of it?" Yu Yuanxu brows a coagulation, not angry to see Yu Yuanpu one eye, think since you don't want to say, then I can only force you to say.

"Brother Huang, elder sister Chang is very resourceful. Her brother-in-law is as wise as a sea. Ding Guogong is well-informed and has a strong memory. Where are their thoughts that my brother can guess, but I think they should have forgotten to inform brother Huang because of the missing son and Qingcheng girl's safe return." Yu Yuanpu's eyes moved slightly and pushed the topic back.

Yu Yuanpu knows that all he does is to pave the way for the crown prince Yu Minghao, and Lu que is his chosen good minister. But he always thinks that it is not a good thing to be promoted too fast. Even though Lu Que's talent is no less than that of Lu Chun, he still needs to polish it.

But he is Lu Que's uncle and the prince's uncle. It's not convenient for him to talk about many things. The royal family has no personal relationship, and family affairs are state affairs. At this time, all he can do is to avoid suspicion. After all, there is only one throne, and there is Dongping King's rebellion. If he blocks again and again, who knows what elder sister and brother will think of him.

"You ~" Yu Yuanxu points at Yu Yuanpu. Now Yu Yuanpu, like those courtiers in the court who can only say the emperor is holy and bright, puts everything on his head. Anyway, you are the emperor. We just do what you say. As for the responsibility after the event, I'm sorry, you have to carry it on your back.

"Wang Zan, show Zhongyang king the will I just made up, and let our military Prime Minister give us some advice." Looking at Yu Yuanpu's pretending to be a fool, Yu Yuanxu wants to give him two punches as a child. He says a word to Wang Zan, but he doesn't return to the throne. He casually finds a seat in the palace and sits down, looking at his younger brother.

Yu Yuanpu took the imperial edict that had not yet been sealed with a seal. As expected, it was an intention to pursue the seal. Lu que was appointed commander of the second grade army, and Gu Qingcheng was the commander of the second grade Imperial Guard. In the military system of Da Qian, the first grade is the prime minister, the second grade is the commander-in-chief, the second grade is the commander-in-chief of the 12th army, and the second grade is the commander-in-chief of the 24th army. This is almost the top military position of Da Qian. Seeing the content of the will, Yu Yuanpu frowned slightly.

Although Yu Yuanpu had this psychological preparation since the news came out that the emperor wanted to pursue them in Beijing, it was based on the premise that Lu Que and Gu Qingcheng died for their country. Now it is clear that they will return to Beijing in a month, and it is not proper to make such a will. Even if they are talented again, they are still too young to convince the public.

"Brother Huang, why do you have to be so anxious?" Yu Yuanpu looks at the emperor puzzled. Now that the emperor is prosperous in spring and autumn, he has a lot of time to train talents. He really can't understand why his elder brother, who has always been mature and prudent, should be so impatient in this matter.

"Alas, I can't suppress my accomplishments." Yu Yuanxu sighed. He didn't know that it might cause a series of chain reactions. But he had a feeling that he would break through to the realm of catastrophe in one or two years. When the time comes, he would worry about the coming of the robbery and then worry about the state affairs. That would be death.

Moreover, he also knows that elder sister Yu Chuqing and her brother-in-law Lu Chun are at the peak of the great calamity, and they will also leave Daqian to pursue the path of becoming human within one or two years. Compared with the long road of martial arts longevity, Daqian's glory and power are really nothing, otherwise he would not be so anxious to support Lu que.

Yu Yuanpu was surprised when he heard that as a member of the royal family, he didn't know that it was almost the custom of the previous emperors of the great Qian Dynasty to abdicate to seclusion. However, Yu Minghao, the crown prince, was young. In order to avoid the situation that the LORD was weak and his ministers were strong, he had to be escorted. Among the younger generation, except Yu Tianxiang, the eldest princess, there was only Lu que.

"I see, brother." Yu Yuanpu nodded seriously. He finally understood why he wanted to do this.

Among all the emperors of the great Qian Dynasty, Yu Yuanxu, the current emperor of the great Qian Dynasty, was the youngest to ascend the throne at the age of 18. Before that, the youngest was Emperor Wu, who ascended the throne at the age of 28, and then their father, Emperor Xuan, who ascended the throne at the age of 30. Even two years later, the crown prince Yu Minghao was less than 15 years old. He was the youngest emperor in the history of Daqian. At that time, Yu Yuanxu was assisted by the eldest princess Yu Chuqing, and Lu Chun, the commander-in-chief of Northern Xinjiang, was in charge of the army.

Yu Minghao, the crown prince, is still younger than Yu Yuanxu. Naturally, he needs the support of an important official, and this important official must be a person of his own generation, so Yu Tianxiang and Lu que are the best candidates.

"What do you think of Lu que?" Yu Yuanxu raised his eyelids and looked at the dignified Zhongyang king.

"Now I'm worthy of being a young hero, but I'm a good minister. As for the future, my younger brother can't say well, but he's the son of elder sister. I don't think it's a problem." Yu Yuanpu thought over his words and said.

"I'm sure I'm not mistaken." Yu Yuanxu seems to think of something, some lonely said, "elder sister and brother-in-law is too careful, I'm not a suspicious person, if they are willing to stand up, whether it is southern Xinjiang or northern Xinjiang can be decided overnight, but since they do not want to go out of the mountain, this matter can only fall on their sons."

Here, Yu Yuanxu looks at Yu Yuanpu solemnly. "Yuanpu, you and Yuangao will have to look at the land of Daqian in the future. We should treat Lu que sincerely, that is to say, it is not suitable for him to use and prevent. I don't lack anyone who writes books and makes suggestions. What we need is a commander who can sweep the six harmonies. Lu que is not a person who transcends the rules. Listen to it and believe it."

"I understand."

The two brothers talked again. Yu Yuanpu walked out of the Ziji hall with the imperial edict stamped with the jade seal and stood at the gate of the hall overlooking the capital. Yu Yuanpu could not help the ups and downs of the new tide. Looking at the layers of clouds in the sky, he murmured, "it's going to change, where should I go? Brother Huang, elder sister Chang, brother-in-law, Lu que ~ ~"
