In the early morning two days later, an army of 500 people appeared under the imperial capital.
"Open the city gate!"
Someone roared from the bottom of the city, and the city gate was immediately opened. The soldiers guarding the city saw the banner of the Gu family army, and they were almost moved to tears.
"Gu Hou Ye, you are finally back!"
"Yeah, Gu Hou is back, the imperial capital is finally safe!"
Outside the carriage were the joyful voices of the city guards. The houses near the city gate lit up candlelight, and they saw the faint banner of the Gu family army in the darkness, and they all rushed to the city gate.
"Master Hou is finally back. With Master Hou here, let's see if those bandits dare to do evil!"
Gu Huaijiang heard that something was wrong, the car curtain was lifted, "What's going on?"
The generals guarding the city immediately stepped forward and reported: "Your Majesty, let me tell you, since your majesty passed away, the courtiers have not yet established a new king, but the courtiers have divided into two factions and started arguing. One faction thinks that the country cannot be without a king for a day, and should be let go first." The eldest prince is in charge of affairs in the name of the new monarch, while the other faction insists on waiting for Lord Hou to return before discussing the matter of the new monarch. One faction of court ministers supports the cabinet to lead the ministers, and the other faction supports the prime minister to preside over the overall situation, making a mess."
"The imperial capital, which was originally very law and order, also had a lot of theft and disorder. The general and the people have been looking forward to the early return of Lord Hou, and finally it has come!"
"absurd!"
Gu Huaijiang, who has always been calm, scolded angrily: "No matter what kind of turmoil there is in the court, protecting the people is the top priority! What does it mean that a country cannot be without a king for a day? It is clear that a country cannot be without people for a day. The security of the imperial capital is determined by the government of Lin'an Prefecture and The Duhu Army is jointly responsible, where are the Futai and the Duhu General?"
The general guarding the city hesitated for a moment, and suddenly saw a woman in a beautiful dress walking out of the carriage of the princess guard of honor behind him.
Yu Fu stepped out of the carriage and walked to Gu Huaijiang's carriage. The people accompanying her were a little surprised to see her in a fine attire.
For the sake of convenience, she has been dressed very plainly in the border military camp and on the way, and she doesn't know when she changed into this fine attire.
The general guarding the city immediately knelt down to pay his respects, "The last general has seen Princess Zhenjiang."
The people on the sidelines were so frightened that they knelt down, Yu Fu gave him a look, and the soldiers of the Gu family army had already stepped forward to help them.
She looked at Gu Huaijiang in the carriage, frowned and winked, and the latter immediately understood why Yufu came here at this time.
Because he should not be the one who held Lin'an Mansion and General Protector accountable.
Yu Fu deeply understands the truth of seeking affairs in his position, "General, please rise up. This princess orders you as the royal family, immediately ask Lin'an Mansion Tai and General Protector to meet me at Guhou Mansion! If you can see me at dawn If they don't reach them, their officials will end."
The onlookers shouted and cheered, Yu Fu turned around and nodded to Gu Huaijiang, and returned to the carriage.
As the team marched towards Guhou's Mansion, along the way, people facing the street who heard the noise lit up the lights in their homes and leaned over to the doors and windows to look out.
"Look, Master Gu is back! Master Gu is finally back!"
Inside the carriage, Kun Yuyang asked Yu Fu puzzledly, "Just now, the Marquis wanted to question the Lin'an Mansion and the General Protector, why did you stop at the front and invite them in your own name?"
Kun Yuyang is also the princess of Xikun, but she seldom participates in government affairs in Xikun. The people she can guess are at most in the harem.
Yu Fu sighed, "As a military general, he is a full-time military officer. He should not be in charge of courtiers who are lazy and fail to perform their duties. Otherwise, some people in the court will definitely talk about him arbitrarily taking power. In the past, the general was always careful not to make mistakes. This kind of mistake, but it is the common people who are suffering today, this is the bottom line that he cannot touch."
Kun Yuyang was thoughtful, "No wonder, I was very annoyed by Master Hou's tone just now."
Yu Fu said: "The common people don't understand this, they only know that he is highly respected and turn to him for help. The general defending the city is a fourth-rank military general. He understands this truth, so he hesitates to open his mouth. I am the only one in Guhou's mansion who can speak for the general. This point, no matter how the situation between North Korea and China develops, stabilizing people's hearts is the top priority now."
Kun Yuyang stood in awe, "Master Gu is a loyal minister who wholeheartedly serves the people, the country, and the king. You can understand his intentions to take this matter down, so why not be loyal?"
Yu Fu forced a smile, "I'm not from Dongling just like you. You married Uncle Ning Tang, and I was adopted by the General. Since then, I have been in a bond with Dongling. If it's loyalty, it's better to say it's for We work hard for the people we care about, don’t you think so?”
Kun Yuyang stopped talking, until she heard the sound of the carriage stop, she said: "Yufu, I want to..."
"Don't even think about it."
Yu Fu knew what she was going to say, Yao Lan got out of the car and stretched out her hand to help her, she handed her hand to Yao Lan and said to Kun Yu: "The Guhou Mansion is the safest place now, I know you miss Uncle Ningtang , I will send someone to send a message to him. If you want to go back to the house now, you will harm him, understand?"
Kun Yuyang was taken aback, and had to admit that Yufu was younger than her, but thoughtful than her, so she had to obediently follow Yufu and get out of the car.
In front of the gate of Guhou's mansion, Gu Wenqing brought Gu Xiang and Gu Yi to greet him outside the gate. The father and son brothers met again, as if the sea had changed.
"Father, Your Majesty, he..."
Gu Wenqing's eyes were red, Gu Huaijiang patted him on the shoulder, "We already know, let's go in and talk about it."
He followed Gu Huaijiang, and Yu Fu had never seen Fourth Brother look so aggrieved, "If only I had followed during the autumn hunting, His Majesty might not have been assassinated. However, I was caught up in the affairs of the mansion, not only myself If you don’t go, even the fifth and sixth brothers are stopped by the boy.”
Gu Huaijiang sighed silently, "You did the right thing. There are no adults at home, so it's not safe for you to go out with your car. You can protect your fifth and sixth younger brothers. I'm very relieved as a father."
Gu Wenqing looked at Yufu, he had protected Gu Xiang and Gu Yi, but failed to protect Yufu.
Yu Fu walked up to him pretending to be relaxed, and said with a smile, "Thank you fourth brother for letting me go at that time, do you know? If I hadn't arrived at the border in time, at least tens of thousands of people would have died in the army. You indirectly rescued me." I have killed tens of thousands of Gu family soldiers, and don't you think I am doing well?"
Exhausted from the long journey, Gu Huaijiang ordered everyone to go back to rest and wait for the palace city to open before entering the palace to discuss.
However, some people can't wait for dawn.
"So fast? Gu Hou has already entered the city?"
The Xiangfu soon received the news that Yin Shuo's eyeliner had been lying in ambush near the city gate, and when he saw the banner of the Gu family army, he hurried back to report.
Yin Shuo sat behind the desk, thinking about something, "What kind of demeanor do you see in the Gu family army? Did you see Kun Yuyang in the team? Is there anything unusual?"
The subordinate wondered: "Gu's army has a cold military face, neither happy nor unhappy, and the subordinates really can't see anything unusual. I didn't find Princess Xikun in it, by the way, it was Zhenjiang The princess has summoned the Lin'an Mansion and the General Protector!"
"Why?"
"Just after Gu's army entered the city, people who heard the movement rushed out. Gu Hou was furious when he knew that theft and thieves were rampant in the city. In the end, it was Princess Zhenjiang who stood up and asked the two adults in charge of the security of the imperial capital to meet her."
Yin Shuo nodded, "She is very smart, she knew that it was not appropriate for Gu Huaijiang to take care of this matter, so she took it upon herself. It's a pity that Gu Huaijiang doesn't seem to know what is suitable for him to take care of and what is not suitable for him to take care of."
After he finished speaking, he smiled contemptuously, "This time he is lucky, if he dares to meddle in things that he shouldn't meddle in, Yufu saved him once, and he won't be so lucky next time..."
Ji Daogong's messenger who followed Gu's army back to the imperial capital also returned to the mansion, and Ji Daogong immediately got up and changed his clothes, and went to Guhou's mansion to discuss countermeasures with Gu Huaijiang.
At the same time, Lin'an Mansion Taiwan and General Protector also arrived.
Qi An personally led Ji Daogong to Gu Huaijiang's upper room for a detailed talk, Qi Zhou led the remaining two adults to the front hall, and Yu Fuzheng was sitting at the head holding tea.
She held the tea but didn't drink it, she just raised and lowered the tea lid again and again, and the tea lid and the cup made a crisp sound of collision.
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a man in a blue official uniform and a man in a brown general's robe come in, Qi Zhou bowed and retreated, Yu Fu never looked down.
The two people looked at each other, then hurriedly knelt down and said: "My minister, the west gate and window of Lin'an Mansion, my minister's guardian, General Mo Huangsha, see Princess Zhenjiang!"
Yufu had some impressions of the Lin'an Mansion, and he helped save the two of them. According to Luxiu and the others, he was a good adult, and he was willing to open the court even knowing that they were prostitutes. Just beat them out.
Yu Fu continued to knock on the tea lid, I don't know how she knocked, sometimes fast and sometimes slowly, the two people underneath were flustered.
Immediately afterwards, she quickly threw the teacup in front of the two of them, and the steaming hot tea splashed all over them, "Will you be convicted?!"
