Gu Yongnian's words stunned Emperor Zhao Kuangyu. After his eyes fell on Ge Li, he understood.
"Gu Aiqing, do you think the Guan brothers are not worthy of being handsome?" Zhao Kuangyu asked hesitantly.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, although the Guan brothers are brave, they lack the talent of a wise general." Gu Yongnian kowtowed: "If I had been a wise general in this battle, there would not have been any losses. Looking at the reckless behavior of the Guan brothers, this army has not yet If they join together and dare to fight Bei Mang, this already shows that they are brave and foolhardy!"
"Have you noticed this before? Or did you just think of it because of today's incident?" Zhao Kuangyu asked.
"Your Majesty, both ministers can testify, and Lord Wen Qinghai also has official seal records."
After hearing Gu Yongnian's words, Zhao Kuangyu immediately looked at Wen Qinghai.
Wen Qinghai also didn't expect that his little moves would be known to Gu Yongnian. However, at this point, he had no way to escape and could only stand up.
"Reporting to your majesty, I do have this record, but the content in it is just the content. I hope your majesty will not be angry." Wen Qinghai kowtowed quickly.
"Oh? Is there anything else that could make me even more angry?" Zhao Kuangyu laughed angrily: "Come on, show it to me quickly so that I can see it."
Wen Qinghai glanced at Gu Yongnian, and then at Qu Zhongyi, who was slumped on the ground.
When the official took it out, recorded images appeared instantly in Qinzheng Hall.
Seeing so many video records, Emperor Zhao Kuangyu wanted to scold his mother. These were all transformed by Gu's dragon energy, so you ruined them like this?
However, Zhao Kuangyu still did not directly burst into thunderous rage. After all, he was now concerned about what Gu Yongnian said before.
When the scene was modulated to the main hall of the Gu Mansion, the video began to play.
This was recorded in the side hall. Gu Yongnian happened to be talking to Gurley. As the two continued to communicate, the conversation gradually led to the selection of the northern commander...
Listening to the bold remarks inside, Zhao Kuangyu closed his eyes and began to think. He was not a fool. He could see Gu Yongnian's sincerity and Gurley's helpless choice.
As Ge Li left and Wen Qinghai appeared again, Zhao Kuangyu turned his attention to Gu Yongnian.
Is he angry? No, he was not angry, but was happy, because only now did he understand that Dayan actually had such a good official!
In the video, Wen Qinghai is always in a questioning state, while Gu Yongnian answers sincerely.
When Gu Yongnian was asked what he wanted to do, Zhao Kuangyu and Qu Zhongyi were shocked by Gu Yongnian's answer.
Qingjun side! This traitor is Qu Zhongyi... Unexpectedly, before that day came, Gu Yongnian actually broke out in advance. Could it be because of what happened in Northern Xinjiang today?
Everyone's first thought was that it was about the two memorials today. Otherwise, there would be no need for Gu Yongnian to sacrifice his life to bring down Qu Zhongyi...
"Master Gu, please accept my bow!" Ge Li bowed.
"Master Ge, what do you mean by this? Gu just doesn't want to be a slave of the subjugated country!" Gu Yongnian returned the greeting.
Zhao Kuangyu glanced at Gu Yongnian, whose face was covered in blood, and then at Qu Zhongyi. Yes, if he were Gu Yongnian, would he still give Qu Zhongyi hope?
"Master Gu, I..."
Before Wen Qinghai could finish his words, Gu Yongnian bowed deeply and said, "Gu behaves upright and is not afraid of being seen. If it weren't for Mr. Wen's little hobby, how could I, Gu, prove my innocence today?"
Hearing Gu Yongnian's words, Wen Qinghai smiled and quickly bowed in return.
Gu Yongnian was very aware of Wen Qinghai's little habits, and deliberately let Wen Qinghai watch the show in the side hall just to end up in today's situation. After all, the memorial in Zheyang County today was too weird. Who knew what would happen? Will Yu Hui be defeated as originally planned? Therefore, he can't wait any longer no matter what!
"Gu Aiqing, do you think Ge Sheng can really take on this important task?" Zhao Kuangyu asked.
"Your Majesty, this person is superior to the Guan brothers in both civil and military skills, and Ge Sheng is also a Jinshi. Even if something happens in the north, he will report it as soon as possible." Gu Yongnian replied respectfully.
"You should think about it for a moment, after all..."
Before Zhao Kuangyu could finish his words, Gu Yongnian knelt down and kowtowed: "Your Majesty, I have a plan that can not only eliminate your doubts, but also save my loss."
"Oh? Tell me quickly." Zhao Kuangyu no longer cared about Gu Yongnian's unreasonable interruption. He was curious about how Gu Yongnian knew his thoughts.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, you are considering Zheyang County. I wonder if I am right?"
Zhao Kuangyu said nothing, but nodded his head slightly. After all, what he was most worried about was that the Xu family would not be destroyed!
Gu Yongnian continued: "Since Ge Sheng has been sent as the commander-in-chief of the north, this person will definitely give your Majesty a satisfactory explanation. He can not only solve your Majesty's inner worries, but also take back the three cities of Nanfengzhou. By then, Zhejiang Province will Yang County can also be embezzled!"
Zhao Kuangyu's eyes lit up and he nodded with satisfaction. Although there was no mention of the Xu family, it revealed the meaning of Zheyang County.
"Okay, Gu Aiqing's words are so profound." Zhao Kuangyu said: "Draw up a decree to let the Guan brothers temporarily take over the position of commander-in-chief of the north. The army will stay where it is until the new commander-in-chief of the north takes over, and then we will make a decision!"
"Your Majesty is wise!" Gu Yongnian kowtowed.
"Your Majesty's Holy Might is my great blessing." Ge Li and Wen Qinghai kowtowed immediately.
They won, they just won Qu Zhongyi!
"My dear friends, please feel free to go back. Tomorrow, at the court meeting, I will let Ge Sheng take over as the commander-in-chief of the north."
Gu Yongnian and the others thanked him. They all knew that Qu Zhongyi was completely finished now.
After Gu Yongnian and the others left Qinzheng Hall, Emperor Zhao Kuangyu turned his eyes to Qu Zhongyi.
"Holy Jinshi? Are you loyal to me?" Zhao Kuangyu looked at Qu Zhongyi jokingly: "Zhongyi, although you are loyal to Gu, you are dispensable to Dayan..."
"Your Majesty, the guilty minister..."
"You don't need to say it, Gu knows." Zhao Kuangyu waved his hand and interrupted: "Don't worry, this position of prime minister will not be available again in the future. Gu also saved your face. This third rank is to give you the last dignity. I hope You can understand that even if you are a sycophant, you are still the only one chosen!"
After Zhao Kuangyu finished speaking, Qu Zhongyi was like an eggplant beaten by frost. After bowing slowly, he wandered away from the Qinzheng Hall...
Gu Mansion
Gu Yongnian raised his wine glass, bowed deeply to Gurley and Wen Qinghai and said, "My dear brothers, Gu has thanked both of you for what happened today."
"Mr. Gu, what you say is making my Ge family lose face. If it weren't for your recommendation, how could my brother become the commander-in-chief of the north?" Ge Li raised his wine glass and said.
"Brother Gu, you are so humble. I haven't thanked you for your kindness to me, Mr. Wen." Wen Qinghai raised his glass in return and said, "If you hadn't stood up in advance today, I'm afraid this song of loyalty would have continued. It brings trouble to Chao Gang."
"My dear friends, what you have said is serious. I, Gu, only hope that Great Yan can continue to prosper. After all, who wants to be a slave to the subjugation of the country!" Gu Yongnian said.
"Okay, today's matter is over. From now on, we will take Brother Gu's leadership as our guide. We also hope that Brother Gu will support you in the future!" Wen Qinghai said quickly.
"Okay, let's drink this cup together!" Gu Yongnian smiled and raised his cup to drink.
As the three of them chatted more and more, the topic finally opened up.
"Master Gu, don't you want to completely eliminate Qu Zhongyi?" Ge Li asked.
"It's not necessary." Gu Yongnian shook his head: "He is a sycophant, not a treacherous minister. As long as he no longer cares about the court's laws, this will be the prosperity of Great Yan."
"But Your Majesty still kept him in the end. Aren't you afraid that he will cause trouble for you?" Wen Qinghai asked.
"I, Gu Yongnian, am an upright person. If I make a mistake one day, without Qu Zhongyi looking for trouble, I will go to the Golden Palace to apologize with death!"
After hearing Gu Yongnian's words, Ge Li and Wen Qinghai quickly looked at each other. They really admired Gu Yongnian at this moment...
When Gu Yongnian saw the little actions of the two people, he laughed in his heart. He hoped that all Dayan would be such officials. After all, this would be very helpful for him to overthrow Dayan...
