After I was reborn, I became Mrs. Chief Assistant

Chapter 155 Teacher and Student Monarch and Subject

Qi Changfeng said: "The grass-roots people were fortunate enough to accompany the king, enjoy the flowers, deer and firewood, drink wine in Pingyang Lake, the emperor treats the grass-roots people with kindness, the grass-roots people can't bear to see the emperor suffer eternal infamy!"

After finishing speaking, he knelt down tremblingly again. The official robe was worn on his skinny body, which looked loose and empty. His hem was dragged on the ground for a long time. It is so sincere and true.

All this moved the emperor, he suddenly realized clearly that the person in front of him was once his closest mentor and most loyal subject, and he even regarded him as his best friend for a long time.They have also traveled side by side in this world, and they are the closest partners in the court.

But 20 years later, he was in the prime of life, but his good teacher and good friend had already become like this, with a haggard face and white hair that was full of lust, he felt a kind of hurt. kind of grief.

"Get up and talk." The emperor's face softened a little, and his tone became gentle again, but he still suspected that Qi Changfeng was also involved in the court's party struggle. , He has seen all living beings one by one, and there is really no way to have too high expectations for people's hearts.

The emperor and his ministers have known each other for decades, and Qi Changfeng also knows that the emperor's slowing down does not mean that he has dispelled his suspicion.

He answered yes tremblingly, stood up with the support of his servant, and said carefully, "Caomin retired from his old age and returned to his hometown 20 years ago. Although General Gu had joined the army at that time, his reputation was not obvious after all. I didn’t know such a person existed, and I never paid attention to this person.”

"But later when the grassroots returned to Lishui, where the news was relatively unknown, they could also hear the name of this man. Everyone said that this man was simply a natural talent. Otherwise, why would he be invincible and invincible as soon as he entered the battlefield? In a few years, he has grown from an unknown little soldier to a brave general, and his promotion speed is simply appalling."

When the emperor heard this, his face was slightly worried, but he knew that Qi Changfeng hadn't finished speaking, so he suppressed this worry. After all, he had heard it too much, and these words would not provoke him now. Out of anger, he patiently listened to Qi Changfeng continue to say:

"Therefore, some people said that this is actually due to the emperor's insight into heroes and eclecticism. Otherwise, if Gu Chengrui is the reincarnation of the god of war, he can only bury his talent and become a leader in the most senior military camp."

"But now, the neighboring countries are eyeing the border, but you want to call Gu Chengrui back to Beijing because of someone who wants to sow dissension. You even want to cut his soldiers and demote his officials! It doesn't matter if the border is safe, but if Gu Chengrui leaves Beijing During this period of time, when the neighboring country sent troops, or the general Zhenyuan you promoted later was not as brave as Gu Chengrui, when the two countries fought and retreated, everyone would remember that they once defended their homeland and fought on the battlefield. Gu Chengrui, who has never been defeated in the past, was transferred back to the capital by your order, which led to the fall of the border... Your Majesty, what people say is awesome!"

Qi Changfeng's words were clever, he first picked himself out, and he didn't involve party disputes at all, and said that although people praised Gu Chengrui, it was the emperor who won the hearts of the people, and every word and every word was considered for the emperor. It seems so selfless.

Although the emperor knew that the purpose of his actions and words was not pure, but it is undeniable that he was moved by his persuasion.

The king is a boat, the people are water, water can carry a boat, and it can also overturn it.This is what the first emperor taught him when he first became the crown prince.The first emperor didn't like him, so he taught him very little. Perhaps because of this, he always remembered the first emperor's words very firmly.

But he was only persuaded.Qi Changfeng's words could not completely make him let go of his guard, he was not afraid of Gu Chengrui because of his military power, military power would always be in the hands of the general.The reason he was afraid of Gu Chengrui was because he had already achieved great success, and this was what really made him unbearable.

I heard that people from neighboring countries went to the border to ask people about the direction of the capital, the current year name, and the emperor's name. People in the border didn't know anything about it, but when they asked about Gu Chengrui, they were able to tell them in detail.

The border gate is the border gate of Daye, and the people at the border are also the people of Daye, but now the people of Daye only know the general and not the emperor, how can he not be afraid of this!

He told Qi Changfeng his worries.

Qi Changfeng didn't show it on the surface, but he became serious in his heart: he was really hit by the little girl!

He had seen Mu Guiliu before, but she didn't seem like such a rich man; as for Xie Jie, he had never thought about it, the little girl looked very arrogant, she didn't seem like someone who would succumb to others, she dragged Xie Jie Coming out is just to find a backer for his inappropriate words and deeds.

It's not what kind of family it is that can raise such a transparent and intelligent girl!

He sighed in his heart, and at the same time, he said to the emperor according to what Yun Zhuo told him: "Your majesty, you have a lot of affairs and worry too much. Naturally, you don't have the time and energy to find out the details. The original cause and development of this incident It has already spread among the public, but it was a businessman from Chu State who saw a cute child at the border, so he teased him and asked him these questions."

"But that child is only two and a half years old, not even enlightened, and the border is poor. The parents of that child are busy working all day long, so they neglected to discipline him. They didn't teach him these things. As for Gu Chengrui, he protected him. Bianguan and even Daye were spared from the flames of war, and his story has been written into the playbook, so young children are naturally familiar with it.”

"I don't know why this matter has been rumored and spread like this." Qi Changfeng sighed, "If I hadn't heard about this matter, maybe I would have thought that Gu Chengrui was rebellious."

"But your majesty, you issued three edicts to call him back to Beijing, but he risked disobedience to the king's orders by staying at the border on the grounds of frequent changes in neighboring countries. People who are loyal to the country must also be loyal to the king. He will not rebel. .”

"As for the ones who really have different intentions, I'm afraid they are the ones who wholeheartedly expect you to demote Gu Chengrui from office and power."

"Whoever can benefit from it must be innocent." At the end, Qi Changfeng said.

"I know what the teacher means." The emperor sighed, as if he had returned to 20 years ago.

Twenty years ago, Qi Changfeng also taught him in this tone.

Qi Changfeng looked at the nostalgic look on his face, and his heart moved slightly: "The emperor has worked hard these years."
