A Thousand Gold Order: Inheritance

Chapter 180 Faint Lord? (two more)

"It is said that Miss Gu of Pingguo Duke's Mansion ran thousands of miles to collect the remains of His Royal Highness Lin, and personally went outside the pass to collect his remains!" Qin Song said, "Your Gu family really never suspected the reason for the failure of that battle? Or is it because Miss Gu has become the mother of the current dynasty, your Pingguo government has become a vested interest, and you don't care what the truth is?"

"Qin Song!" Gu Zhan's face changed suddenly, and he scolded in a deep voice, "Don't talk about it and slander my sister's reputation."

Qin Song's title, at first glance, would make people confused.

But Gu Zhan is not yet married. In the Pingguo Palace, there is only one person who can be called "Miss Gu" in the past [-] or [-] years. She is Gu Zhan's only direct sister, who is now Queen Gu in the palace.

Qin Song obviously meant something——

Using this old name implies some old things.

There is a twelve-year age difference between Gu Zhan and Queen Gu.

Although Gu Zhan was only four years old, his sister entered the palace, but because of his mother's early death, Queen Gu has always raised him and brought him up. The relationship between him and his sister is very close.

The emperor's direct brother, Lin Wang Yunxiang, was two years older than Empress Gu, because he was a martial artist since he was a child, and the former emperor loved Yao'er more, so he pampered him more.

When he was twelve years old, he got the permission from the late emperor to learn martial arts from the father and son of Duke Pingguo. Apart from practicing martial arts, he also learned the skills of arranging troops.

For seven or eight years before and after that, he took Pingguo Duke's Mansion as his home, came in and out at will, and even stayed here permanently.

If the war in the northwest is serious and the Gu family and his son are stationed at the border, he will follow.

He was too young to go to the battlefield, and the Pingguo government didn't dare to let him go to the battlefield casually. He just stayed in the barracks to take care of the supplies in the rear, and did what he could, and taught him some more when the Gu family and his son were free.

And Gu Zhan's mother was different from his grandmother who came from a military general's family. She was a typical lady from a family.

The Duke of the State was sympathetic to his son when he was young and the husband and wife would get together less and leave more. When the war was not busy, he would send him back to Beijing for a while.

The late emperor was already old at that time, so naturally he also missed his youngest son.

Therefore, at this time, Yun Xiang also returned to Beijing with the eldest son of the Gu family.

But he is a very diligent person, and he never slack off his studies when he returned to Beijing. In order to facilitate his practice and ask Gu Zhan's father for advice at any time, so in those few years, even if he was in Beijing, he always lived in the Pingguo Mansion, only in the morning and evening. Ding province, go to the palace to greet the emperor.

In order to make it easier for him to come and go in Gu's house, he also formally worshiped tea and worshiped his teacher, and recognized the old man as his teacher.

But, he was born in the royal family, and he is a very distinguished direct prince. Everyone knows that the Gu family is just carrying a false name.

During those years, Gu Wanwan, the eldest daughter of the Gu family, also grew up day by day.

But she is not as fragile as her mother. Instead, she follows the temperament of the man in the family and her grandmother.

However, countless men in the Gu family had died in the past, and the old Duke and the eldest son refused to agree. The biggest compromise they made was to allow her to wield knives and guns and learn some boxing skills for self-defense.

As for more...

Then absolutely not.

Therefore, during the years when Yun Xiang lived in Pingguo's mansion, the two of them often practiced kung fu together with Gu Zhan's father, the late eldest son.

Gu Zhan and Qin Song were both children at that time.

Although Qin Song has begun to remember things, but the two families are not familiar with each other, he will not pay attention to the affairs of other adults.

And Gu Zhan——

But she was really too young, and the things about her own sister were actually told by people when she grew up.

At that time, the eldest lady of the Gu family was talented and beautiful. Although she practiced martial arts, she was not aggressive.

In addition, her family's family background is impeccable, so she was very popular in the marriage market in those few years.

Although there was no ambiguous gossip between her and that Lin Wang...

However, in the general environment where girls generally get engaged at the age of fourteen or fifteen, and marry as soon as they reach the age of Ji, she did not settle down to a husband's family until she was seventeen. Lin Wang Yunxiang is a childhood sweetheart.

But the situation at the time was——

It has not been long since King Xin's rebellion case passed, and the hearts of the people are still impetuous. The newly enthroned Emperor His Majesty has the physique and temper of a scholar.

Under such circumstances, it is generally impossible to ask his younger brother, who is also a direct descendant, to marry the Pingguo Duke's mansion who holds a heavy army.

It happened that the war in the south was very tense at that time, King Lin invited himself to go to the border town to garrison.

Then, he stayed there for half a year, and in that year——

Dacheng's newly usurped emperor launched a surprise attack. Taking advantage of the New Year's Eve, when the guards and civilians in the border towns were slack, the army suppressed the border.

The battle started smoothly on the night of New Year's Eve, and within three days, the border town of Jianyang was destroyed by the enemy.

Qin Song's father was killed by a poisoned arrow in the battle of defending the city on the first day of junior high school, and died for the country.

Yun Xiang must have had a premonition that he would be defeated in this battle, so he sent someone to collect his body and escort him northward.

After the city was broken, he led the remnants of the troops, occupied and retreated, and survived for another three days.

finally--

Died in the confrontation in Darkmoon Canyon.

At that time, it was he who led his troops to seize the advantageous area and set up an ambush, blocking the Dacheng army whose morale was high and marching all the way north.

With outnumbered enemies, it is doomed to be a defeat.

Just to save some more time for the people who are evacuating.

The battle ended in the middle of the night, the lights were dark, and the canyon began to rain again at night. Dacheng had just fought a battle and was exhausted, so he withdrew from the canyon to rest.

But the next day, when they went to clean the battlefield again, they searched through the piles of broken limbs and couldn't identify which one was the body of the great coach Yunxiang.

But in this battle, they definitely slaughtered the last remnants of Jianyang City.

In order to ask for credit and continue to boost morale, the opposing coach simply randomly pulled out a similar-looking corpse from the pile of dead people, dragged it back to Jianyang City, and humiliated the corpse to celebrate.

But two days later, there was news from the Dajin side that Gu Wanwan, the eldest lady of Pingguo Duke's mansion, personally helped King Lin's coffin and entered Yanling Pass.

She took her followers and went out overnight to retrieve the broken body of King Lin. After explaining to the officers and soldiers of Yanling Pass, she continued to dispose of the body of the nineteen-year-old most noble prince of the royal family all the way. Brought back to the capital for burial.

In the first month of the lunar year, the whole country mourned greatly.

But only after finishing the one-month funeral process for King Lin, on the second day after leaving the country for the funeral, the emperor's canonized imperial decree entered the Pingguo Palace, and finally filled the place where his harem position had been vacant for several years. That is missing.

At that time, this incident happened very suddenly and hastily, almost beyond everyone's expectation.

The imperial decree of the emperor was promulgated on February [-]th, and the wedding and empress dowager ceremony was held on February [-]th.

The explanation given by the emperor at the time was that after a funeral event that the whole country mourned, he wanted to be happy.

Moreover, as an elder brother, he specially ordered to observe the national mourning for King Lin for a month. This is already an exceptional grace. Now that the national mourning period is over, whose family can't live as usual?
Moreover, Gu Wanwan is not a prostitute, or a widow with children.

If we only talk about family background and personal conditions——

To put it bluntly, if she wants to be this empress, all the girls waiting to be married in the capital will have to make way for her.

Because, she really does her part and is impeccable!
Although the time was very short at that time, the emperor held the Empress Dowager Ceremony with unprecedented grandeur, without any sloppiness.

It was a pretty perfect start for a new couple.

And then, in the ten years that followed, the emperor and the empress were indeed in harmony, each performing their duties, and the front and rear palaces became more and more smooth and stable, and the situation was flourishing day by day.

In fact, there was no sign of the imperial decree of the emperor's marriage at that time, and it was still stuck at the moment when King Lin died, which seemed...

Quite a look of can't wait!

It bothered and shocked everyone for a long time.

But when Queen Gu was in her boudoir, she never made an engagement.

Although sometimes she and Yunxiang appear on the same occasion, people will ambiguously speculate that they are a talented couple, but after all, the two of them are law-abiding in public, and they have never violated the rules, and they have not spread it in private. what gossip...

What's more, His Majesty the Emperor has been a tolerant, easy-going and honest man since he was the prince. A person who stabs his brother twice in order to grab a woman.

not to mention--

Now Qin Song is implying that in order to rob Empress Gu and kill his love rivals, the emperor used all means to design the defeat of the battle in Jianyang City fifteen years ago!

Tens of thousands of people died in battle, and three cities were seized by the empire. Such a crime, even the king of a country, cannot easily bear it!

His idea is not only dangerous, but also crazy!

Gu Zhan became angry with embarrassment, lost his composure completely, grabbed Qin Song by the collar, and stared into his eyes warningly: "Qin Song, I know that you lost your father when you were young, and you have suffered a lot these years to support your family business. , I can understand how upset you are about this in your heart. But this kind of thing... If you want to talk about it, you have to provide real evidence. This is not someone's private matter. You and I both made their fortunes in the military. Most of all, I know the sadness and difficulty of this. In the battle of Jianyang City, tens of thousands of heroic souls were buried. For the country and the people, they died in battle. This is their glory. Do you know that you maliciously speculate on your majesty? It's a small matter, but you are also insulting them and insulting the heroic spirits who died in battle!"

Not being able to live in a peaceful and prosperous world means that some people have to carry forward with heavy burdens, stand up, and shoulder the heavy responsibility of defending the country for more people.

Those who spend the whole day in the splendor of the capital, and then go to intrigue and scramble for power and profit when they are full, don't understand!
In the history books, how many good generals can leave their names?
But the countless bones under the butcher's knife on the battlefield have never been countless.

Who wants to die if they can live?

Especially those soldiers at the bottom, since they have already fought bloody battles, even if they can't leave their names in history...

Then at least, we have to give them the last honor.

Although Gu Zhan was only nineteen years old, the same age as the Lin King when he died in battle, he had joined the army early and had seen too many tragedies of life and death on the battlefield.

A soldier, he died for the country and the people, at least he is worth it!

But if he was calculated to lose his life just because of the selfishness of their king...

So what are they?
Gu Zhan's eyes were red, filled with overwhelming anger.

When Qin Song killed him, even when he almost put him to death, he was not overwhelmed by anger.

At this moment, his emotions were really uncontrollable.

Qin Song didn't mind him making such a move, but just looked back at him without avoiding it.

The smile lines raised at the corners of his lips were still there, but the malicious smile in his eyes was suppressed, and was replaced by irrepressible anger.

He also retorted tit-for-tat: "It's not your turn to explain the truth to me. Although my Qin family did not start as early as your Gu family, my backbone is not softer than your family. I just want my father to die worthwhile. The righteousness of the world You don't need to tell me the truth. As a general, who didn't think of dying at the moment when he joined the army and rushed to the battlefield? Defending the family and defending the country is a worthy death, so I will admit it, but my father's life must not be buried in a fool hand!"

As he spoke, he took Gu Zhan's hand away from his collar.

He walked to the side, patted the folds of his neckline, and said coldly: "Queen Gu is your own sister. I can understand that you want to be blind and not face up to these doubtful points and the past. But I, Qin Song, don't allow sand in my eyes." , I will never let my father die in vain!"

It was so strange to lose that battle back then.

The frontier town that has been guarded for decades, although everyone knows that Dacheng is restless and often invades, it is not easy, but all the generals have defended it.

However -

Just lost it in the hands of Lin Wang Yunxiang?
When Yun Xiang died, Gu Zhan was still too young, and even now he only vaguely remembers that there was one person, no matter how many——

But he couldn't even remember what he looked like.

But later, when he grew up and became sensible, the time has passed.

Empress Gu and Duke Ping, these years, no one would take the initiative to mention the boy who had a close relationship with their family in front of him these years.

as if--

Secretive?

Gu Zhan didn't think much of it if he didn't think about it before. It's a sad thing to bring up an old person who has passed away anyway. No matter who he is, he will be fine and talk about him, right?
but--

After all, he was the younger generation that his grandfather was most optimistic about, and he was the companion who accompanied his sister's growth in the most innocent and beautiful time...

It is not a secret that Empress Gu rode thousands of miles alone to collect Yun Xiang's body in person, and the world passed it down as a good story about the Gu family's love and righteousness, and it was once talked about very much.

At least Gu Zhan knew about this.

He knows his sister well, and since she did this without hesitation and risk, it shows that this person is really important to her——

Whether it's the friendship between childhood sweethearts, or just like Qin Song guessed, they actually had a relationship between men and women!
It is such an important person, if he died, if there is no taboo, he must miss it once or twice by chance, right?
However, no!
At least in his memory, his grandfather and sister never once took the initiative to bring up any old events related to Lin Wang Yunxiang.

as if...

That person has never appeared in their lives at all.

Even, when he was still young, he remembered a time when a few young maids in Fengming Palace talked about the youngest son of the former emperor in a private chat. At that time, Empress Gu was not there, but those maids were killed by Jiao Mama. Mammy caught them, slapped them severely, and ordered them never to mention that person in the palace.

Gu Zhan's mind suddenly became extremely chaotic.

All these years, he has only focused on practicing martial arts and learning how to use soldiers. He only wants to grow up as soon as possible and be able to take charge of himself. As for never paying extra attention to these "trivial things".

Qin Song suspected that the death of his father Qin Yufeng and Lin Wang Yunxiang was the emperor's conspiracy. If he wanted to take revenge completely, he would have to kill the king, and such a careless move would implicate the whole family, so no matter how much he hated him, he would not openly do that.

But in the end—

Still angry.

Therefore, when he got the chance last time, he wanted to push the boat along the way and ask those rebels to kill the emperor's only son who is most valued by the emperor!

The logic of his behavior is completely explained...

But Gu Zhan recalled all the past years, his impression of the emperor, he still didn't believe that His Majesty the emperor would be such a person.

and--

His sister, Xiuwai Huizhong, has never been a fool, nor is she so easily deceived!
Even if he didn't believe in the emperor, he was sure that his sister would not be so stupid as to be deceived by the pillow man for more than ten years without knowing anything.

Qin Song looked at his reaction from the side, and couldn't help but sneered again: "Anyway, this is how it is. You can say that I am blindly speculating, or maliciously killing people...or you want to report me to His Majesty. never mind."

Although he would not easily take risks with his family, since he did what he should not do, Qin Song would not be able to do the hypocritical confession and begging for mercy at this time.

These thoughts have been entangled in his heart all these years, and they are extremely suppressed.

Finally said it today...

Even facing Gu Zhan, Qin Song suddenly felt an unprecedented ease.

Gu Zhan stabilized his mind, his gaze became resolute again, and he said word by word: "I believe in His Majesty's virtue and character. If he is really a man who is not what he looks like, my elder sister will never tolerate him for so many years!"

Qin Song was taken aback by what he said.

But then, he laughed nonchalantly: "That's right, when the empress entered the palace, she didn't seem to have any reluctance..."

He pondered for a while, but his tone was not serious: "There may be another possibility, His Majesty the Emperor and the Empress, they are together..."

These words are equivalent to directly touching Gu Zhan's back scales.

Before Qin Song finished speaking, Gu Zhan punched him in the face!
　His Majesty the Emperor: Nani?So I'm the big villain?But I clearly only want to marry my daughter!
　　ps: It’s really too much effort to write about the male lead and the second male breaking their heads in front of each other. I still like to write about little girls or old ladies fighting each other. , It’s so uncomfortable to pinch, it’s killing me!
