Tyrant's First Favorite Concubine

Chapter 146 His Royal Highness

When Gu Cenya returned to Geye City, just as he got off his horse, Xinghun hurried over and whispered in his ear: "Dongfang Shangyu is here."

Gu Cenya was stunned, and asked, "Who?"

Xinghun looked around and said, "His Royal Highness."

"Oh, it's him?" Gu Cenya showed a smile, then turned cold, and said to the guard beside him: "You are so brave, since the crown prince has come down, why did you come to report now? You have neglected the crown prince , can you bear it?"

"General, forgive me..." Immediately, voices begged for mercy one after another.

Gu Cen Ya left in a huff, and together with Xing Hun, hurried into Leng Xiang Hall.

In the Lengxiang Hall, it was eerily quiet, but the Eastern Shangyu that Xinghun mentioned was not seen.Gu Cenya frowned, and looked at Xinghun suspiciously.

Xing Hun was about to speak, but a clean voice came from outside the hall: "The garden of the General is unadorned and natural, I like it very much."

Gu Cenya turned around, but saw a man in plain clothes, holding a bright yellow winter jasmine, standing there thinly, with his back to the wind, his coat fluttering.

"My humble minister, see Your Highness the Crown Prince!" Gu Cen Ya knelt down and saluted calmly.

Dongfang Shangyu glanced at Gu Cen Ya and Xing Hun indifferently, then walked into the room, and gracefully put the winter jasmine ### into the porcelain vase on the low table.

At this time, he smiled.

Then he took out a pair of scrolls that were also bright yellow, and said in a gentle tone, "General Gu Cenya of Zhengxi accepts the order."

Gu Cenya still knelt down, but turned around, facing Dongfang Shangyu again.

Xinghun also knelt beside Gu Cenya, but he was full of anger in his heart.Unexpectedly, after so many years, Dongfang Shangyu still has such a disposition. It seems that everything has nothing to do with him, but often ends up being manipulated by him.

Dongfang Shangyu opened the scroll and read: "General Zhengxi Gu Cenya has made great contributions to conquering the Xirong Kingdom. Recently, he has won two important cities, Geye City and Qinglan City, which won my heart. Special reward to General Zhengxi Imperial Capital A mansion, a reward of 1000 taels, and a hundred servants. Zhengxi Daying is above the captain, and the officer is promoted to a level, and the reward is 500 taels of silver. In addition, the whole camp soldiers are rewarded with 100 taels of silver per person, and 150 taels for meritorious service. After ten days, the general, the whole army will pull out the camp, and the squadron will return to the court, there must be no mistakes!"

"Thank you Majesty Long En!" Gu Cen Ya and Xing Hun said in unison.

Only then did Dongfang Shangyu help Gu Cenya up, handed the imperial decree to him, and said slowly: "Five days ago, the Xirong Kingdom sent envoys to the imperial capital to sign an agreement. I will offer some silver grain and cloth to the imperial court, stop the war and end the war, and make friends from generation to generation."

Gu Cen Ya mused: "It's good to be like this, but Qinglan City..."

Dongfang Shangyu glanced at Gu Cen Ya, and said with a smile: "The Qinglan City was captured by the General with all his strength. The battle of Chila River caused a sensation in the government and the public. Everyone said that the General is the God of War alive. However, if you give up Qinglan City, It should have been expected by the general, right?"

After Dongfang Shangyu finished speaking, he walked to the main seat and sat down firmly.

Hearing Dongfang Shangyu's words, Xinghun's face changed slightly. If Dongfang Shangyu found out that the memorial that was submitted to the court was false, what would he do?

However, Gu Cenya was calm and composed. He walked up to Dongfang Shangyu and said, "I don't know what His Royal Highness is referring to?"

Dongfang Shangyu picked up the teacup, took a sip, then looked at Gu Cenya, and said, "Just now I walked around the Zhengxi camp, but I saw that the soldiers in the Zhengxi camp were full of energy and there was no sign of the plague invading. Symptoms."

Gu Cenya laughed, and said: "What His Royal Highness said is very true. How could the Zhengxi Camp, which was carefully built by the Yutian Dynasty, be defeated by a small plague so easily?"

"So..." Dongfang Shangyu's expression remained flat, "The memorial you reported to the emperor was a forgery?"

Gu Cen Ya said sternly: "Although it is a falsification of facts, it is for the country of the Yutian Dynasty, and for the innocent people of the Yutian Dynasty! His Royal Highness should be more clear than the Weichen. The war has been chaotic for several years. Although the Yutian Dynasty has little success, But the soldiers also suffered countless casualties! In order to supply the front line, the people’s taxes are getting heavier every year. The entire Yutian Dynasty is already riddled with holes and the people are in dire straits. Now that we have captured Qinglan City, if we don’t take this opportunity How long will it take to force the Xirong Kingdom to seek peace?"

Xinghun at the side let out a sigh of relief. He should have thought that when Gu Cenya submitted the memorial to the imperial capital, he had already figured out a countermeasure.

Sure enough, Dongfang Shangyu stood up, walked to Gu Cenya, and said, "Don't be nervous, General. If I hadn't advocated a peace negotiation, how could I have volunteered to come here to announce the decree?"

Until this moment, Gu Cen Ya's hanging heart finally returned to its original place.

Dongfang Shangyu said again: "Father originally insisted on the two cities of Xirong Kingdom, but Xirong Kingdom did not back down. The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were arguing over this matter. Although I wanted to persuade Father to give up Qinglan City, my heart There is more than enough but not enough, just at this time, the father received the memorial reported by the Zhengxi camp, and I knew at that time that it was you who relieved this urgent need."

Gu Cenya nodded silently, as if thanking Dongfang Shangyu for his consideration and understanding.

Then, the two left the Lengxiang hall one after the other. In the flower hall on the east side of the mansion, a reception banquet has been carefully prepared.

************

From the second day onwards, the entire Zhengxi camp began to get busy, and the entire battalion, including Gu Cenya, were preparing for their return to the imperial court in ten days' time.

Among all people, only Dongfang Shangyu is particularly leisurely.

He passed through the empty training ground in Geye City, passed through the deserted courtyard of Nuanxiangyuan, and then, he took a group of fine horses and leaped neatly onto their backs.

Who knows, the reason he came to Geye City this time was not to find out the reality of Zhengxi Camp, but...

There was a clean smile on his pretty face, he urged the horse, and went straight to the long-awaited drunken inn.

Zuixin Inn was buzzing with people. When Dongfang Shangyu tied his horse and walked into Dongyuan, a look of astonishment flashed across his face. Could it be that the spotless Qingshiqin Xian was in such a bloody place?

At this time, the deserted upstairs was also looking at the Eastern Shangyu downstairs without moving.This person should be here for the first time, he is dressed in extraordinary clothes, he should be an upper class nobleman.

Long-term living habits have made Shahua analyze his identity and preferences at the first sight of a person.

Sha Hua turned to the little errand beside him and said, "Lead the guest officer downstairs to Xiyuan."

Seeing his disdain for fighting and killing, it shouldn't be for the purpose of coming to Dongyuan, right?Sha Hua smiled inwardly.

Under the leadership of the younger brother, Dongfang Shangyu passed through the winding corridors, bypassing mandala bushes one after another, and finally arrived at the relatively quiet Xiyuan.

In the Xinxin Pavilion in Xiyuan, a woman in blue is playing the guqin, but the sound is not as deep as the green qiqin.

Dongfang Shangyu pointed to the woman in blue, and asked the younger brother: "Is she the world-renowned Qin Xian that people in the Jianghu have rumored?"

The second brother smiled honestly, and said: "The guest officer is wrong, this girl is just a luthier in our drunken inn, and Qingshi Qinxian is talking about our Yuli girl."

"Yu Li?" Dongfang Shangyu lost his mind slightly, and then asked: "Can she come out to play today?"

The second elder brother shook his head and said: "It's not a coincidence that the guest officer came here. Didn't you see that there are few guests in Xiyuan today? That's because Miss Yuli is resting today. If Miss Yuli played Luqi today, there would have been no more standing here. There's nowhere to stand."

Did you take a break?Dongfang Shangyu felt a trace of disappointment in his heart.He came with what Qingshi Qinxian wanted. If he didn't hear her peerless piano music, how could he be willing to go back to the imperial capital?

Thinking of this, Dongfang Shangyu walked to the Xinxin Pavilion on his own. After the woman in blue finished playing a song, he smiled gracefully and sat in front of the piano.

He raised his slender hands and plucked the strings without warning.

Immediately, the entire Xiyuan exclaimed, why did the sound of the piano suddenly become so beautiful, as if the ice and snow on the high mountains melted in early spring, and the thumping snow water slowly flowed down the stream, the sound was clear and free of impurities.

Yu Li, who was serving the mandala with Guan Yunji in the greenhouse, suddenly trembled, the sound of the piano was so beautiful, and she had never heard this song before.

"Aren't you going to take a look?" Guan Yunji asked.

Yu Li nodded and said: "If I guessed correctly, this piano piece should be "Sunshine Snow"!"

As Yu Li walked out, she said: "Guan Yunji, watch your Luqi carefully, starting tomorrow, it will not be yours..."

The words could not be heard clearly, but the happy laughter could be faintly heard.
