Gu Ruoxi slapped her forehead and suddenly said: "Since you agreed to break up the engagement, you can't go back on your regrets." Zhang Xiaowu nodded and said: "I am also an order of the central government, so why can I talk casually? Can you tell me the reason?
?" Gu Ruoxi said: "It doesn't matter if I tell you. My sister already has someone she likes. If the emperor hadn't given her the marriage, he would have married her long ago."
Gu Qingxi's face turned red. She didn't know whether it was because of the fire, or because she was embarrassed because her sister had told her what was on her mind.
Zhang Xiaowu's heart arose with gossip, and he quickly asked: "Who is that person?"
Gu Ruoxi said proudly: "The one everyone calls the number one wild student in the city is Zhu Zihan."
Zhang Xiaowu recalled it carefully, and said with a slight smile: "This man is very arrogant and quite crazy." In the past in Yumozhai, Zhu Zihan's song "I've been a kid since I was young" shocked everyone with his real skills, but Wan
I didn't expect that this person would take advantage of me. But think about it, although the emperor granted me a marriage, I didn't have any feelings for Miss Gu. Today was even the first time I saw her, let alone betrayal or not.
. He suddenly thought that since Gu Yong returned to Longdu, there should be countless people proposing marriage to the two women. Why did the emperor still send them here?
"His Majesty sent you here?"
"Of course yes, otherwise who would send us to such a cold place."
"Do you have anything to say before Your Majesty leaves?"
"Your Majesty didn't say anything."
Zhang Xiaowu smiled bitterly and sighed. Emperor Dade didn't say anything, but he said a lot when he sent them here. He seemed to be telling himself that his promises in the past were true and he had to keep his promises. He wanted to keep the Xuanyuan family back then.
Naturally, he wanted to keep his empire now, but the emperor changed his temper. I don't know whether it was because of his age or his rich experience.
Gu Qingxi suddenly said: "Master Zhang, I would like to thank you."
Zhang Xiaowu waved his hand and said: "You're welcome, you are not a toy object that can be sent here and there. Are you a person? A free and thoughtful person. But this is a marriage granted by the emperor? It's wrong for me to ruin the marriage rashly. It's wrong for the emperor.
To save face, we need to take a long-term approach? Don’t propose it rashly. Otherwise, it won’t be able to explain to me? To the Gu family, to His Majesty the Emperor? To the court, or to the people.”
The two women nodded? The emperor granted the marriage but ruined the relationship? If it were not for a legitimate reason, it would really cause chaos and unnecessary arguments.
"Master Gu has no objection?" Zhang Xiaowu asked again.
Gu Ruoxi said: "My father has no objection. He just told us that it's cold in the north? You said that your marriage cannot be changed? But let me and you have a word of advice."
"What words?"
"Everyone in the world knows the Xuanyuan family."
Zhang Xiaowu frowned, then nodded and smiled, saying goodbye and leaving.
Military Master Gu saw clearly that although the Xuanyuan family was not very good, the people of the world still cared about the Xuanyuan family? He felt that this country should belong to the Xuanyuan family. Although the emperors of the Xuanyuan family often made wrong choices, each generation was an elite.
The elite among the people? There are also very few emperors who do not do their job properly like the Ming Dynasty. But because the emperors of the Xuanyuan family were so dedicated, every emperor wanted to become a great emperor? This led to the country's increasing deficit, and the financial power of the gentry gradually surpassed that of the government.
On top of power. In the past one hundred years, land annexation has become increasingly serious. And whenever the emperor wanted to curb the gentry, he always failed for various reasons.
In addition to the influence of the gentry on the country, the irregularity of the bureaucratic system also led to the hardship of the people's lives. Although the officialdom of the Holy Han Dynasty had imperial examinations, privately it still relied on the recommendation system, that is, the direct line appointed close friends, and higher levels were not allowed to interfere with the personnel appointments of their subordinates. This is
This situation is more common in the army. All military commanders are confidants of generals, all lieutenants are confidants of military commanders, and all captains are confidants of colonels. As a result, various forces are intertwined, and partisan fights continue to occur.
Serious internal strife.
If the dog barbarians had not conquered Lianglang Pass this time, there would have been internal fighting in various places, even Zhang Xiaowu and Du Shanbo.
"well……"
Zhang Xiaowu only felt very tired. He was a mortal, and he was not willing to participate in party battles or court battles. But he really complied with what he said, and he could not help himself in the world. Emperor Dade sent the two sisters of the Gu family to
On the Daizhou front line, Gu Yong's acquiescence may mean that he
They asked themselves to just be a general who serves the country wholeheartedly, just like Du Shanbo. But he knew in his heart that he needed to secretly beware of Emperor De's betrayal and ruthlessness, so Wu Song's plan still needed to be implemented to kill him.
The forces are secretly distributed throughout the north.
Subsequently, Zhang Xiaowu continued to reorganize the army, including generals and troops, and promoted officers from the Ghost Guard. However, he also paid attention to absorbing outstanding generals from other places. For example, Hu Li discovered several outstanding generals from Yizhou in the Snow Guard.
Captain, and these people were all civilians without exception. Zhang Xiao
Wu also realized that the officers and assistants who came from common people were more inclined to be loyal to him. They were of low origin and could fight for a future without any scruples. The officers and assistants who came from noble families were undecided. Perhaps due to family reasons, they could not
Dare to make decisions easily, let alone go all the way.
In the evening, Gu Ruoxi came to see him again. Zhang Xiaowu smiled and asked if it was not as comfortable as Longdu. Gu Ruoxi shook his head and said that Zhu Zihan was here.
Zhang Xiaowu was quite interested in the arrival of the "love rival", but he was busy with military affairs and had no time to see the mad man, let alone the man who kidnapped his fiancée. Gu Ruoxi curiously asked why he didn't care so much, and Zhang Xiaowu smiled bitterly and said: "
I am not a young man who hangs around women all day long. In your heart, your sister is more important than anything else, but in my heart, killing the dog barbarians and restoring the Central Plains is the first priority."
Gu Ruoxi showed admiration in her eyes, then asked with a blushing face: "Then after you drive away Quan Yi... when will you marry me?"
Zhang Xiaowu saw Gu Ruoxi's shy and expectant look like a little daughter, and couldn't help but scratch her nose and said with a smile: "The day when the dog barbarians are driven away will be the time to get married."
Gu Ruoxi asked again: "Then how do you treat your sister?"
Zhang Xiaowu thought for a while and said: "I have this idea. No matter what, destroying the relationship will hurt others and yourself. It is better to let the eldest lady fake her death. I will leave the eldest lady in private. I call the eldest lady to the public because I am not used to the northern climate.
Occasionally he got typhoid and died suddenly.
In this way, I have an explanation for the Gu family, I have an explanation for Your Majesty, and I have an explanation for my face. But from now on, she is no longer the eldest daughter of the Gu family. Maybe she will be called Ahua, maybe she will be called Ahu, maybe she will be called Ahu.
Heizi..."
Gu Ruoxi was so angry that she punched him: "Ahua, Ahu, and Heizi are the names of dogs. Sister, I won't call him that name." He held his chin and thought for a while. This was the only way to explain to everyone.
I just don't know if Sister A and Mr. Zhu will accept it. Thinking of this, Gu Ruoxi punched Zhang Xiaowu again and said, "You are still cunning."
Zhang Xiaowu: "Old and cunning... I'm only twenty-three..."
