The Cannon Fodder and Villain’s Happy Ending

King Duan raised his eyes to Gu Zezhi, who was only three steps away from him. He felt that his son was familiar but unfamiliar. The father and son looked at each other, and the king concluded for a moment.

The third son who has just reached the crown is already more than an inch taller than him. His lips are always with a faint smile, soft as jade, as if they can speak very well, but the eyebrows are full of determination, like a hand. The sword hidden in the sheath.

King Duan carefully savored the words of Gu Zezhi in his heart, and understood: Son's meaning is very clear. He was saying that he would not return to Luo'an City again, he had separated himself and went out.

For some reason, Duan Wang's heart trembled abruptly, and his chest became stuffy, as if something was blocked.

He subconsciously asked, "Zezhi, are you blaming this king?"

Gu Zezhi smiled and said nothing.

Obviously Gu Zezhi was smiling, but his smile made Duan Wang's heart more uncomfortable.

"Ze Zhi..." Duan Wang hesitated to speak.

Gu Zezhi also said: "It is not good for the father to guard the frontier, and it is not good for him to always be absent. The army cannot be left alone.

Is Zezhi driving himself back to Xinjiang? ! King Duan looked at Gu Zezhi in a daze, feeling that his hard work had been disappointed.

King Duan was silent for a while before he sighed softly and said, "Okay, this king will go back soon."

King Duan secretly made up his mind. When he returned to Xijiang, he wanted to find out everything, and then put the truth in front of the princess and Zezhi. Then they would know that they had wronged the son.

Only in this way can we dispel the sincere views of the princess and Zezhi towards the son.

Thinking about this, King Duan felt a little better, and told him: "After the king returns, you will do your job well in the capital, so don't cause trouble."

"Also, let your mother... return to Beijing soon, it's too messy outside."

"Yes!" Gu Zezhi arched his hands, "Father, if there is nothing wrong, we will leave first."

Qin Jiu, with a low eyebrow and pleasing eyebrows beside Duan Dynasty, took a look and knew that his son was probably shopping with his future daughter-in-law.

Daqi’s folk customs are not as conservative as the previous dynasty. The two engaged young couples go shopping together. As the elders, Duan Wang still loves to hear and hear, and with some emotion, he remembers that he and the princess did this when they were young. Riding a horse on the streets of the capital.

King Duan nodded and waved: "Go ahead."

Therefore, Gu Zezhi and Qin Jiu led the horse and left without looking back.

Qin Jiao let out a long sigh of relief, and being with King Duan always made her very uncomfortable.

How should I put it, Duanwang's brain circuit is different from normal people. Although she didn't talk to him, but just listened, there was a kind of boredom that she couldn't understand.

It happened that the king was Gu Zezhi's own father, and she couldn't use the whip directly, her hands were itchy just now!

Qin Jiao turned his head and looked at Gu Zezhi to his side, looking at a gentle side. In the sun, his contoured face was faint with a faint halo, and his eyebrows were picturesque.

In Qin Jiao's view, Gu Zezhi always hides his emotions too deeply, so deep that no one can see through him.

As if he had noticed Qin Jiu's gaze, Gu Zezhi turned his face slightly, and the moment his gaze faced her, there was a little loneliness in his narrow phoenix eyes.

Qin Jiu: "!"

She knew that Gu Zezhi didn't have no feelings for King Duan, so he was still sad for King Duan to treat him like this for the sake of his son.

Qin Jiu felt that the golden thighs were really pitiful.

She tilted her head, thought about it, took out a pine nuts from her purse and handed it to him.

Qin Jiu's eyebrows are crooked, his big apricot eyes are bright and bright.

Gu Zezhi didn't pick it up, but sighed softly. Under the backlight, his face was slightly dull and even more lonely.

Qin Jiusheng was afraid that he could not think about it, so he quickly raised his hand and handed the pine nuts to his mouth. Gu Zezhi leaned forward to hold the sugar. When he pressed his lips, the corners of his lips rose slightly, and his smile spread to the corners of his eyes and eyebrows. .

Qin Jiu: "Is it sweet?"

Gu Zezhi used his fist to cover his lips and laughed, nodding, "Sweet!"

The smile at the bottom of the eyes is like spring water.

Qin Jiao looked at him with a deeper smile, and she felt that she was getting more and more skilled in coaxing Gu Zezhi!

"This rose pine praline was made by myself."

"In addition to pine nuts and honey, there is also rose, which is fragrant and delicious."

"Do you want more?"

"..."

As they spoke, the two gradually moved away.

King Duan watched them drifting away, his heart was as heavy as a boulder, and for the first time a thought emerged:

Is he wrong?

King Duan stood there for a long time, until the two figures completely disappeared at the entrance of the street, then turned and left.

On the same day, King Duan entered the palace and asked the emperor to return to Western Xinjiang, and the emperor immediately agreed.

Three days later, King Duan left Beijing.

Soon after King Duan left Beijing, the emperor issued another imperial decree, ordering the only daughter of Princess Yongle to be brought into the capital from Yuzhou.

All the officials in the court knew that the last time the emperor became seriously ill was related to the death of the princess Yongle, and they also knew the emperor’s heart to the king of Yu.

At that time, the emperor favored Concubine Fang Shu and the mother and son of Wang Yu, and banned Jinshang, who was still the prince at the time, in the Prince's Mansion. King Yu was heavily used by the first emperors. He also visited the Prince's Mansion three times to "visit" today. What happened then? No one knows except for the two brothers. What everyone knows is that Jin Shang, who was the prince at the time, vomited blood for the last time and was dying.

The grievances between Jinshang and the King of Yu can be said to have been cut and sorted out and chaos, and Princess Yongle is also involved...

But in any case, you can't bring Yongle's daughter back to Beijing.

Right now, there were old-fashioned imperial envoys who made a series of protests. Some people say that the emperor ordered the princess Yongle to choose Dongping as the husband. The daughter of the princess Yongle is the Fang family, and the girl Fang has a father and a grandmother. Take it back to the palace to raise discord.

It is also said that Princess Yongle is a twist between the emperor and the king of Yu. Now that Princess Yongle has just gone to the immortal, the emperor will take Mrs. Fang to the capital. I am afraid that the king will think more about it, thinking that the emperor will do something to him. , And also said that harmony between brothers is precious.

Those folds were all pressed down by the emperor.

The court was so lively and noisy for several days, until an "interesting" book appeared on the emperor's imperial case.

"Zezhi, look at it." The emperor randomly threw a fold to Gu Zezhi.

Gu Zezhi easily raised his hand to catch the zhezi, opened it, and raised his sword eyebrows.

It was mentioned in this article that if the emperor insisted on raising Fang Da in Beijing, it would be natural to choose a good marriage for her in Beijing. The second prince is about the same age as her and is a cousin, so the emperor can rest assured in the future.

Gu Zezhi closed the zipper, and met the emperor's eyes like a mirror.

As soon as the emperor saw this zhezi, he immediately understood the purpose of the quarrelling for so many days.

The emperor's eyes were deep, and he couldn't help but murmured at Gu Zezhi: "These people are really stubborn, and they are still thinking about the merits of Conglong!"

"The Yun family rejected Gu Jing's marriage, so they hit the idea on my niece. Knowing that I feel sorry for that girl, they wanted to take this to turn Gu Jing over."

"I don't want to think..." The emperor got more and more angry, and slapped his palm heavily on the royal case, so that the tea cup overflowed with some tea.

Zhou Xin hurriedly cleaned up the desk for the emperor, for fear that the tea would get wet.

The emperor's words were not finished, but Zhou Xin also knew what the emperor was angry about. Girl Fang had just lost her mother, and some people dared to mention her marriage. These people were really courageous enough!

Gu Zezhi put the zhezi aside and reminded: "The emperor, it's just a few words from these people, if the empress dowager is touched."

emperor:"……"

Miss Fang Da is the granddaughter of Queen Mother Liu, and the second prince has always been favored by the Queen Mother. If Queen Mother Liu is really moved...

The emperor's face became more solemn.

On the same day, the emperor sent people directly to Yuzhou to pick up the people, and made another imperial decree, ordering the second prince Gu Jing to leave the palace and open the mansion.

For the prince, it is a good thing to go out of the palace to open the palace. Only when he leaves the palace can the prince cultivate his own connections. However, the emperor only ordered the second prince to go out of the palace, but did not grant any titles to the second prince. People have to think deeply.

For a time, all kinds of comments and speculations were endless.

For various reasons, Cheng Engong and others tried to persuade each other. However, the emperor ignored them, and more and more people persuaded him. The emperor simply ordered the second prince to move in ten days, and did not even give time to repair the house. Up.

On April 20th, as soon as the time came, the emperor "sent" people out of the palace directly.

This incident caused a lot of trouble in Beijing. Of course, Qin Zhun knew about it even if he was on the edge of the court.

Qin Zhun was worried, and walked about in the study anxiously.

Since the second prince was banned by the emperor before, Qin Zhun hasn't slept well for several days. There is a blue shadow in his eye sockets, and he is upset, just thinking that things have gone wrong recently.

The errand he was optimistic about was turned off, and the Su family was messing up because of Su Xiyang's accident, which caused him to miss the missing relationship between him and Taipusi Shaoqing, completely not thinking about the love of in-laws.

Just thinking about it, Qin Zhun felt his teeth itchy, and blamed both the Su family and the Su family.

More than this, since the three brothers and sisters in the long house went out, he has been criticized. Many people are pointing to him behind the scenes, saying that he has treated the orphans in the long house, and they don’t want to think about him. The family business of the mansion is divided into "70%" to the long house. Now the long house is free and easy, and his life is difficult. This year, the income of the shop Zhuangzi has not been confiscated. The expenses of the mansion are difficult, so I just have to go to pawn. Up.

Also, the second prince is often short of silver, so much silver in front of him has been spent like running water, and now he can only bite the bullet and continue to fill in, as if filling a bottomless hole...

Qin Zhun couldn't help thinking of the emperor's last time in the early dynasty that he wanted to make the sixth prince the prince. If the second prince did not succeed in the end, then the Qin family would have bet the wrong treasure.

Qin Zhun felt that his heart was dripping with blood, and his gray hair grew a lot because of it, and he couldn't help sighing again.

Qin Xin only thought that Qin Zhun was upset about the second prince's opening of the mansion, and persuaded: "Father, the second prince is unwilling at the moment, and you don't have to worry too much..."

To put it bluntly, Qin Zhun looked towards Qin Xin with an arrow. After all, if it weren't for Qin Xin, why would he be in a hurry to stand in line, and he would not fall into the current dilemma.

Qin Xin didn't see the anger in Qin Zhun's eyes, and said confidently and calmly: "Father, the emperor's dragon body is not good. Look, when Princess Yongle died, the emperor fell down, enough to see his dragon body is already It's riddled with holes, and the end of the battle."

"Think about it, the Daqi Dynasty never established a young lord. If the emperor can't support the sixth prince to reach adulthood, only the second prince can succeed."

Qin Zhun was slightly relaxed when Qin Xin said so.

Qin Xin picked up the teacup and took a sip, her eyes flickering.

In the previous life, she was far away in exile. It was really difficult there. She was so busy and exhausted to eat every day, there was no time to take care of other things. However, she still knew about Emperor Bengling. It has not been a few years since now.

Qin Xin looked determined, and then analyzed: "Father, even if the emperor insists on making the sixth prince the prince, as long as there are many oppositions from the upper side, the emperor cannot ignore the opinions of the officials. The past two years can always be delayed. of."

"In the past two years, His Highness the Second Prince is enough to make up for the disadvantage."

"The second prince opening the mansion at this time has both disadvantages and benefits. A few days ago, the second prince was forbidden by the emperor in the palace. It’s easier to do anything."

Qin Xin said meaningfully, just about saying "Gu Jing opened the mansion so that he could win people's hearts".

Qin Zhun's expression eased a little again, feeling that what Qin Xin said was very reasonable.

What was the emperor’s dragon body like? All the courtiers have been watching over the years. They ate soup medicine for ten months a year. This time, because of the princess Yongle’s death, the emperor completely stopped the court. On the 5th, all the imperial doctors of the Imperial Hospital almost stayed in the Palace of Yangxin.

In another year or two, the emperor’s dragon body is even worse. If he can’t have a young son, he will definitely have the eldest son. The second prince has the support of Empress Liu. In contrast, the three princes are warm in temperament and the fourth princes are weak. Suitable as a prince, the second prince's advantage among several adult princes is obvious.

Moreover, he invested too much in the second prince. Except for the property divided by the long house, nearly half of the remaining family property has been invested in. At this time, if he retreats, these silvers are equivalent to splashing!

Besides, everyone knows that he is on the side of the second prince. He can't change to support the sixth prince instead. If he repeats this way, who will trust him.

Qin Zhun calmed down a lot, sat down with his robe, pondered for a moment, and said: "Sister Xin, you are almost ready to go, now that the second prince has left the palace, you should marry early."

Qin Zhun naturally has his own plan. The second prince’s concubine has not yet decided yet. Qin Xin can rush to "marry" before the concubine passes, and regenerate a son earlier, an emperor with Qin family blood. Sun is the greatest guarantee for the Qin family.

Moreover, heirs are important. Once the second prince has a grandson, this will also be the second prince’s advantage in seizing the prince. After all, the sixth prince is only six years old this year. If you want to become a biological child, you have to wait at least nine years. These nine years It is impossible to cross, not to mention the distance, just look at the Royal Palace near you can know how important the offspring is to the royal family.

"Yes, father."

Qin Xin responded obediently on the surface, feeling annoyed, but didn't dare to show the slightest bit: First it was the Yun Jiao Niang, and now there is another Fang Da girl from the Dongping House, all staring at other men's men, really mean!

Qin Xin personally poured a cup of hot tea for Qin Zhun and brought it to him.

She knew that now she could only rely on Qin Zhun, and as long as the Qin family felt that she was still valuable, then her life in the Second Prince's Mansion would be better in the future.

Qin Zhun drank two sips of tea, put down the tea cup and said, "Sister Xin, do you think you should go to the Second Prince's Mansion and His Highness He Yihe is moved?"

Qin Zhun knew that Duke Cheng’en would hold a housewarming banquet for the second prince in two days, and the banquet posts were also sent to the Zhongyihou’s mansion, but he felt that his relationship with the second prince was very different. The second prince just moved to the prince’s mansion today. It's not that I should go to congratulate him earlier, so that the second prince knows that the Hou Mansion is loyal to him.

"Father, you should take a trip." Qin Xin said.

Qin Zhun felt that it was the same, and murmured, stroking his beard, "Giving charcoal in the snow is much better than icing on the cake."

Qin Zhun's heart was hot, and the more he thought about it, the more impatient he got, he got up from his chair and felt he had to make a trip to the Second Prince's Mansion.

He was about to leave, and stopped again, thinking and thinking, and said to Qin Xin: "Sister Xin, just go with me."

Qin Xin hadn't seen Gu Jing for a long time, and wanted to see him, his eyes lit up.

She smiled reservedly, got up and said, "Then I will go with my father."

Qin Zhun immediately prepared a carriage and went from the Hou Mansion to the Second Prince's Mansion in the south of the city.

At this time, in the Second Prince's Mansion, only Gu Jing and the maidservants he brought out of the palace were the only ones.

The members of the ritual department sent him here in front of a stick of incense, and hurriedly left.

Looking at the strange and deserted house in front of him, Gu Jing was a little dazed.

Since being forbidden by his father in the palace, during this period, Gu Jing was panicked and almost awake at night, especially when he heard that his father wanted to make Gu Wei the prince, his heart was as cold as ice and he knew his father. The emperor gave up on him in almost all cases.

Gu Jing was not convinced.

He had been preparing for so long and had worked hard for so long. He wanted to exchange the peace between Daqi and Beiyan for his father and the emperor to look at him differently, but he was robbed of everything by a child like Gu Ju.

He was dissatisfied, he was dissatisfied, but helpless.

When he was worried that his father didn't know when he would be placed under house arrest, his father suddenly ordered him to open the mansion, and then sent someone to send him here. During the whole process, he was very passive and confused.

He tried to beg to see his father, but he didn't want to see him at all, so he asked Zhou Xin to pass on the decree.

Gu Jing clenched his fists tightly and looked at the house in front of him.

He remembered that this was the house left by his predecessor, Youdu, when he was in his post. As far as his eyes could be, it was barren, with broken walls and wild vegetation. It was unoccupied for at least three years. It was old and dilapidated, and it was not suitable rules.

He is a prince, and the prince’s residences are regulated, but this residence is nothing but a residence that was rewarded to the predecessor Yushi Yushi when the first emperor was alive. It was just an ordinary Sanjin residence.

The father let him live here, but how can he live!

Moreover, apart from the servants and maids he used in the palace before, he could not bring them out alone.

There were no stewards, no guards, no concierge in the house...now there was nothing, just such an empty mansion, and even no money for opening the mansion.

If this is placed in the folk, it means that the father swept his son out.

Just thinking about it, Gu Jing felt sad. He was so devoted and exhausted, but his father regarded him as a useless waste son. Moreover, the courtiers were also stunned. Today he moved to the Prince's Mansion, no one came to congratulate...

"His Royal Highness..." The little waiter on the side could also see that Gu Jing was in a bad mood, but standing like this was no way.

The little servant was trying to persuade Gu Jing to move into the house and settle down, so he heard a hard male voice from behind: "I heard about the housewarming of the second prince today, I came here to express my joy."

Gu Jing's body stiffened, and the master immediately heard the voice and turned to look.

Seven or eight feet away, Yeluluan, dressed in a blue lapel robe, walked towards this side with a head high, with a sneer of yin and yang on her lips.

With his arrival, the atmosphere froze.

Gu Jing: "!"

As far as he knew, his father had sent people to northern Xinjiang to deliver the two countries and the book. Yeluluan was temporarily placed under house arrest by his father in Siyi Pavilion, waiting for the wedding date.

Why is Yeluluan here? !

The little servant felt that Yeluluan’s arrival was unkind, and guarded him in front of Gu Jing. Gu Jing waved his hand and told him to retreat. Then he flicked his hand at Yeluluan. A trip to Siyi Pavilion."

"Really?" Yeluluan didn't smile, "I thought the first thing the second prince saw me was for someone to send me back to the Siyi Pavilion!"

Gu Jing looked at Yeluluan sternly and said, "Prince Yelu, I wanted to explain it to you a long time ago. That's not the case. I didn't know beforehand that Yu Fuyun had gone to northern Xinjiang..."

Thinking of the scenes in the Royal Study Room that day, Gu Jing's pupils changed from bright to dark, and she read Gu Zezhi's name bitterly in her heart: Hateful, then Gu Zezhi clearly made enemies for him!

Gu Jing explained that Yeluluan just listened, and the ridicule on the corners of his lips grew thicker.

As far as Yeluluan was concerned, he had already suffered a loss in Gu Jing's hands, and of course he would not be foolish enough to believe him again.

He has been played by Gu Jing and Gu Zezhi jointly. This Gu Jing was even more angry than Gu Zezhi. At the beginning, he was eloquent and gave in to them in every possible way, and allowed various conditions only for the two countries to negotiate peace. , And even said about the future cooperation, Gu Jing behaved too sincerely, and he really believed it, but didn't want Gu Jing to be playing a game with him all the time.

Thinking about it at this moment, Yeluluan still felt aggrieved, and there was another colic in his chest.

He has already suffered a loss in Gu Jing's hands. No matter what Gu Jing said, Yeluluan would not be foolish enough to believe him.

Yeluluan sneered mockingly, "His Royal Highness, if you were me, would you believe it?"

"..." Gu Jing concluded for a while.

He had to admit that if it were himself, he would not believe it.

Seeing Yeluluan's unbelief, Gu Jing also became impatient. He has been having troubles these days, so there is no mood to coax others.

He patiently said again: "How my father treated me, Prince Yelu has also seen it, believe it or not, it's up to the prince."

For this peace talk, for the cooperation with Yeluluan, the price he paid has been great enough!

Gu Jing's eyes were faint, and his fists were placed in the wide cuffs, and then held again.

Yeluluan stared at Gu Jing quietly, his sharp eyes seemed to penetrate him. After a while, he looked at the broken house behind, pulled out a sneer, and nodded: "Okay, I believe you."

Seeing that the other party finally believed, Gu Jing was also relieved. He has nothing now. Although Yeluluan is about to become the proton of Beiyan, he is the second prince of Beiyan after all, and there may not be no use!

Yeluluan beckoned to Gu Jing, "His Royal Highness, I have something to tell you..."

Gu Jing took two steps towards him, Yeluluan lowered his voice and said, "That's it..."

His words only went to this point, with a sly smile on the corner of his lips, and when he drew his right hand into his sleeve, there was a cold dagger in his hand.

And this dagger stabbed at the base of his thigh with a thunderous force...

At this moment, time seemed to have stagnated, and the surrounding palace people watched this scene in disbelief.

"Tick, tick."

Blood spilled rapidly from the wound, dyeing the surrounding clothing red, and drops of red blood dripped on the ground below.

"Tick, tick, tick..."
