Chapter 1022: Refusing to go to the border

"There is one more thing, the lower official also caught Zhou Yuancong who escaped this time!"

"Oh? Seriously? That's great! Where are people now? Rao is the prince's calm temperament, and he can't help but be happy.

This Zhou Yuancong must have been instructed by someone to dare to rebel. Otherwise, with such a small number of people, he also wants to set off a storm? That's a fool's dream.

There are many Praetorian Guards and secret guards around the prince, and he wants to take down the prince in one fell swoop, Gu Chengyu feels that with Zhou Yuancong's ability, it is estimated that it is still a little worse.

"I have been imprisoned in Dali Temple with the assassin, and the lower officials think that it is better to interrogate the master behind this person earlier, so as to save a lot of dreams at night."

The crown prince naturally knew this truth, and he thought for a while and said, "You go with this palace to interrogate those who are at this moment and Zhou Yuancong, and you must ask the mastermind behind him." ”

The prince's eyes lit up, and he hoped that this time he could hear the answer he wanted from Zhou Yuan's mouth.

Gu Chengyu hurriedly nodded yes, he really wanted to interrogate those assassins. After all, the senior brother is still at the border pass, and if there is any change in Daxing, the pass over there must bear the brunt.

"Let's go!" The prince took a few steps forward, and then seemed to think of something, and looked back at Gu Chengyu again.

"Master Gu! This palace looks at your martial arts well, and it is not a problem to have one enemy and one hundred. In recent years, Daxing has repeatedly harassed the border passes, and its heart can be punished, but this dynasty has no long-standing battlefield to resist, so that Daxing's ambition is getting bigger and bigger. When the emperor's grandfather fought the country, he was surrounded by ministers and fierce generals, which is why there is a great country today. “

"But when it was my father's turn to guard the country, most of our famous generals in Dayan were gone. Nowadays, even if there are fierce generals, there are only a handful. Therefore, this palace has been worrying about this matter in recent days. ”

The prince frowned lightly, looked at Gu Chengyu's calm face, and sighed.

Gu Chengyu's heart sank, what does this mean? Do you want him to guard the border?

The hall fell silent instantly, the prince didn't see anything unusual from Gu Chengyu's face, he wasn't even surprised, could it be that Gu Chengyu had already known about it?

In fact, Gu Chengyu was indeed very surprised at this time, he was busy from last night to now, where could he receive the news so quickly?

It's just that he doesn't like to show his thoughts on his face, and what he thinks about now is who brought it up.

Xia Qing has been locked up in Dali Temple, and his henchmen are dormant for fear of being implicated, where do they dare to come out and jump?

He pondered for a while, and then thought of the several great families in the capital today. He also knew that because of his existence, he was blocking the path of those civil officials.

It's just that he is still going to be promoted now, where can he take care of others?

If he's already paid homage today, then he doesn't mind keeping a low profile. But before that, in order to quickly improve the grade, it was natural to keep a low profile.

The only people who can make such suggestions are those senior officials in the DPRK and China. Those of low grade did not dare to oppose him.

Those people had a good plan to get him out of the capital, so as not to hinder them.

Gu Chengyu sneered in his heart, this prince has not yet ascended the throne, and Daxing is still eyeing him, and these people have begun to exclude dissidents.

It is necessary to know that under the nest, there are no eggs. Now that Daxingdu has broken into the palace, are these people not worried?

Only when the dynasty is stable can these officials enjoy endless glory and wealth. Why is it that the horizon is so narrow, and they only know how to stare at the one acre and three points of land in the court?

"Master Gu, as you can see, Dayan is actually not peaceful now. If there is no one who will deter Daxing, we will be in danger! ”

After the prince finished speaking, he sighed deeply, retracted the steps he had just taken, and turned to sit in front of the bookcase.

"His Royal Highness the Prince! There are countless martial arts in this world, after you ascend the throne, when you are amnesty to the world, add martial arts, and then the world's heroes will not be left to your Royal Highness? The emperor's spirit was not good in previous years, and this martial arts move was also not prosperous. Although Dayan emphasizes literature over military force, the tranquility of the border pass still has to be managed by these generals. ”

Gu Chengyu had a light smile on his face, but he didn't have any displeasure.

The prince also knew that this matter was difficult for some strongmen, Gu Chengyu's political achievements were not small, how could he abandon literature and follow martial arts?

In fact, he didn't need to ask Gu Chengyu what he meant, after he ascended the throne, he would be the Ninety-Five Emperor. If he insisted on sending Gu Chengyu to the border gate, would Gu Chengyu still dare to resist and disobey the order?

It's just that now that he is still the crown prince, his father's explanation to Gu Chengyu before his death is like a sharp sword hanging above his head, and he can't force Gu Chengyu to be in a hurry.

What's more, Gu Chengyu's strategy is extraordinary, and he will have to rely on the other party more in the future.

"Your suggestion is really good, but now looking at the situation at the border gate, I'm afraid I can't wait for that time. At this time, it was the middle of winter, and the people of Daxing were hungry and cold, so they must have been eyeing the people at the border for a long time. Moreover, Daxing dared to send so many assassins to our territory this time, and there must be some big conspiracy brewing. ”

The prince looked at Gu Chengyu with a look of hope, hoping that Gu Chengyu would take the initiative to solve his problems.

"Your Highness! Xiaguan has been enlightened since he was five years old and has been studying for ten years, just to be able to enter the imperial examination. You also know that Xia Guan's mother was born as a servant girl, and she is often sad about it. Since he was studying, Xia Guan secretly swore that one day, he would let his mother wear the phoenix crown and xia veil, which was the filial piety that he should do as a son of man. ”

Gu Chengyu suddenly talked about his mother's background, which made the prince stunned. Then he saw Gu Chengyu's calm face, but he also felt a little relieved.

The son is not ugly to the mother, and the dog is not poor at home. It turned out that Gu Chengyu was admitted to the office, and there was also his mother's reason.

The crown prince nodded, "Lord Gu is a person who values love and righteousness, and this is the filial piety that should be done." There are many superficial people in the world, and such villains who tend to be inflammatory, don't pay attention to them. ”

"Your Highness is right! In fact, at that time, Xia Guan liked martial arts more than Xiwen, but her mother often said that if she became that general, she would not be able to return home for decades, so what should she do if she misses her son? But let her leave her hometown, and she didn't want to, it was really hard to leave her homeland. The lower officials had no choice but to abandon Wu Congwen. ”

Gu Chengyu also sighed slightly, and seemed to have some regrets about what happened back then.

The prince was stunned, and it turned out that he was going around and around, in order to use filial piety to pressure him.

"Learn to become a martial artist, and the goods are with the emperor's family. Whether it is from literature or from martial arts, in the end it is to serve the court. The lower official should have shared his worries for His Royal Highness the Prince, but the lower official had filial piety to suppress himself, and he couldn't bear to refute his mother's wishes, and asked His Royal Highness to forgive his sins. ”

Gu Chengyu showed a look of embarrassment on his face, he knew that the prince would not persecute him too much, after all, the prince had not yet been able to ascend to the throne!

The reason for refusal can be passed on the surface, but who else will ask Lu Shi if he can't?

Since ancient times, it has been difficult to achieve both loyalty and filial piety, although according to the general righteousness, it is natural to choose loyalty. It's just that he also said just now that his mother doesn't want him to pursue a military career.
