Huangfuxian fell to the ground in a way that was so humiliating to him that when Xiao Qingkong slid down from the windowsill to help him, he was ruthlessly rejected.
He put his hands on the armrests and sat back in the wheelchair with difficulty.
Whether he was angry or ashamed, his cheeks were flushed.
He had a strange feeling in his heart, like the tide was surging, and he didn't know what was wrong with him.
Xiao Jingkong put his hands behind his back, and looked at him cutely with his head tilted: "Little brother, are you shy?"
"I didn't!" Huangfuxian said angrily with a blushing face.
Xiao Qingkong: "Oh."
Huangfuxian: What kind of disbelieving tone is this
Huangfuxian said coldly, "What are you doing here? Didn't I let you go?"
No, isn't the little guy already gone
He said such hurtful things, why did he come back
Xiao Jingkong said honestly, "I'm leaving, but I remembered something I forgot to tell you."
Xiao Jingkong is a very planned child, and he must do what he planned, otherwise when he was in the country, he would not be troubled every day because Gu Yan didn't follow the lunch plan he made.
"What's the matter?" Huangfuxian said coldly.
"Your leg." Xiao Qingkong pointed to the stump leg he had put back under the blanket.
Huangfuxian's pupils shrank.
His legs are his taboo, no one can touch, no one can see, no one can lift.
Huangfuxian's aura cooled down.
Xiao Jingkong finished her words unaffected: "Jiaojiao has a way to make you stand up again!"
Huangfuxian's eyes moved slightly, and his heart tightened for such a short moment, but it was only a moment.
Soon he returned to a state of stagnation.
He had heard too many words of this kind. As early as in the frontier, there were countless witch doctors, middle-aged doctors, and even genius doctors who claimed to be able to cure him.
It's ridiculous that he believed it when he was young.
The end result, without exception, was to coax him.
He finally came to the fact that his legs were not branches, and they could grow back in spring if they were broken in winter.
It is impossible for him to have legs again in this life, and it is even less likely that he will have the opportunity to stand up.
Xiao Jingkong said seriously: "Jiaojiao said, as long as you work hard, you will definitely stand up!"
uh, effort
Huangfuxian smiled coldly.
Even if he can stand up, it must be in a dream.
The funny thing is that after being disabled for so long, he even forgot what it was like to stand up, and he couldn't dream of that real feeling.
Huangfuxian didn't seriously consider whether Xiao Jingkong's and this Jiaojiao were liars, maybe the other party was just deceiving a child.
He said indifferently, "Don't waste your time, kid."
I can't stand up.
Xiao Jingkong said firmly: "Jiaojiao said you can, so you can! Next time I will bring Jiaojiao to see you!"
After all, he turned over the windowsill and hopped away.
Xiao Jingkong returned to Renshou Palace.
Eunuch Qin went to do errands. Empress Dowager Zhuang was alone in the dormitory. Xiao Jingkong walked in vigorously, took a close look at Empress Dowager Zhuang, and said with akimbo: "Auntie! You are stealing food again! I want to tell Jiaojiao!"
Queen Mother Zhuang almost choked to death with a mouthful of candied fruit!
Xiao Qingkong came over and confiscated her preserves.
Empress Dowager Zhuang firmly grabbed the candied fruit box: "These are all saved by the Aijia in the past few days!"
Xiao Jingkong said solemnly, "Jiaojiao said, you can't save candied fruit!"
You can't eat what you didn't eat before! Anyway, you can only eat five a day! Auntie has just eaten five!
Empress Dowager Zhuang resolutely defends her candied fruit. Is it easy for her to save so much
"Give it to me!" Empress Dowager Zhuang said with great momentum.
"No!" Xiao Jingkong said without showing weakness.
One old and one small each grabbed the two ends of the box and stared at each other, as if an invisible contest had begun in the dormitory.
"The Queen Mother, your Majesty has someone sent snacks over there."
At the door, a little palace maid reported.
Empress Dowager Zhuang fiercely looked at Xiao Jingkong: "Let go."
Xiao Jingkong also looked at her aunt fiercely: "No."
Empress Dowager Zhuang took a deep breath and slowly released her hand: "Okay, all for you, all for you."
Xiao Jingkong raised his eyebrows and showed a small smile of victory.
"Let's see what snacks." Empress Dowager Zhuang said to Xiao Jingkong.
"Oh." Xiao Qingkong put the candied fruit box on the table and ran to the door to pick up the snacks.
Empress Dowager Zhuang glanced at Xiao Jiu, who was sweeping snow with her wings on the Begonia tree, and hid the candied fruit box: "Yeah! Xiao Jiu took the candied fruit away!"
Xiao Jiu, who was inexplicably taking the blame again: ...! !
…
After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month in Zhao Kingdom, the court meeting will begin. The emperor is carefully preparing for the upcoming court meeting in the imperial study, reading the memorials presented by the cabinet, as well as the various voices he asked the spies to collect from the people.
Among them, the voices for the canonization of Princess Ning'an as the eldest princess of protecting the country were very high, and the people all praised Princess Ning'an, as if she had become an indispensable force in this battle.
The emperor loved Ning'an, and naturally he would not resent the reputation of her, but the emperor hesitated a little when he thought of the ambitious Huangfuxian.
A little eunuch came to the door, Eunuch Wei went out softly, listened to the other party whispering a few words, and waved his hand to let the other party back down.
Immediately, he turned around and entered the imperial study: "Your Majesty, Gu Shizi asks to see you."
"Xuan," said the emperor.
Gu Changqing made a great contribution, and the emperor now treats him very highly.
Gu Changqing entered in plain brocade clothes, and bowed his hands in a salute: "Wei Chen has seen His Majesty."
The emperor said in a pleasant manner: "No need to be too polite, you came to see me but you have something to announce?"
"Exactly." Gu Changqing said sternly, "Wei Chen wants to leave the capital for a few days to visit the families of Vice-General Zhao and General Qi. They made great contributions in this battle and could have survived, but to save the soldiers under their command. Together with the people of Lingguan City, they chose to die with the generals of Chen State. Wei Chen wants to take their military badges back in person."
The corpse was wrapped in horse leather, and the only thing he could bring back to his hometown was a military card to prove his identity.
This was originally Gu Changqing's plan, but because of the Xianleju incident, the schedule was ahead of schedule. After condolences to the families of the two, he was going to investigate the details of the young master of Xianleju.
The emperor could not refuse such a request.
The emperor sighed, nodded, and said, "Go, I will reward you when you return to Beijing."
Gu Changqing cupped his hands and said, "What the ministers are asking for is not a reward, but only for the peace and prosperity of the state of Zhao, a harmonious government, a well-off for the people, men farming and women weaving, and no longer have to be displaced by war."
Is this not the emperor's expectation
As a lower country, Zhao Kingdom was far inferior to the Upper Three Kingdoms in terms of economy and military strength. Regardless of the fact that the people of the capital lived in peace and contentment, in fact, in such a bitter and cold place as the frontier fortress, the people shrunk their clothing and food, and it was not easy to even fill their stomachs.
However, the country of Yan, which also has a cold ice field, can achieve a rich and prosperous people's livelihood, and the people will not suffer from hunger and cold.
If he could, he really wanted to go to the State of Yan to learn from the scriptures, to see how the monarch of the State of Yan managed to govern a lower country into the most powerful country of the six kingdoms in just a few decades.
After Gu Changqing got the emperor's permission, he left the capital on the same day, and he was accompanied by two generals of the Gu family's army, so no one suspected that he had other goals in mind.
Gu Changqing's visit today caused quite a stir in the emperor's heart. He suddenly felt that his reward was not enough
After thinking about it, the emperor called Eunuch Wei over: "How is the injury of the old marquis?"
Eunuch Wei smiled and said, "I heard that it's not a big problem. I can walk around the ground, but it's not as neat as before. What Miss Gu said will be cured in the future!"
The emperor snorted and said: "You send someone to Ding'an Hou's mansion to bring the old marquis to the palace. I have something to discuss with him. Remember, the carriage is slow, and don't bump the old marquis."
"Would you like the servant to go there in person?" Eunuch Wei asked.
"Also," said the emperor.
Eunuch Wei then went to the Ding'an Marquis Mansion in person and brought the old marquis to the palace.
Although the old man was able to walk down the ground, he couldn't walk for too long. His limbs were all broken. Although he has grown up now, he still has to support him.
The emperor let him sit in the sedan chair all the way to the imperial study, which is a supreme honor.
And after he entered the imperial study, the emperor immediately gave him another seat.
"Your Majesty." The old man was flattered and planned to stand up and answer.
The emperor squeezed his hand: "Gu Aiqing, sit down, you are my servant, and you also contributed to the battle at the frontier."
The emperor is very aware of the role of the old Marquis in this battle. If it weren't for him, Gu Jiao and Gu Chengfeng would not have gone to the frontier. One more city will be lost, the plague will kill countless people... The emperor may also lose his sister Ning An forever.
In short, thanks to Gu Chao.
Besides, Gu Changqing and Gu Jiajun were so brave, why didn't Gu Chao get arrested
"Weichen dare not act." The old marquis handed over.
The emperor said with emotion: "Gu Chao, Gu Chao, you are blessed, and your grandchildren are all outstanding."
Gu Changqing needless to say, this child has never disappointed since he was a child.
Gu Chengfeng and Gu Jiao were unexpectedly happy.
"Your Majesty has won the prize." The old man said humbly.
"Okay, you and I have been monarchs and ministers for many years, so I don't need to talk about these scenes. I called you into the palace today to discuss with you about awarding your grandchildren."
Although the old marquis is a military general, he is still sensitive to numbers.
"I plan to promote your eldest grandson, Gu Changqing, to be the third-rank Dingbei general, and the second grandson, Gu Chengfeng, to be the sixth-rank Yueqi Commander."
Hearing this, although the old man felt that the reward was a bit large, he also understood that the return from the war was not only a means to appease the soldiers and boost morale, but also a strategy to win over the hearts of the people.
However, the emperor's next words left the old Houye puzzled.
"Your granddaughter is not bad either. I intend to confer her the title of county master, and the title will be drawn up by the Hanlin Academy."
"Wait, Your Majesty, you just mentioned the granddaughter of the old minister? Why did Your Majesty award the granddaughter of the old minister?"
His Majesty wanted to award even the grandchildren of the Gu family who had no merit, shouldn't it start with Gu Chenglin and Gu Yan
That girl is just a girl!
Reward her for what she does!
The emperor smiled and said, "The little genius doctor has made great contributions to the frontier, and of course I will reward her."
The old marquis was stunned: "She... made merit?"
That girl went to the border
The old man said that he didn't understand at all!
Yes, the people from the medical center went to the frontier, she must have passed with the medical team.
What is Gu Chao's reaction
The emperor frowned slightly, and said sternly: "She and Marshal Tang defended the ancient city of Yue, waiting for the Gu family army who came to rescue, and she also rescued you."
The old marquis said excitedly: "That's obviously my little brother's credit! It was my little brother who fought in Yuegu City for several days and nights, and it was my little brother who went to the Prefect's Mansion to rescue me. By the way, even I My little brother also healed my injury. I can't just give me the credit just because the people in her medical clinic changed the medicine for me a few times! Your Majesty, if you want a reward, reward my little brother!"
No one can take the credit for his little brother!
Not even my granddaughter!
Who makes his little brother wronged, who is he in a hurry with!
This time, the emperor was stunned.
What little brother
Said that Cao Cao Cao Cao arrived.
Gu Jiao originally entered the palace to pick up Xiaojingkong, and when she learned that he was going to enter the palace, the old sacrificial wine asked him to bring a memorial to the emperor.
She is here to present a memorial to the emperor.
Of course, Eunuch Wei would not stop her. After all, it was not about any military affairs. Eunuch Wei led the person to the door of the imperial study: "Your Majesty."
The emperor turned his head, saw Gu Jiao at the door, smiled and waved at Gu Jiao: "Come in! I'm talking about you!"
Gu Jiao stepped inside.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she stepped on the threshold with one foot, she saw the old man sitting on the chair.
She stopped on the spot!
The old man turned his head, he wanted to see who was coming.
At the critical moment, Gu Jiao took out the mask and put it on her face!
It's just that Gu Jiao forgot that this was not a frontier, she was wearing a woman's skirt and cloud skirt.
I'm too sleepy. I'll get up tomorrow to write, everyone. Good night.
