On the day the empress ascended the throne, my body was hung at the city gate

Chapter 20: People who are promoted openly and demoted secretly, and those who look down upon others

Battle of the frontier.

Gu Changsheng led Zhou Dynasty to make a comeback from adversity. It took a month to successfully defeat the Jin army and win a complete victory.

That night, a feast was held in the capital.

There is plenty of wine and meat, and there is peace and prosperity through singing and dancing.

All civil and military officials gathered to celebrate the triumphant return of the youngest, most decorated and most distinguished General Bian Chui in the history of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Naturally, Wu Mingyue was among them and witnessed this scene with her own eyes.

"My dear friends, if it hadn't been for General Gu this time, we, the Great Zhou Dynasty, would have been in danger of being destroyed. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to General Gu."

"Your Majesty, this is serious. This is what the general should do."

At the banquet, Gu Changsheng sat in a high position and received all the flattery from everyone.

"Gu Shuai is so humble."

"Yes, if it weren't for Gu Shuai this time, there would be no chance for us to win."

"Gu Shuai is a man of quick wit and astonishing literary, political and military tactics."

"Yes, Your Majesty, don't you think so?"

At the banquet, several ministers agreed one after another, with a look in their eyes as if they were watching a show.

Everyone could tell that Emperor Wu's words were sharp and revealed murderous intentions overtly and covertly.

Thinking of Wang Feihu's fate, everyone tacitly understood it.

Something bad happened.

Feel the extraordinary atmosphere of the banquet.

Gu Changsheng's heart suddenly felt ominous.

to kill.

This is naked flattery.

The current fatuousness of Emperor Wu is known to everyone in the world.

The former Wang Feihu was secretly sentenced to death by the other party on the grounds that he was too incompetent to overshadow his master.

Companion is like a tiger.

This was not the first time for this king to kill a donkey.

"Your Majesty, General Changsheng has made such great contributions and should be granted the title of Marquis of Anle, a title that will last for three generations."

Suddenly, Qin Hui spoke loudly during the banquet.

"Well, what Qin Aiqing said is absolutely true. General Gu made a great contribution to this campaign and saved the lives of tens of millions of my people in the Great Zhou Dynasty! The position of Anlehou should be rewarded!"

Emperor Wu nodded in approval, but Gu Changsheng's face suddenly darkened, and a coldness emerged.

Anlehou, Anlehou.

As the name suggests, it allowed him to release his military power and spend his old age in peace.

Now that he is in his prime, let him live in ease and enjoyment.

It seems to be a reward, but in fact it is a hidden derogation.

On the first day after returning to court, the great eunuch came up and gave him a blow.

Gu Changsheng narrowed his eyes slightly.

The battle on the border also made him realize something. As long as Qin Hui did not die, countless troubles would follow.

"Your Majesty, although the war on the border is peaceful, there are still four countries looking southward. It is better to discuss the matter of becoming a marquis later!"

Taoist Qingyang is Gu Changsheng's only trump card in the court now.

The identity of the other party, Penglai Immortal, was perfectly disguised.

Nowadays, all the civil and military officials in the dynasty, even Qin Hui, have deep trust in him and dare not provoke him.

As the Imperial Master spoke, the old Emperor Wu really began to hesitate on his face.

Although he is fatuous, he is not completely helpless.

Indeed, these are troubled times. Apart from Gu Changsheng, how many of them in the Zhou Dynasty can lead troops to fight?
After all, he is the emperor.

When the troubled times are settled, you can just find any reason to kill him.

"Your Majesty, the slave family has a candidate who I would like to recommend!"

Seeing the old Emperor Wu's hesitation, Qin Hui suddenly spoke.

"This man's name is Sima Yi. He is not only good at planning, but also proficient in the art of military aircraft layout. If he can be promoted to the court to assist Your Majesty, it will be of great benefit to our court!" Qin Hui talked eloquently, speaking very fast, obviously he had been there for a long time Prepare.

"Okay, let him try it then!"

The old Emperor Wu nodded and agreed directly.

"Your Majesty is wise!"

Qin Hui smiled, then turned to look at the figure behind the palace: "Zhongda, I haven't paid homage to Your Majesty yet."

The figure immediately bowed forward and said: "Your Majesty, Sima Yi, long live my emperor!"

Sima Yi! ! !
In the center of the hall, Gu Changsheng felt like he was struck by lightning again.

He stared at the figure who claimed to be Sima Yi with wide eyes, and the palms under his court uniform could not help but tremble slightly.

The old Emperor Wu did not see Gu Changsheng's reaction. He stroked his beard and made a decision quickly: "Since Qin Aiqing has said so, I will make you the new general, take over Anlehou's former position, and guard the country for me in the future. , to ensure that our kingdom, country, and country are safe and sound."

"I obey the order, thank you Lord Long En."

Sima Yi knelt down and kowtowed.

The admiration in front of me is just like a few years ago.

Gu Changsheng came out of nowhere and replaced the original border guard Wang Feihu.

It's still the same way today.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Qin Hui's lips curved into a smile of success.

This was how he wanted to tell Gu Changsheng.

Without him, the other party would be nothing.

He can support an immortal general, and he can also support a second and third one.

A disobedient dog will be killed.

The General's Mansion, now the Prince's Mansion.

Gu Changsheng sat in the empty hall with deep eyes.

The current situation is extremely unfavorable for him.

With his military power stripped away, he could no longer fight on the battlefield and could only stay in the court like a mascot.

An Lehou.

What is the difference between this so-called title of king and lord and the monkey being watched by others?
"Longevity!"

A soft call sounded outside the door, and then a beautiful girl in black palace clothes stepped in.

The moment the girl saw Gu Changsheng, a happy and excited smile suddenly appeared on her face.

Seeing the arrival of this girl, the gloominess on Gu Changsheng's face suddenly eased.

Princess Wu Mingyue of the Great Zhou Dynasty, because of her mission, she had no choice but to win the first place in the son-in-law recruitment conference.

Because of this, he became attached to this princess of Zhou Dynasty.

After several years of getting along day and night, Gu Changsheng and her established a considerable relationship.

Regarding the relationship with Wu Mingyue.

Gu Changsheng is complicated.

On the one hand, he knew that his mission was important and he did not dare to get too close to Wu Mingyue.

on the other hand.

Being together for a long time really made him develop an unusual affection for the girl in front of him.

"Brother Changsheng, can you promise Mingyue not to go out on adventures again? I'll leave the matter of leading troops to fight to the soldiers below."

Wu Mingyue, who was still in a state of ignorance, came to Gu Changsheng's side, held his arm with both hands, and shook him coquettishly.

Ever since Gu Changsheng left the imperial city, she had nightmares almost every night.

Whenever she wakes up from the dream, she is afraid that she will never see him again.

"Okay, I promise you."

Gu Changsheng touched Wu Mingyue's hair comfortingly and said softly.

"Then it's done, let's pull the hook."

Wu Mingyue immediately smiled and narrowed her eyes, then stood up on tiptoes playfully, and touched Gu Changsheng's cheek like a dragonfly touching water.

Then, like a frightened deer, he turned around and ran out of the room with his face flushed: "Then I will go back to my father to discuss the marriage."
