Chapter 139 Asking for a Reward for Gu Chen

The Song brothers settled the case of their parents, and returned to the capital together with Xuanyue Yanyu on the same day, accompanied by Song Li.

After the imperial envoy came to Qiushui Town, there were rumors and rumors in the town, saying everything.These days, the little girl knew that her mother was the murderer who killed her aunt, and the two elder brothers were sold by their parents?
The young girl was so ashamed that when she saw the two elder brothers, she could only watch from a distance with tears in her eyes.

If it was in the past, she would have rushed forward to hug the two elder brothers.

Although the Song brothers sympathized with their cousin, but their lingering hatred was hard to get rid of, it was extremely tolerant to beg Yan Yu to take in their cousin.

"Brother, shall we stop seeing our cousin in the future?"

"Baolin, if one day we can stand on our own and forget the hatred of our uncle and aunt, maybe we can reunite with our cousin, but I guess it will take many years!"

"Brother, I don't want my cousin to suffer..."

"The girl treats the children in the Girls' Hall very well, so don't worry! Let's take care of her in private, and my cousin's life will never be sad."

All the past is prologue!

The Song brothers let go of their hatred, Song Baoqi and Li Ze followed Mr. Xiao to prepare for the Spring Festival, and Bai Ming often went to the house to discuss articles with Mr. Xiao.

On this day, Xuan Yue excitedly came to look for Yan Yu. Seeing Yan Yu, he happily raised the rice paper in his hand and said, "Yu'er, guess what I got?"

What could it be?It has been nearly a month since I received any letter from Slan, so it must be from His Highness the Fourth Highness.

"The letter from His Royal Highness? How is it? Xuanyue, what did His Royal Highness say?"

"Take a look for yourself! Can you rest assured this time?"

Yan Yu hurriedly took the letter, her eyes were blurred with tears and she couldn't see the handwriting in front of her eyes. Regardless of her image, she wiped her tears with her sleeve, threw herself into Xuan Yue's arms, and said with a half cry and a smile: "Xuan Yue, from the front line The soldiers are safe and sound, right?"

Yes!In this extremely cold winter, the frontline soldiers did not suffer from typhoid fever, had no worries about food and clothing, and had no worries about military supplies. They worked together to fight against the enemy.

As of the day when His Royal Highness wrote the letter, most of Slan's elite troops had already surrendered to His Highness the Regent. The soldiers of Da Zhan took advantage of the extremely cold weather to pour water around the barracks. The moment the water poured into the ground, it froze into ice. War horses cannot walk on ice.

Pan Gong was so angry that he launched a total of three attacks and retreated without fighting.The hearts of the people in Sri Lanka were scattered, and the border guards surrendered directly. His Royal Highness the Regent has led an army to capture the royal court.

However, His Royal Highness said at the end of the letter: Ban Gong’s whereabouts are unknown, and his soldiers who did not surrender turned into bandits and set fires everywhere. There is no peace in Sri Lanka, and Kuzhen also needs to be rebuilt. His Royal Highness will have to wait for the border to return to peace before returning to Beijing!

Nothing in the dream happened, and the Fourth Highness was safe and sound, so my cousin could finally feel at ease.

"The fourth brother also brought back Bai Qin's letter. I have sent someone to send it to the Bai Mansion. The fourth brother's letter has been sent to Bai Zhen."

Yan Yu is always busy and hasn't been to the Girls' Hall for a few days.

She said: "Xuan Yue, I want to visit the children and my cousin, will you go with me?"

If Yan Yu mentioned children on weekdays, Xuan Yue would always joke about how many children he would have in the future, but now he doesn't mention children anymore.

"I'll ask Shan Qing to accompany you. The letter from the fourth brother means that the palace must have received the memorial. I'll go inquire and see what the emperor's uncle has planned."

The two separated in front of the county lord's mansion, one went south and the other went north.

Ever since Lord Zhen Guo arrived in Silan, Gu Chen has become more confident and strategic. Lord Zhen Guo really did as the emperor wished, assisting Gu Chen wholeheartedly!Gu Chen's growth into a general of a country was beyond the emperor's expectations.Since receiving the latest memorial, the emperor has not spoken for a long time since he leaned on the throne.

He didn't expect much from the eldest prince and the second prince, and he never considered giving them the throne, let alone Gu Chen.

Xuanyue has no interest in the throne of the emperor at all, he looks at Xuanyue's recent actions, it seems that he wants to push Gu Chen to the throne.

Apart from being weaker, Gu Chen would be a good choice if he ascended to the throne in the future.

The emperor is in the prime of his life, and it is easy to support Gu Chen in his position.But when he thought of Gu Chen's mother, after so many years, the emperor was still angry.

He leaned over and wrote two characters on the rice paper, namely "Chen" and "Chen", staring at the two characters for a long time!
"Uncle Huang!" Yuan Zhong's nephew called him again outside the imperial study, and he took a memorial and covered the rice paper.With a smile on his face again, he calmly waited for Xuan Yue.

"Uncle Huang, what's the matter? I said that the fourth brother is brave and good at fighting, so he can become a general! A person like the fourth brother can make achievements no matter where he is."

"In such a small-scale war, besides, he seldom goes to the battlefield with real swords and guns. How can he use the words brave and good at fighting?"

"Uncle Huang, if you go to the battlefield with real swords and guns, it is the worst policy! How many people can win a complete victory without bloodshed like the fourth brother? Tell me, can this be true? Do you look like a general?"

"Just talk about it! Every time your fourth brother has a memorial, you enter the palace! Why did you come this time?"

The last time I won the reward of not interfering with the marriage for Gu Chen, why did I come this time?

"Uncle Huang, my nephew actually wanted to hear you praise my fourth brother. He is so capable. If you praised him in front of the ministers, you would probably be ashamed. But we are our own family, and you can't praise him too much? You say yes?"

The emperor was about to be laughed at by him. He had already used such exaggerated words to praise Gu Chen, and he still wanted the emperor to continue to praise him?
"It's been more than a month since Chen'er wrote the memorial. I don't know if the civil strife in Sri Lanka has been quelled. I thought, I don't need him to do the rebuilding of the Kuzhen garrison. If Linlang gets married in March, if he is called back to the capital as soon as possible how?"

This matter is of course good, but the army has not returned, so it cannot be rewarded based on merit. If Gu Chen returns to the capital early, then the credit will be given to Duke Zheng Zhenguo by Uncle Huang?

This is a big deal, and he can't be tolerated haha!
"If the fourth brother returns to the capital, it will be a good thing for us brothers to marry Lin Lang together! But, Uncle Huang, how do you plan to reward the fourth brother for his great achievements?"

"Xuan Yue, you have overstepped this matter. I know this matter well, you should go back first. We are about to get married, so put more thought into the wedding."

"Uncle Emperor..."

"Go on! I have my own plan, don't worry, I will never treat Chen'er badly!"

He is His Majesty, the prime minister can put a boat in his belly, and he can let go of the past even more.After this incident, it is not difficult to treat Gu Chen as the eldest prince and the second prince.

But really, as Xuan Yue expected, it's too early to make Gu Chen the heir apparent!
Although he didn't want to see the eldest prince and the second prince, if he became emperor towards Gu Chen, there was no guarantee that he would not regain his old hatred and could not tolerate the two princes. This was something he would never want to see.

Xuan Yue couldn't get the expected answer, and left angrily!
