The first thousand one hundred and forty-four chapters suddenly realized
The emperor rushed outside the imperial study room and saw Wu Wu kneeling on the ground with a rag stuffed in his mouth. He was still wearing the same plain cassock, but now it was covered with dust and stains of blood, as if in the mud.
It seemed to be rolling in a circle, looking very embarrassed.
"Third brother!" The emperor walked up to Wu Wu. He knelt down and looked at Wu Wu with a sneer in his eyes.
Zhuowu raised his head and glanced at the emperor, and he suddenly chuckled, "I didn't expect that after two years, I would still lose to you! Second brother, give me a good time!"
The emperor suddenly pulled out the long sword of the guard beside him, "Third brother, how good would it be for you to stay at Baoen Temple honestly? Why do you always have to force me? I let you go, so you should let go."
He took a few steps forward and looked at the realization that closed his eyes, "It was you who taught me not to be merciful to my enemies, otherwise I will suffer severe consequences in the future!"
Without waiting for a response, the emperor swung his sword. When the warm blood splashed on the emperor's chest, the emperor could feel the hot blood through his thick clothes, as if it was being branded on his chest.
The emperor's hand holding the sword trembled a little. Looking at Wu Wu lying in a pool of blood, he gasped heavily.
Having killed his own brother with his own hands, the Emperor couldn't tell exactly what he felt in his heart at this moment. Maybe he was relieved, maybe he couldn't bear it, maybe he felt guilty, in short it was very complicated.
"Give him a good burial! Just bury him in the back hill of Bao'en Temple, so as to save some face for him." The emperor threw down the long sword in his hand, turned around and walked towards the imperial study.
Pang Chu, who was on the side, naturally understood the emperor's intention. He realized that he had become a monk and was naturally not a member of the royal family, so he could not be buried in the imperial mausoleum. He even did not have a title so far. According to the emperor's wishes, the tombstone could only be engraved with "
The name of realization.
The emperor entered the study and summoned several ministers to discuss how to clean up the remaining evildoers. After the ministers left, after all the tossing, the emperor felt exhausted both physically and mentally, so he couldn't help but lean back on his armchair and close his eyes to rest.
"Pang Chu!" Suddenly, the emperor remembered something and shouted.
"Your Majesty, Mr. Pang has gone to take care of Master Wu's funeral. Do you have anything to explain?" Xiao Quanzi poked his head in from outside the palace, first cautiously saluted the Emperor, and then waited quietly for the Emperor to issue orders.
"You come and grind ink for me!" The emperor thought for a while, then summoned Xiao Quanzi to serve him.
"Yes!" Xiao Quanzi was so happy that he didn't expect that the emperor would keep him by his side today. Since the late emperor left, he has also received a lot of looks from the palace.
At that time, the late emperor still thought highly of him. Except for De'an and those empresses, these maids and chamberlains, who dared to look down on him? Since he ascended the throne, his status has naturally plummeted.
After all, there are many people waiting around nowadays. How can he get much attention if he is not used to it?
It was only because of today's turmoil that many of the servants who were waiting nearby died, that he seized the opportunity.
The emperor just casually appointed someone to serve him, so he naturally didn't care about the turmoil in the other person's heart. He picked up the pressed memorial and opened it.
This was Gu Chengyu's memorial. It was about Yin Kun's assassination of Chang Yuan. He had read it carefully. The evidence was conclusive that Qi Huanyu colluded with Daxing, so Yin Kun was naturally not guilty.
The emperor thought for a while and said, "Go and send the officials of the Hanlin Academy to draft an imperial edict for me!"
Xiao Quanzi immediately retreated after hearing this. In fact, he still knew a few words, but he never showed it. The chamberlains in the palace were never allowed to be literate. He was not old and could serve in front of the emperor.
Of course it's because he's smart.
He had to hold back on literacy. He still recognized the word "GU" on the memorial that the emperor picked up just now.
"Sir! Prince Jing used a lot of force this time, and Prince Gong suffered a lot."
Hearing this, Gu Chengyu raised his eyebrows and put down the gift list in his hand. He was looking at the New Year's gift sent back to the capital.
"Prince Gong lost a lot of troops this time?" With Prince Jing restraining Prince Gong, Gu Chengyu felt relieved.
"Exactly! Prince Jing's counterattack caught Prince Gong off guard. This time Prince Gong's army suffered heavy losses, estimated to be tens of thousands. Prince Gong has retreated, and Fengqing Mansion won a complete victory this time. It's just that Prince Jing this time
The losses were not small, and the two families fought with real swords and guns."
Ming Yan clenched his fists. Both sides had suffered considerable losses this time, and the border should be stable for a while.
"Prince Gong's foundation is not solid at all. He has suffered a lot this time. I'm afraid there won't be any more action in the short term. The border should be peaceful for a while." Gu Chengyu nodded, and the downtime may be over.
It's just that Prince Jing's foundation is still too weak. Gu Chengyu plans to secretly stir things up from time to time and find something for the two families to do. There can't be a big war, there still have to be small conflicts!
Just like with a child, when he doesn't move, it means something big is going to happen. He only needs to tease him a few times from time to time to keep them busy.
Ming Mo took the gift list from Gu Chengyu and held it in her arms.
"Just give it according to this gift list!" Gu Chengyu was quite satisfied with the gift list. The specialties here are very unique. There are a lot of furs, agates and some precious tonics here, and the prices are not expensive.
"Isn't it too thin at the Zhenguo Palace? There are many people in the Zhenguo Palace. What if we snatch the gift for Miss Yao?" Ming Mo slightly curled her lips, with an obvious smile in her eyes.
Gu Chengyu saw the teasing in Ming Mo's eyes and couldn't help but roll his eyes, "After all, the Zhenguo Palace is an honorable family in the capital, how can it be greedy for such a small fortune? Besides, Miss Yao is another gift card
, these people can’t be so shameless, right?”
Thousands of peaks, bamboo shoots, thousands of jades, thousands of trees and usneas, and thousands of clouds. It is always snowing heavily at the border near the end of the year, and it is difficult to get a clear day.
Unknowingly, Gu Chengyu, who had been at the border for nearly two months, finally received another imperial edict.
"Master Gu, the emperor has ordered you to return to the capital with our family, so that you can be taken care of on the way!"
Gu Chengyu smiled slightly and welcomed the chamberlain into the house. There was a brazier burning in the room. As soon as the chamberlain entered the room, he wiped his face and shivered deeply.
"Eunuch Gao, please sit down quickly!" Gu Chengyu waved to Ming Yan to serve tea. After Eunuch Gao sat down, he looked around the room.
He found that the banquet hall was a bit cold. Most of the houses in the capital were grand and magnificent. In addition to being larger, the layout of this banquet hall was not even comparable to that of Manager Pang's small yard.
"Border passes are a bitter and cold place, especially Yuhe Pass. For those who practice martial arts, the simpler, the better. Please forgive me, Eunuch Gao!"
Gu Chengyu noticed the other person's appraising eyes and knew that he was a snobbery again. If it weren't for his third-grade rank, this kind of person who had been in the palace for a long time would usually like to worship those who are superior and those who are inferior.
