The Cannon Fodder and Villain’s Happy Ending

Seeing that the opportunity came, a middle-aged civil servant with a goatee jumped out and said to the emperor in front: "Your Majesty, the third son of Gu is still young, and I am afraid that he is more than enough to be in charge of the peace talks between the two countries."

He said this, and he really thought so in his heart: Just imagine, Beiyan is willing to even 500 horses in order to negotiate a peace. At first glance, it seems that he is sincere. If this peace negotiation is handed over to him, the negotiation can be concluded within ten days. !

Thinking about it, the middle-aged civil official continued righteously: "Your Majesty, as far as my ministers know, King Duan and his concubine are quarreling with each other. Gu San Gongzi's current mind is probably not on the peace talks, and it is inevitable that there are some omissions."

"I also ask the emperor to choose another wise person to take charge of the overall situation. The minister recommends His Royal Highness the second prince. His Royal Highness can make Prince Yelu take the initiative to present the horse. It can be seen that with the talents of Su Qin and Zhang Yi, he will definitely be able to strive for greater interests for my big Qi."

Gu Jing suppressed the corners of his mouth that were about to turn up, bowed his head humbly and said, "Master Xu is overrated.

The father emperor and the son ministers are only doing their bit for Da Qi. "

"..." The emperor looked at Gu Jing and the others below silently.

The huge golden hall fell into silence.

Seeing that the emperor did not immediately object, Gu Jing's eyes lit up with hope, feeling that he had a chance.

Not only Gu Jing thought so, but many ministers also thought the same.

Immediately afterwards, several ministers in the queue of civil ministers stood up one after another, each expressing their own opinions:

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Second Prince is wise and martial, has the style of being a father, and will definitely be able to shoulder this important task."

"My minister agrees."

"..."

"Your Majesty, King Duan holds a heavy army and guards the western border, and is an important minister of the country.

Of course, there is a saying that if one room is not cured, why is the world a family?

Prince Duan’s house is in a state of restlessness, and the third son of Gu is inevitably disturbed. The peace talks between the two countries are no trivial matter and concern the people of both countries. "

The last words were said by Mr. Xu again, and these words were instructive. On the surface, they said that they were worried that the family affairs of Duan Wang’s mansion would affect the peace talks between the two countries. Guarding the Western Frontier", talking about "disturbed incidents" and "Daqi's disaster", was clearly a subtle reminder to the emperor that if Gu Zezhi reached an agreement with Beiyan behind the court's back, it would be unfavorable to Daqi.

Among the courtiers present, there were many old foxes who were cunning and cunning. They immediately heard his voice, with different expressions. Some nodded in agreement, some were noncommittal, some felt that guarding against others was necessary, and some He frowned thoughtfully.

As for those generals, most of them did not express their opinions. After all, King Duan had great military exploits and had always been quite prestigious among generals.

Moreover, since ancient times, the generals who hold military power have become the object of the emperor's jealousy.

The emperor on the golden throne looked on with cold eyes, taking in the expressions of the ministers below.

Four or five civil servants bowed their heads below and asked for Gu Jing's life.

The golden hall was quiet again, and this time, no one spoke for a long time until the emperor's majestic voice sounded:

"That's right."

"Just let the second prince coerce and help Gu Zezhi in the peace talks between the two countries."

Gu Jing was overjoyed when he heard the words, bowed his head and said, "My son will live up to the father's hope."

Gu Jing was not disappointed. He didn't expect the emperor to hand over the peace talks to him at once. It was a very successful start for the emperor to let him participate in the peace talks.

Although he is not the leader now, he is just assisting from the side, but as long as the royal father sees how good he is, he believes that he will squeeze Gu Zezhi out.

Gu Jing stepped back into the queue, with an unusually bright light in his eyes.

He had already written to Xijiang to Gu Chenzhi, Prince Duan, and told Gu Chenzhi that Princess Duan had threatened Duan Wang and Li.

Gu Jing's heart is like a mirror.

The so-called reconciliation, to put it bluntly, is just a trick for women to cry, make trouble, and hang themselves. How could Princess Duan be so easy to reconcile, let alone whether King Duan agreed or not, the imperial family would not agree. As soon as he came out, he just wanted to force Duan Wang to abolish his son and replace him with Gu Zezhi.

He asked Gu Chenzhi to prepare in advance, and Gu Chenzhi would definitely take good care of him.

Next, the Duan Prince's Mansion is likely to be very lively. Gu Zezhi must be too busy to take care of himself, and naturally he has no interest in the peace talks between the two countries. This time, he will definitely be the first in the peace talks.

Gu Jing's eyes became even hotter, almost impatient.

What else was said in the morning, Gu Jing didn't pay attention at all, and his thoughts were entangled in the brothers Gu Chenzhi and Gu Zezhi. After an hour, the morning disappeared.

After retreating, Gu Jing rushed to find Gu Zezhi.

"Uncle," Gu Jing bowed his hand politely at Gu Zezhi, "My father ordered me to assist the uncle in the peace talks between the two countries in the future, and I will ask the uncle for more advice in the future."

His tone sounded very modest and decent, but there was undisguised pride on his face.

The seventeen-year-old youth is still young, at a high-spirited age, and still does not know how to hide his emotions.

Gu Zezhi, who was sitting behind a desk, raised his head from an official document and looked at him with a smile. His warm and jade-like face didn't even lift his brows, so he couldn't tell whether he was happy or angry.

From Gu Jing's point of view, Gu Zezhi was afraid that he got the news one step earlier and knew what happened in the Golden Palace, so he was able to act so calm at this moment.

Gu Jing didn't care either, the key was that the father had already spoken up and down in the morning, so it didn't matter what Gu Zezhi thought.

"Uncle Huang," Gu Jing made a caring and thoughtful look, and said sarcastically, "I know that Uncle Huang has something to do at home recently, and it's too hard to come here, so it's better for Uncle Huang to leave the peace talks to my little nephew, little nephew. It will be arranged properly and will not disappoint the father and uncle."

Gu Jing's words were just deliberately disgusting Gu Zezhi. He knew in his heart that Gu Zezhi couldn't let go easily. After all, compared to Gu Chenzhi, the prince of Duan Wang, who had great military exploits, the current Gu Zezhi has no military exploits. He also has no qualifications, other than occupying the identity of a direct son, what does he compare to Gu Chen?

!

For Gu Zezhi, this peace negotiation is the easiest and most effective opportunity for him to build his career. His father asked him to be in charge of this peace negotiation. I am afraid that he is deliberately flattering him so that he can compete with Gu Chenyi. Only in this way can he make Duan Duan The king abolished the prince.

Gu Jing looked down at Gu Zezhi, who was just a case away from him, with a detached look.

result--

"it is good."

From the beginning to the end, Gu Zezhi only gave this word, then he picked up the blue and white porcelain tea cup at hand, and drank the tea gracefully.

"..."

Gu Jing couldn't believe his ears, his eyes widened slightly, and he looked at Gu Zezhi, who was sitting on the Grand Master's chair a little shorter than himself, with doubts rolling in his heart.

Why is Gu Zezhi willing to take the initiative to back down and let himself be responsible for the peace talks?

It's not like it's just to show it off to yourself, right?

Not likely!

The two of them had already formed a relationship before, and he didn't think Gu Zezhi would have such a broad mind to let go of the past...

Gu Jing suppressed his doubts. No matter what Gu Zezhi's intentions were, for him, the most important thing at the moment was to do the peace talks well. As for Gu Zezhi's intentions, if he had plans, he would sooner or later. self-exposed.

In the next few days, Gu Zezhi really let it go. Gu Jing was like a duck to water, and he had frequent contact with Yelu Luan to discuss the terms of the peace talks between the two countries.

In just two days, Gu Jing asked Yelu Luan to agree to give Da Qi a hundred mare pregnant with cubs in addition to the five hundred Tuque horses. So, on the twenty-fourth day of the first lunar month, the emperor At Gu Jing's request, Prince Tai was dispatched to the northern Xinjiang to receive the 600 Tuque horses.

All eyes in the court and the opposition fell on the second prince Gu Jing, almost no one noticed that Yu Fuyun quietly left the capital, and the emperor once again handed the sixth prince Gu Zhen to Gu Zezhi.

Gu Zezhi's first words to Gu Zhen were: "Xiao Zhen, you have to look slowly with your eyes, think about it after reading it, and tell me when you think you have figured it out."

Gu Zhen blinked a pair of mirror-like eyes, and nodded solemnly: "Thank you for the pointer."

He gave Gu Zezhi a long bow again seriously.

Gu Zezhi smiled slightly, and the next moment, he saw the little guy raised his head and asked in a milky voice, "Uncle Huang, can I go to Cousin Di to play?"

The smile on Gu Zezhi's face deepened. He leaned over and rubbed Gu Zhen's head. His voice was so gentle that it seemed to drip out of water, "Xiao Zhen, when you understand, I will take you there."

There was a bit of coaxing in his voice.

Gu Zhen nodded vigorously, feeling that she must work harder!

Qin Di, who was missed by others, suddenly felt a bit itchy in his throat. He covered his mouth with a handkerchief to clear his throat. When Mrs. Qin saw this, she asked nervously, "Sister Di, are you not catching a cold?"

Mrs. Qin Tai hurriedly ordered the maid to serve Qin Di hot tea, asking for warmth.

"I'm fine."

Qin Di said casually, "Probably who is thinking about me."

Mrs. Qin Tai was still a little nervous, and she hurriedly ordered someone to send Qin Di a hand stove, and then looked at Qin Di flatly and said: "Sister Di, your spring clothes for this season are ready, and you will try it after you go back. , if it is not suitable, there is still time to change it.”

Qin Di likes new clothes, but when he thinks of trying on clothes, his head grows too big.

The ancient clothes are really too complicated, layer upon layer, they can make her sweat every time.

It is estimated that trying on four clothes will be gone in one morning. Why waste this good time trying on clothes!

She smiled and said, "Grandmother, the sewing room's craftsmanship is good, it must be suitable..." There is no need to try.

"Got to try."

Mrs. Qin Tai interrupted Qin Di, patted her little hand and said, "At your age, you are drawing fast. I think you are much taller than last year."

Mrs. Qin Tai showed her favor to Qin Di awkwardly.

Ever since she took back the stewardship right from the Su family, she gradually discovered that the Su family had neglected Qin Di.

Qin Di's last year's autumn clothes and winter clothes were picked by other girls, and the materials and patterns were outdated. The furniture in the room was all old. Not only that, Su Shi also deliberately made things difficult for her during the meal. , to make the servants in the yard not listen to her...

One after another, every time Mrs. Qin Tai thought about it, she felt ashamed to face her dead eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law.

Thinking about it, Mrs. Qin looked at Qin Di with a complicated look.

If it wasn't for this girl's intelligence and cleverness, she might have suffered a lot from the Su family.

Rethinking that this girl has suffered for more than ten years outside, the more Mrs. Qin Tai feels that she really owes this granddaughter.

Du Ruo has served Qin Di for a while, and he also knows the temperament of his own girl, so he persuades: "Girl, you can choose a set and try it."

As Qin Di said, the craftsmanship of the sewing room is good, as long as one set is suitable, the others are not too bad.

Even Mama Cui, who was on the side, came to help.

Facing the three pairs of earnest eyes, Qin Di, who was "only weak and weak", could only nod his head.

Just try it.

Seeing this, Mrs. Qin finally breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly ordered someone to go to the sewing room to spread the word, and then looked at Qin Di flatly and said: "Xiao Di, are you used to the food in the house, do you want grandmother to give it to you? Open a small kitchen?"

During the conversation, Mrs. Qin Tai felt even more guilty.

This girl, Qin Di, grew up in Jinzhou since she was a child. I'm afraid she is not used to the food in the capital. Hey, I really ignored this girl before.

She thought that the Su family was well-rounded. Over the years, the entire Hou Mansion has been well managed. Who would have thought that the Su family was used to doing face-saving skills.

"Thank you grandma."

Qin Di readily agreed.

Although she eats everything, there is nothing she is not used to, but it is definitely more convenient to have a small kitchen in the yard, and she can eat whatever she wants.

Seeing that Qin Di deserved to be refreshing, and she was not polite to herself at all, Mrs. Qin Tai was so happy that she relaxed a lot, and hurriedly ordered Mama Cui: "Mama Cui, hurry up and arrange it, and then give it to Di. My sister sent a daughter-in-law who is good at cooking."

Madam Cui smiled happily and said, "Yes, Madam Tai, this servant will go."

Madam Cui has served by Mrs. Qin's side for so many years, and she naturally knows her temperament. Mrs. Tai is kind-hearted and loves the three girls, but she is indecisive and easy to sway.

Hey, fortunately, I am by my side, so I can watch more. If Mrs. Su is coaxed by Su and Qin Xin again, I can quietly inform the third girl.

When Cui Momo exited, she glanced at Qin Di one more time, and the smile on the corner of her lips deepened.

Mrs. Qin Tai, who was sitting on the kang, took a sip of tea, suddenly remembered something, raised her hand and made a gesture, and the maids in the room withdrew wisely.

"Sister Ji," Mrs. Qin Tai asked cautiously, "do you also know that Duan Wang and Wang Fei are going to reconcile?"

"Know."

Qin Di nodded.

Mrs. Qin Tai sighed in her heart and comforted her softly: "Sister Ji, don't worry, the Hou Mansion will support you."

Qin Di blinked, not quite understanding what Mrs. Qin Tai wanted to say.

In the eyes of Mrs. Qin Tai, she only felt that this third granddaughter was really pitiful. The emperor finally pointed out a good family, but such a thing happened again.

The more Mrs. Qin thought about it, the more distressed she felt for her granddaughter. She twirled the Buddhist beads in her hand and said, "I heard that Princess Duan has already written the book of Heli, but King Duan refused to accept it, so he handed it to the Zongren's mansion."

It was the first time Qin Di heard about this. The tea cup he had just picked up stopped in front of his chest and asked, "Have you written the book of Heli?"

Mrs. Qin Tai nodded in agreement, with a complicated expression, "I just found out today too."

I heard that this morning, Princess Duan sent someone to deliver the Heli book to Duanwang's mansion. As a result, King Duan tore it up directly. Princess Duan was even more ruthless. She sent it directly to the Zongren Mansion, and told her cronies to speak in public: If the Zongren Mansion ignored her, she would not reconcile and leave, and change to Yi Jue.

The Zongren Mansion also had nothing to do with Princess Duan, and now she is having a headache.

Princess Duan's actions were completely unconcealed, and all the palaces in Beijing saw it. Originally, many people thought that Princess Duan said that Heli was retreating to advance, and she wanted to force King Duan to bow his head, but now they see Princess Duan acted so decisively, she clearly did not intend to give Duan any face, and she had to believe that she really wanted to divorce.

If Princess Duan really wanted to be righteous, then the clan would be really shameless.

For fear that Qin Di would be worried, Mrs. Qin Tai didn't say much, just sighed: "Hey.

Princess Duan is also true, she doesn't think about herself, she should think about the third uncle. "

Third Uncle?

! Qin Di was stunned for a while, and then she realized that Mrs. Qin Tai said that the third uncle was referring to Gu Zezhi.

Qin Di had a subtle feeling in his heart, looked at Mrs. Qin Tai's face and said, "Grandmother, Princess Duan did the right thing."

Qin Di didn't say much until she ordered, she just wanted to show Mrs. Qin Tai that she was on Mrs. Xiao's side.

Mrs. Qin Tai: "..."

Mrs. Qin Tai looked at Qin Ji thoughtfully.

Although her granddaughter is young, she is far more transparent than herself. She is just like a sharp eye. Even Daoist Yunguang, who has been swindling and cheating in Beijing for so many years, is in front of her. Since the granddaughter said so, There should be her reasons.

Thinking about it carefully, now Gu Zezhi also has errands, and he will most likely stay in the capital in the future, while King Duan always has to go back to the western border.

In the matter of Heli, the granddaughter still has to go to her mother-in-law. After the granddaughter gets married, she will live with her mother-in-law every day. The mother-in-law thinks of her well, and her life will naturally be much more relaxed.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Qin Tai felt more and more that her granddaughter was justified, so she followed her words: "Sister Ji, you are very knowledgeable. Go see the princess more these days, and accompany her to relieve her boredom."

Mrs. Qin Tai thought about it, and talked a lot.

Half an hour later, when Qin Di left Ronghetang, the whole person was still a little confused. I don't know what happened to Mrs. Qin Tai today, but she always felt like she was a different person.

"Du Ruo..." Qin Di looked at Du Ruo who was beside him. Du Ruo was carrying a food box in his hand, which contained the milk Poria Cream that Mrs. Qin had just given.

Du Ruo waited for Qin Di to speak down, who would have thought, Qin Di turned his head back again, and continued to walk forward in the face of the cold wind.

Forget it, I don't want to.

Qin Di thought to himself, it was a good thing for her anyway.

Qin Di had only taken two or three steps, remembered another thing, and stopped abruptly.

"By the way, Du Ruo, what does Yi Jue mean?"

Qin Di just listened to Mrs. Qin Tai, but didn't understand what it meant.

She only knew that in ancient times there were divorces and divorces.

The former is a man who abandoned his wife in the name of "Seven Out", while the latter should be equivalent to a peaceful breakup?

What about righteousness?

Looking at Qin Di's suspicious eyes, Du Ruo was surprised at first, and quickly found a reason for himself: Hey, the girl is really pitiful.

No one even taught her this common sense.

Du Ruo rationalized his thoughts and quickly explained: "Just like Mrs. Xiao this time, if it can be confirmed, it is indeed the poison that the prince or his concubine gave Mrs. Xiao. It's not Mrs. Xiao's own life, then according to Daqi's rules, Mrs. Xiao can propose to have a righteous relationship with King Duan, and at that time, even if King Duan still refuses to divorce, it will be useless."

Qin Di suddenly realized that it was a forced divorce!

No wonder Gu Zezhi had to go to great lengths to get the monk from Pogo to the capital.

Qin Di thought and nodded: "This righteousness is not bad!"

Otherwise, Duan Wang might be very entangled.

The last time Qin Di heard Mama Wang say that Duan Wang had to go to Goldfish Lane almost every day, and even if he couldn't get in, he would have to linger in front of the door for more than an hour before leaving with a sigh.

Qin Di didn't sympathize with Duan Wang at all. In her opinion, Duan Wang had forced his wife away, and he wanted to look affectionate at this time. Who was he trying to show?

At this time, a little maid in Tsing Yi hurriedly ran towards Ronghetang. Qin Di didn't care, but as soon as the little maid saw Qin Di, she immediately came towards her and said eagerly: "Three Girl, something happened to the uncle!"

Qin Di opened his eyes slightly and asked, "What happened to Big Brother?"

"Three girls, Zhang Chen said that the uncle was injured by falling off the horse, and asked the slaves to report to Mrs. Zhang. Zhang Chen is still in the front yard."

The little girl hurriedly replied.

Zhang Chen is Qin Zening's personal servant, he will come back to report, this must be no small matter.

"I gonna go see."

Qin Di turned around and went to the front yard.

Zhang Chen was walking back and forth outside the Neiyi Gate, already waiting anxiously, looking like he was sweating profusely.

Seeing Qin Di coming over, Zhang Chen hurriedly greeted him, and before she could ask, he said, "Miss San, the uncle has an appointment with a few young masters today, because Young Master Pei just got a BMW, I said that everyone went to try the horse together, and I met Fifth Young Master Su on the road..."

"and many more."

Qin Di interrupted him and asked, "Who is Fifth Young Master Su?"

The interpersonal relationships in the capital are too complicated, and she still has not been able to sort them out.

However, this Fifth Young Master Su's surname is Su, shouldn't it have anything to do with Mrs. Hou's Su family?

Zhang Chen said: "It's Madam's direct nephew, and he's also frequented by our Hou Mansion, but he's always not dealt with the uncle."

Su Xiyang, the fifth son of the Su family, likes to linger in Huajie Liuxiang, and because he was born in an uncle's house, he always uses his power to bully others. Qin Zening's group of noble sons who often play together are too lazy to pay attention to him, and they are never together. Play, each other clearly.

Qin Di: "...you continue."

Zhang Chen said one by one.

This matter is also simple, that is, Su Xiyang took the initiative to provoke Qin Zening, and proposed to have a test with Qin Zening.

Qin Zening is fond of martial arts. These young masters of noble families in the capital have their own pride. If someone challenges them and refuses to agree, then they will retreat without a fight, which is even more shameless than losing. Besides, everyone knows how to talk about horses and archery. , Qin Zening is far better than the mediocre and incompetent Su Xiyang.

So, after Pei Qi Gongzi and the others coaxed, Qin Zening responded.

Unexpectedly, during the competition, Qin Zening accidentally fell off the horse.

After Qin Zening fell from the horse, he injured his leg and could not move for the time being. Young Master Pei Qi and the others were afraid that he would hurt his bones, so they did not dare to move him at will, so they ordered Zhang Chen to go back to the mansion to ask for a doctor. Zhang Chen wanted to come back and report to Mrs. With a bang, bring another carriage to the doctor.

"I'll go too."

Qin Di said decisively, and then asked someone to call Qin Zeyu, and asked Zhang Chen where Qin Zening was now, so he sent Zhang Chen to ask for a doctor, and took Qin Zeyu there first.

Qin Zening and the others were in the western suburbs of the capital.

Since returning from the winter hunting, Qin Di will go to practice horse training when she has time. With Qin Zening's instructions, after two months of training, she is already a qualified beginner and rides decently.

From a distance, Qin Di saw Qin Zening leaning against a tree and seemed unable to move. There were seven or eight young masters in Huafu surrounding him. Among them, the seventh son of Pei was the one Qin Di had met once before. , but she didn't recognize the others.

Five or six paces away, there was a white-faced boy of seventeen or eighteen years old, wearing a lake blue brocade robe. Behind him were two or three oily, pink-faced, thin boys, who looked like a blue-robed boy.

Before he could get close, Qin Di heard Su Xiyang sneeringly say: "...My son is right, Qin Zening, Qin Zening, you are a waste, and you still want to enter because of your meager ability. Fifth Army Camp, still want to compete with this young master, are you worthy?

! "
