Died In Infancy! My Wife Is Actually A Villain

Chapter 244 The Army Returns To Beijing

A week later, Zhao Tai led his troops back to Kyoto.

When Emperor Wu learned that the army had returned, he immediately went out of the city gate to greet them. On the same day, Emperor Wu held a celebration banquet to welcome all the soldiers.

At the banquet, all the soldiers gathered together, while Emperor Wu and Queen Nangong sat above the banquet.

Then General Zhao Tai briefly explained the situation in Mobei during the past six months to Emperor Wu, and rewarded the meritorious soldiers and compensated those who sacrificed their lives for the country.

Regarding these issues, Emperor Wu readily agreed and asked Zhao Tai to find people in the official department to record them in the book, and then reward him based on his merits.

"Your Majesty, General, do you have anything else to ask for?"

At this moment, Zhao Tai clasped his hands and asked again.

Emperor Wu smiled and asked: "General, it doesn't matter. You have solved the great trouble in Mobei for me this time. As long as I can do it, I will definitely agree to you."

Zhao Taidao: "Now that the war situation in the north has been calmed down, the people are living well and don't need to worry about foreign invasion. The sixth prince Gu Tianming also made a lot of contributions in the war. I hope that your majesty can transfer the sixth prince back to Kyoto to join the government. .”

Although he didn't know why Gu Tianming was removed from the title of king and then demoted to a borderland like the North.

But in Zhao Tai's mind, the sixth prince Gu Tianming was thoughtful and steady, and he was the one among the princes who could hold a big position.

The most important thing is that the other party is his daughter's future husband. He cannot let his daughter wait for the other party to come back or marry to a borderland like the north.

Therefore, taking advantage of this great victory, Zhao Tai still wanted to fight with His Majesty and try his best to transfer his future husband back to Kyoto.

The original smile on Emperor Wu's face suddenly turned cold. He glanced down at Zhao Tai and did not answer the other party's question.

When Lao Liu did such a treasonous thing, it was very kind of him not to kill him directly.

If he is to be transferred back just because the other party won the battle, then where should he put his emperor's face? !

Queen Nangong was also worried, and subconsciously glanced at Emperor Wu next to her out of the corner of her eye.

Although the other party's expression was relatively calm, she could still feel the anger and displeasure in the other party's heart at this moment.

And although she still looks like a queen on the outside, she still acts like a mother who respects the world in front of outsiders.

But all power has been removed long ago, and he is imprisoned in a deep palace like a canary without any freedom.

Gu Chen, who was sitting below and drinking, also looked curiously at the faces of Emperor Wu and Queen Nangong.

Obviously, Emperor Wu did not want to agree to General Zhao's request.

After a brief silence, Emperor Wu looked down at Zhao Tai and said coldly: "General Zhao, I cannot agree to your request. Please find another one."

Zhao Tai explained: "Your Majesty, the Sixth Prince has been fighting for the Great Zhou Dynasty these years. He has no merit but hard work. Why would he be transferred to a place like the Northern Territory?!"

Seeing that Zhao Tai was still here to persuade him, Emperor Wu looked a little displeased and shouted: "Because he made a big mistake and made a mistake that even I can't forgive. If I hadn't thought of the achievements he had made over the years, I would have made a mistake earlier." Just kill him!"

Seeing Emperor Wu's anger, Zhao Tai was also startled and didn't know how to speak.

Yang Wu, who was standing next to him, noticed that Emperor Wu's expression was wrong, and immediately stood up to intercede for Zhao Tai, "Your Majesty, the general drank too much tonight, so he lost his sense of proportion and angered Your Majesty. Please forgive me."

"I'm not angry."

Emperor Wu waved his hand, and his mood stabilized, and then said: "In the future, matters related to the Sixth Prince are not allowed to be mentioned again. I know better than anyone else."

Zhao Tai also knew at this moment that His Majesty was really angry, so he sat back honestly.

After what happened just now, all the soldiers were not interested and did not dare to talk nonsense.

After three rounds of drinking, the banquet was almost coming to an end. Emperor Wu stood up first, briefly explained to the soldiers, and then left with Queen Nangong.

Afterwards, all the soldiers also left the scene.

When leaving the palace, Gu Yongyi walked with Gu Chen. Thinking of the scene where Emperor Wu got angry at the banquet, he looked at Gu Chen curiously and asked: "Brother Ninth, what on earth do you think Brother Six has committed to make Father Emperor like this?" angry!"

Although, he doesn't like Gu Tianming very much.

But during the time we spent together in the north, there were still many things to admire about the other party.

Therefore, he couldn't figure out what mistake the other party had made to make his father so angry.

My father even thought about killing him.

Gu Chen shook his head and said calmly: "I don't know."

Not many people knew about the affair between Gu Tianming and Queen Nangong. After all, it was a royal scandal.

Except for the old eunuch in the palace, only Zhen Guogong and Jiang Anran knew about it, but Gu Yongyi didn't know about it.

It's not that Gu Chen doesn't believe him, but that the other person is more straightforward and is afraid that he will spill the beans.

Seeing that Gu Chen was not sure, Gu Yongyi didn't ask any more questions, but there was still a puzzled look in his eyes.

....

In the prime minister's house.

Nangong Qian came to the study where Nangong Jue's office was used, with a hint of embarrassment on his face, and asked rather sadly: "Dad, why did you marry Zhu'er to King Qi!"

Although Nangong Qian did not come back with the army, he only came back today because of identity issues. But as soon as he returned home, he learned that his daughter was marrying to Prince Qi's Mansion.

He had never been very optimistic about King Gu Jiang of Qi. He had numerous concubines in his house and all kinds of intrigues.

Although Zhu'er is a little arrogant, her mind is extremely simple. If she is married to Prince Qi's palace, how can she be a match for those concubines?

The key point is that King Qi Gu Jiang is also a passionate person, and there is no way he can protect Zhuer.

Nangong Jue glanced at Nangong Qian and said in a low voice: "It's time for the male to get married, the female to get married, and Zhu'er has reached the age where it's time to start a family. Although King Gu Jiang of Qi is not as good as King Zhuang, his status is still a prince. It would be a good match for Pearl to marry him."

Nangong Qian retorted: "But King Qi has kept many concubines in his house in his early years. If Zhu'er marries him, can he treat her sincerely?!"

Nangong Jue's face also turned cold, and he turned to look at Nangong Qian next to him, "What?! Are you dissatisfied with the marriage I arranged for Zhuer, or do you think I am too old to make decisions for my granddaughter!"

Seeing that Nangong Jue was angry, Nangong Qian did not dare to be as excited as before. He immediately lowered his head and continued to persuade: "Dad, how dare my son be dissatisfied with you? You gave me my son's life. The reason why I was in such a mood just now I'm a little anxious, just because I'm worried that Zhu'er will not have a good life in Prince Qi's Mansion."

"You are a father, and I am also Pearl's father. I believe you can understand how I feel."

Nangong Jue's expression softened a little, and he said calmly: "I can understand your concern for Zhu'er, but now it's done, and no matter how much you say, it won't help. Even if King Gu Jiang of Qi is a little more carefree, he will definitely do it for the sake of the Prime Minister's Mansion. Don’t dare to make things difficult for Zhu’er, you don’t have to worry so much.”

Nangong Qian didn't dare to defend himself, lowered his head and replied: "What father said was that his son was careless just now."
