The decree only mentioned the soldier talisman, but did not say whether it was Xikun's soldier talisman or all the soldier talismans.
And Sun Shilang holds the Shangfang sword, his interpretation is the holy will, and Gu Shubai has no way to resist.
Not handing over the military talisman is a decree of resistance. Once the military talisman is handed over, he will lose control of the 250,000 army, unable to control any possible changes...
To pay, or not to pay, the countless situations that may arise from this are intertwined in Gu Shubai's mind, and he is weighing quickly.
Only then did Sun Shilang take a look at Yan Zheng, "General Yan, I know that the people in the army are rude, but what you are seeing in front of you is an imperial decree, how can you be disrespectful? If you speak rudely again, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
"How do you want to stay?"
Gu Shubai glanced at him and said with a sneer: "This general won't hand over the military talisman today, what are you going to do? Kill me?"
"you… "
Sun Shilang looked at him in horror, he didn't expect him to dare to disrespect the order, "General Gu, you have thought clearly! Even though you are a royal husband, you can't afford to be accused of disrespecting the order! The Shangfang sword in the upper part of the sword will kill the faint king and the lower part of the courtiers, can't you be punished?"
"Sun Shilang said that the general can't bear it, so I will take it for you to see."
Gu Shubai smiled, stepped forward and walked beside him, Sun Shilang's feet trembled, and he exerted all his strength to restrain himself so as not to retreat.
The young general was a man of the day who was killed by the war chief. He usually looked gentle and bright, but few people could bear the real aura of a general.
Gu Shubai tilted his head slightly, and leaned into his ear, "Not only will this general not hand over the soldier talisman to you, but he will not leave for Beijing within three days. The situation in Xikun seems to be stable, but in fact, the tide is raging. Once I leave Must change."
"You really want to resist the order?!"
Sun Shilang drew his sword angrily, but Gu Shubai easily pushed the sword back before it was unsheathed, "Anyway, they are all against the decree, is there any difference between one or two? It has to be like this. If His Majesty wants to kill me, I will take the blame."
After finishing speaking, he turned his head and looked at Yan Zheng, "Come here, escort Master Sun away!"
Yan Zheng breathed a sigh of relief, and stepped forward to push the servant Sun, "Let's go, Master Sun, do you still need the general to send you off in person?"
Soldiers outside the tent came in and pulled the group of people out. Sun Shilang struggled desperately and shouted loudly, "Presumptuous! Presumptuous! I am His Majesty's envoy holding Shangfang's sword, how dare you wait?!"
Yan Zheng waved his hand, "Don't pay attention to him, throw him out of the barracks, I'll get angry when I see him!"
Hearing this, the soldiers who were still apprehensive became more unscrupulous and took Sun Shilang and his party out of the barracks.
Sun Shilang wanted to rush in to speak, but was hugged desperately by the envoy behind him, "My lord, what else can I say? He disobeyed the order and disrespected him. It would be good if he didn't kill us envoys to sacrifice the flag. You still have to do it yourself." Looking for a dead end? Hurry back to Beijing and report to the Taifu for the current plan!"
Sun Shilang's face turned purple with anger, he realized this after hearing this, and hurriedly said: "There is no need to delay, return to Beijing immediately!"
…
Yan Zheng sent Sun Shilang and his party away, but he never dared to go back to the big tent to see Gu Shubai.
It happened that I met Kun Yuyang not far from outside the tent. She came back specially after hearing the news that the imperial envoy was sent by Beijing, and when she saw Yan Zheng, she hurriedly asked him about the imperial envoy.
"Why don't you go in? Are the general and the imperial envoy discussing something important?"
Kun Yuyang couldn't help being surprised, Yan Zheng is Gu Shubai's confidant, what would he want to hide from him
Yan Zheng said with a bitter face: "Hey, what kind of envoy, I have already thrown it out. You don't know, something big happened!"
He told Kun Yuyang exactly what had happened in the big tent just now, and Kun Yuyang was dumbfounded, never expecting that such a great contribution to pacifying Xikun would end up like this.
She almost suspected that she had heard it wrong, "Is that servant Sun reliable? How could Yu Fu make such a decree? Could it be someone with ulterior motives pretending to be an imperial envoy?"
"impossible."
Yan Zheng sighed, "Then Minister Sun is the Minister of the Ministry of War. We have never seen it before in the court. Besides, the imperial decree and the monk Fang's sword in his hand cannot be faked, alas."
Kun Yuyang still didn't believe it, "Impossible! Yufu wouldn't treat the general like this, I'll go and see!"
"Hey, wait for me!"
Yan Zheng hurriedly followed her in, and saw that Gu Shubai was writing a letter in the tent, presumably it was written to Yufu, and a lot of content had been written profusely on the letter paper.
His hand froze suddenly, and then he crumpled the half-written letter into a ball of paper and threw it out. The movement of putting down the pen was extremely weak.
The ball of paper was thrown under Yan Zheng's feet, and he picked it up carefully, "General..."
The most important thing is to write a letter for the current plan and explain to Yufu that he has no rebellious intentions. Why did he write most of it and then throw it out
Kun Yuyang remained silent, seeming to understand Gu Shubai's helplessness.
If Yu Fu really believed in him, naturally he would not be suspicious.
If Yu Fu doesn't believe him, no matter how he explains it, he won't be able to cover up the crime of disobedience and disrespect, the evidence is as solid as a mountain!
When Yan Zheng wanted to persuade him to say something, Kun Yuyang pulled him out of the tent, "Let's not bother him at this time, let him think about it calmly."
"Is there anything else to think about?"
Yan Zheng was extremely anxious, "In case the general hasn't figured out a countermeasure, Beijing has already sent a large army to arrest the general and bring him back to punish him, then there is no way to recover!"
"No, no."
Kun Yuyang said, not knowing whether he was comforting Yan Zheng or herself, "They have come through all the ups and downs, and now all the obstacles have been resolved, and they have successfully married, how could they be separated because of unwarranted suspicions? What? No, definitely not."
Yan Zheng was even more desperate when he heard her comfort.
"If you really think you can't, you won't keep repeating these three words, won't you?"
Kun Yuyang was stunned for a moment, without even noticing it, "Do I have it?"
Yan Zheng looked at her with great certainty, and said word by word: "You have."
Kun Yuyang sighed, "Since ancient times, the Tian family has been ruthless. Just look at our Xikun royal family and you will know it. If it was Yufu from the past, I dare to pat my chest to guarantee that she would not. But now... she is Beili girl after all. Jun, is the unattainable and unreachable His Majesty on the Golden Dragon Throne."
The letter paper was scrapped one after another, and the crisp sound of paper pages being crumpled into balls in the tent made the soldiers outside the tent hold their breath and dare not disturb them.
Gu Shubai had never been so irritable at this moment, thinking of Sun Shilang's imperial decree to use jade to help him, he felt breathless in his heart.
All the explanations are ridiculous when the pen is written, and the handwriting is like a demon with teeth and claws, showing off its might to him.
After looking at it for a long time, he realized that it was his own demon.
He couldn't imagine what Yufu would think if she received the news of the resistance order, would she really think that she was a soldier and wanted to rebel
Even, will she deal with his crime of disrespect
He breathed a sigh of relief.
At present, there is another way besides writing letters, which is to leave Yan Zheng and Kun Yuyang in Xikun to stabilize the situation, while he immediately leaves to rush back to the capital.
But then what
He couldn't help laughing, closed his eyes, Yufu's every frown and smile was in front of his eyes.
The first time she saw him, he was taking a bath at that time, someone accidentally broke into the inner room and hit him with the water from the tub. When he put on his clothes and went out to take a look, a little girl carved in pink and jade stared at him blankly, with a silly and innocent appearance, and there were still drops of water on her face.
She followed Gu Jiuge in the twelfth lunar month of winter, and braved the blade-like wind and snow to rush to Changzhou to save him and Gu Yi. At that time, he had exhausted all means to deal with the assassin, and when he was at the end of the road, he saw her small figure appearing in the cave. When she saw him, her eyes were filled with ecstasy, and the clouds cleared away.
Countless images emerged in my mind, the girl's innocent and smiling face gradually became mature and stern, whether she is Beili's prince or female monarch, she must be dignified, steady and calm in front of others.
Her innocent smile gradually became restrained, her delicate and lovely attire gradually became gorgeous, and her immature face was like a newly blooming hibiscus, becoming more and more glamorous—
But it lacks the youthful freshness of the past.
She has changed after all.
It was getting late and night fell.
The soldier outside the tent held the dinner in his hand, hesitating whether to go in, and finally had to gently put the food box outside the tent door, so that he could see it quickly when he was hungry.
In the tent, Gu Shubai was sitting on the floor in a corner. On the wall behind him was a topographic map of Xikun, with densely packed marks on it. On the desk not far from him were stacks of documents, each of which meant that the process of pacifying Xikun had advanced a step further.
He should stand in front of the map and point out the country, or sit behind the desk and review the documents, but he should not sit in the corner, like an abandoned child who no one cares about, cherishing himself with his broom.
He opened his mouth, and suddenly wanted a jug of wine very much. Thinking of the military discipline that was so hard to clean up in the army, as the chief general, he naturally couldn't violate it.
With a helpless smile lingering on the corner of his lips, he finally got up slowly and walked towards the bed in the inner room.
The soldiers guarding outside the tent didn't see any movement inside for a long time. Fearing that something happened to him, they opened the tent door and looked inside, and heard his faint breathing.
"Asleep, let's all go out."
The soldier raised his finger and hissed before his lips, put the food box gently on the table, and then waved for everyone to leave, "The general is really tired, let him have a good sleep."
…
Sun Shilang and his party hurried back to the capital, and the news of Gu Shubai's disrespect for resisting the edict spread immediately.
Yu Fu once ordered that the report about Gu Shubai's army be delivered to Gu's residence immediately, and since Gu Hanmo was the commander of the Yulin Army, they got the news immediately.
Subconsciously, Gu Shubai wanted to go to Yufu, but after thinking about it, he was clumsy and unable to explain. This matter is so important that he should discuss it with Gu Huaijiang.
"Liming, watch here, I'm going out of the palace!"
"Hey, where are you going? How can you just run out when you are on duty today?"
Li Ming yelled behind him, but Gu Hanmo had long since disappeared. Turning his head, the soldier looked behind him curiously, "Vice Commander, where did the Commander go?"
"You want to talk too much?"
Li Ming suddenly turned from dissatisfied to serious, "The commander-in-chief naturally ran out when he had something urgent to do. If I hear anyone talking about his leaving his post without authorization, I will be the first to call you!"
As he spoke, he shook his fist at him, and the soldier quickly retracted his neck and stood on the spot, motionless like a wooden man.
It is no secret in the palace that Deputy Commander Li is extremely protective of his future brother-in-law.
Gu Hanmo hurried to Huihui's mansion, seeing Gu Huaijiang and Gu Jiuge discussing something, they all looked at him when he came back.
"Father, second brother, have you heard the news? It is said that the eldest brother resists the order and disrespects and intends to support himself!"
"Has the news reached the palace?"
Gu Jiuge frowned, "Earlier, because of elder brother's matter, Yu Fu even offended his grand master, and he was not allowed to go to court in the name of recuperating in the government. At that time, my father only said that Yu Fu and elder brother would never have any grievances against us. Don't pay attention to this matter, but how could things have deteriorated to this point?"
Gu Hanmo sighed, "No matter what, elder brother can't resist the order. What can't you come back and make it clear to the husband and wife in person? In this way, relying on others to pass on the word, I'm afraid something will happen even if nothing happened! "
Gu Huaijiang got up and said: "Your eldest brother is not such a careless child, there must be a misunderstanding. The most urgent thing right now is to enter the palace to dissuade Yufu, and the crime of disrespecting the order must not be proved, otherwise..."
Resisting the decree and disrespecting it is a serious crime, ranging from beheading to show the public, to copying and beheading the whole family, and even killing the nine clans.
Gu Jiuge hurriedly supported him, "Father, I'll accompany you!"
Gu Huaijiang shook his head, "Ji Yan doesn't know what to worry about when such a big incident happened. She is pregnant and can't be frightened. You can comfort her at home and restrain your younger brothers. Don't let them do something stupid on the spur of the moment."
He said and looked at Gu Hanmo, "You enter the palace with your father."
"yes."
Gu Jiuge had no choice but to stay in the mansion. Looking at the backs of Gu Huaijiang and Gu Hanmo leaving, he suddenly thought of that year for some reason—
That year, Ning Chengzhi sent people to the mansion to arrest Gu Huaijiang for interrogation on the charge of colluding with Xikun and colluding with the enemy.
If he hadn't stopped him that year, wouldn't the scene he saw be the same as it is now
Watching Gu Hanmo leave with Gu Huaijiang's arm, watching their backs who may never come back...
He suddenly realized how terrible his thoughts were, and quickly shook his head, "No, Yufu is not Ning Chengzhi, and the suffering of that year will never happen again!"
"Husband, what are you talking about?"
Yin Jixie supported her waist with one hand, put the other on her raised belly in front of her body, and looked at him worriedly, "Husband, is elder brother really defiant and disrespectful?"
Her delicate brows were slightly frowned, and Gu Jiuge's heart became more bitter, and he forced a smile on his face, "I don't know what happened now, but you don't have to worry, my father has entered the palace with my third brother. Your Majesty... Yu Help her, after all, she is from our family."
Yin Jixi pursed her lips, thinking of Dong Ling back then.
The old Emperor Ning and Gu Huaijiang were still called brothers, Ning Chengzhi and Princess Danyang wanted to call Gu Huaijiang Uncle Gu, but how lenient were they when they actually attacked
The heart of an emperor is unfathomable, can Yufu be an exception
At this moment, Yin Jixiu was not sure about Yufu for the first time, and she didn't know what would happen in the future...
"Your Majesty, Minister Sun of the Ministry of War has something to see!"
"Your Majesty, Marquis Gu and Commander Gu please see me!"
"Your Majesty, Taishi Tian, Taifu Bao and a group of courtiers are begging to see you!"
The news came in one after another, and Yu Fu walked up and down in the Hall of Eternal Life, the more he listened, the more impatient he became.
"Who else wants to see? Simply tell me everything!"
The palace man bowed and cupped his hands in fear, lowering his head and not daring to lift it up in response to her fury, "Return to Your Majesty, there is no more for now."
temporary
Yu Fu was almost angry, even a young eunuch in her palace could tell that there would be an endless stream of people begging to see her today, and there would be an endless stream of confusion.
She sat down on the couch, picked up the tea cup and took a sip angrily.
The palace man cast a look of help to Yao Lan, Yao Lan thought for a moment, then said to Yu Fu, "Your Majesty, although His Majesty is worried, if you see it or you don't see it, you have to tell me, so that you don't have to wait outside for a long time."
After finishing speaking, looking at Yu Fu's face, he tentatively said: "Should I invite Marquis Gu in first? Marquis Gu rarely enters the palace, so he must have something important to report to His Majesty when he came here in a hurry today."
Yu Fu glanced at her, and naturally knew what she meant.
At this moment, everyone is asking to see each other, representing different camps and different opinions. She has to think about who she will see first and who she will see later, and the order must not be messed up at all.
Once it is messed up, many things will also be messed up.
Yao Lan suggested that she should meet Gu Huaijiang and the two first, making it clear that she was on Gu Shubai's side.
In other words, she thinks that Yufu is on Gu Shubai's side, so thinking about Yufu's thoughts, she proposes to meet Gu Huaijiang first.
After thinking for a while, Yu Fu finally opened his mouth, but what he said surprised Yao Lan, "No, I will see Sun Mou, the servant of the Ministry of War."
-----Off Topic-----
