"One more thing, I also caught Zhou Yuancong who escaped this time!"
"Oh? Seriously? That's great! Where is he now?" Even though the prince had such a calm temperament, he couldn't help but beam with joy.
This Zhou Yuancong must have been instigated by someone to dare to start a fan. Otherwise, with such a small number of people, he wanted to stir up trouble? That is undoubtedly a fool's dream.
There were many imperial guards and secret guards around the prince, and they wanted to capture the prince in one fell swoop. Gu Chengyu felt that Zhou Yuancong's ability was probably a bit behind.
"Having been imprisoned in Dali Temple together with the assassin, I thought it would be better to interrogate the master behind this person earlier to avoid a long night of nightmares."
The prince naturally knew this truth. He thought for a while and said: "You and I will interrogate those who are with Zhou Yuancong at this moment, and you must find out who is behind it."
The prince's eyes were gleaming, and he hoped to hear the answer he wanted from Zhou Yuan's mouth this time.
Gu Chengyu quickly nodded in agreement. He did want to interrogate those assassins. After all, the senior brother was still at the border gate. If there was any change in Daxing, that border gate would definitely bear the brunt.
"Let's go!" The prince took a few steps forward, then seemed to think of something and looked back at Gu Chengyu.
"Lord Gu! I see that you are very skilled in martial arts, and you can easily defeat a hundred enemies with one. In recent years, Daxing has repeatedly harassed the border areas, and his intentions are to be punished. However, in this dynasty, there is no battle-hardened general to resist Daxing's ambitions.
It’s getting bigger and bigger. When the imperial grandfather was conquering the country, he was surrounded by powerful advisers, and that’s how he became the great country he is today.”
"But when it is my father's turn to guard the country, most of our famous generals in Dayan have gone. Now, even if there are still strong generals, they are only few. Therefore, I have been worrying about this matter in recent days.
"
The prince frowned slightly, looked at Gu Chengyu's calm face and sighed.
Gu Chengyu's heart sank. What did this mean? Do you want him to guard the border?
There was silence in the palace for an instant. The prince didn't see anything unusual on Gu Chengyu's face, and he wasn't even surprised. Could it be that Gu Chengyu had known about this a long time ago?
In fact, Gu Chengyu was really surprised at this time. He had been busy since last night, how could he receive the news so quickly?
It's just that he doesn't like to show his thoughts on his face, and what he is thinking about now is who brought up this matter.
Xia Qing has been imprisoned in Dali Temple, and all his members are dormant for fear of being implicated. How can they dare to come out?
He pondered for a while and then thought of several major families in the capital. He also knew that his presence blocked the way of those civil servants.
It's just that he wants to be promoted now, so how can he care about others?
If he had already been promoted to the first rank today, then he wouldn't mind keeping a low profile. But before that, in order to quickly improve his rank, he naturally couldn't keep a low profile.
Those who can make such suggestions are only a few high-ranking officials in the court. Even those with lower rankings dare not go against him.
Those people had a good plan and wanted him to leave the capital so as not to hinder them.
Gu Chengyu sneered inwardly, before the prince ascended the throne and Daxing was still watching him, these people actually started to exclude dissidents.
You need to know that after the nest is overturned, there are no eggs left. Now that Daxing has broken into the palace, are these people not worried at all?
Only when the dynasty is stable can officials like them enjoy endless glory and wealth. Why do they all have such narrow visions and only focus on the one-third of an acre of land in the court?
"Master Gu, as you can see, Dayan is actually not peaceful now. If there is no strong general to frighten Daxing, our Dayan will be in danger!"
After finishing speaking, the prince sighed deeply, retracted the steps he had just taken, turned around and sat in front of the desk.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince! There are countless martial arts masters in this world. After you ascend the throne, you will grant amnesty to the world and open martial arts competitions. At that time, you will not be able to choose the heroes of the world? Your Majesty has been in low spirits in the past years, and this martial arts competition is also not popular. Although it is great,
Yan values civilization over military affairs, but the peace of the border must still be maintained by these generals."
There was a slight smile on Gu Chengyu's face, but she didn't feel any displeasure.
The prince also knew that this matter was a bit difficult. Gu Chengyu's political achievements were not small, how could he give up literature and join the military?
In fact, he didn't need to ask Gu Chengyu what he meant. After he ascended the throne, he would be the leader of the Ninth Five-Year Plan. If he insisted on sending Gu Chengyu to the border, would Gu Chengyu still dare to resist the order?
It's just that now that he is still the prince, his father's instructions to Gu Chengyu before his death are like a sharp sword hanging above his head, so he can't push Gu Chengyu into panic.
What's more, Gu Chengyu's strategy is extraordinary, and he will have to rely on him more in the future.
"Your suggestion is indeed good, but looking at the situation at the border now, I'm afraid I won't be able to wait until then. It's the middle of winter, and the people of Daxing are suffering from hunger and cold. They must have been eyeing the people at the border for a long time. Besides, this time
If Daxing dares to send so many assassins to our territory, there may be some big conspiracy brewing."
The prince looked at Gu Chengyu with hope, hoping that Gu Chengyu would take the initiative to share his worries and solve his problems.
"Your Highness! Xianguan has been studying for ten years since he was five years old, just to be able to take the imperial examination and become an official. You also know that Xianguan's mother was born as a maid, and she often felt sad about it. Xianguan has secretly sworn since he was studying,
One day, I must let my mother wear that phoenix crown and harem. This is the filial piety that a son of man should fulfill."
Gu Chengyu suddenly mentioned his mother's background, which made the prince stunned. Then he saw Gu Chengyu's calm face, and he felt a little relieved.
A son doesn't think his mother is ugly, and a dog doesn't think his family is poor. It turns out that Gu Chengyu became an official in the imperial examination, and his mother was the reason.
The prince nodded, "Master Gu is a person who values friendship and righteousness. This is the filial piety we should fulfill. There are superficial people everywhere in the world. You don't need to pay attention to such villains who follow the crowd."
"Your Highness is right! In fact, at that time, I was more interested in martial arts than I was in military affairs, but my mother often said that if she became that military commander, she would not be able to return home for decades, so what would she do if she missed her son? But if she had to leave her hometown, she would have to leave her hometown.
If you don’t want to, it’s hard to leave your homeland. I have no choice but to give up martial arts and follow civil service.”
Gu Chengyu also sighed slightly, seeming to have some regrets about what happened back then.
The prince was startled, it turned out that he was going around in circles just to pressure him with his filial piety.
"After learning literary and martial arts, you will be able to serve the emperor's family. No matter whether you are a literary or a martial artist, you will ultimately serve the imperial court. I should have taken care of His Highness the Crown Prince, but I had no choice but to have filial piety and couldn't bear to refute my mother's wishes.
, please forgive me, Your Highness."
A look of embarrassment appeared on Gu Chengyu's face. He knew that the prince would not force him too much. After all, the prince had not yet ascended to the throne of God!
As long as the reason for rejection is acceptable on the surface, would anyone else ask Lu about it?
Since ancient times, it has been difficult to have both loyalty and filial piety. Although according to the principles of justice, one must naturally choose to be loyal. But as he just said, his mother did not want him to take up a military position.
