Chapter 11 Making a Bet

"The person who asked me to come to you is a monk."

Gu You was stunned. He didn't know any monk.

Maybe this kid didn't want to tell him, so he made up a random person to trick him.

"Do you agree or not?" Yunyang was a little impatient.

He didn't understand why the Heavenly Monk thought that the old man with disheveled hair and a ghostly appearance was the number one choice to lead the troops in the war.

Gu You also lost his temper and sat cross-legged on the ground: "I won't agree."

"I'm just going to stay here and not go anywhere."

Yunyang said: "Your son is in my hands."

Gu You: "?"

"You would have forgotten that I have a son if you don't remind me." He said with a cold face, not buying it.

What is a son?For so many years, that kid didn't say anything about coming to see him.

From what Huai Zhun said, it seemed that he had even entered the Jinyi Guards.

I am a general, but my son has become a spy. It would be embarrassing to tell anyone.

Yunyang thought for a while: "I can give you money."

This condition is obviously more tempting than the son.

Gu You's eyes lit up, like a cat suddenly opening its eyes in the dark: "How much?"

..................................................................

When Yunyang walked out after talking to Gu You, Gu Xiaoba was still arguing with Huai Zhun.

Huai Zhun was so angry that he blew his beard and stared.

But there were so many jailors in the Penal Department Prison that no one could catch him.

Yunyang's face was as cold as ice: "Let's go."

Gu Xiaoba was having a good time, when he saw him coming out, he restrained himself from being naughty, and obediently followed him.

Huaizhun wants to settle accounts with Yunyang.

But Yunyang spoke first: "Tomorrow morning, I will recommend Gu You as the main general to quell the chaos at the border. I hope you can help me."

"..."

Huaizhun paused, forced himself to retract his anger, and snorted: "Why should I help you?"

"You can choose for yourself whether to help or not." Yunyang said nothing, took Gu Xiaoba and left.

A jailer wanted to stop him, but Huai Zhun blocked him: "Let them go."

The two of them got out of the prison of the Ministry of Punishment unimpeded.

Gu Xiaoba followed, always feeling something strange.

"My lord?" he called tentatively.

Yunyang turned his head, his eyes so cold that they seemed to be frozen.

He was already terrifying when he wasn't smiling, but now he is even more terrifying, as if hell is creeping up to claim his life: "The money your father wants from me today will all be deducted from your future salary."

"...?"

Gu Xiaoba asked anxiously: "How much does he want from you?"

Yunyang's face darkened: "Based on your salary, you have to work in Jinyiwei for 500 years without eating or drinking to pay off the money your father asked from me."

Gu Xiaoba: "..."

..................................................................

Going to court the next day was pretty much what Yunyang expected. The border pass had been handed to Xie Qingyun.

Xie Qingyun's pressure was very low. She held the fold in her hand and looked down at the ministers: "Who elected the general here?"

No one answered.

"The Ministry of War." Xie Qingyun said impatiently: "Answer."

Wei Su, the Minister of the Ministry of War, had no choice but to bite the bullet and said, "Your Majesty, it is... Mr. Li Muli from the Ministry of Personnel."

Li Mu was the former Minister of Civil Affairs, but he was killed by Xie Qingyun a few years ago.

Dead without proof.

Xie Qingyun sneered: "Okay, okay."

Dare to play tricks on her.

"If you can't give me a new general candidate today, I will kill you all." Xie Qingyun's voice was smooth.

As soon as she said this, all the ministers of His Royal Highness bowed their heads to the ground, and there was no sound for a while.

The emperor's anger was no small matter.

Especially this emperor is Xie Qingyun.

No one she said she wanted to kill would live to see the sun tomorrow.

The ministers looked at their noses with their eyes, and their noses looked at their hearts, wishing they could plunge their heads into the ground.The Imperial Master Huicheng went to court for the first time today and experienced the emperor's anger.

He sat at the lower left of Xie Qingyun and couldn't help but recite Buddhist scriptures in a low voice.

He didn't understand state affairs, but he had seen Xie Qingyun's anger.

dare not speak.

There was dead silence in the hall.

In this dead silence, Yunyang stood up.

"Your Majesty, the Minister of Punishment, Huai Zhun, has a candidate to recommend."

Huai Zhun: "?"

He wanted to say that he didn't, but the low atmosphere made him unable to speak.

If the emperor felt that he was playing tricks on her, it would not be a trivial matter for an unhappy person to drag her out and behead her.

"minister……"

Huai Zhun gritted his teeth and said: "I am brave enough to recommend Gu You as a general to lead the troops to conquer the border."

Gu You?

who is it?

When the officials heard this name, they were all stunned.

Yunyang said: "Your Majesty, Gu You is the general of the Cavalry who was imprisoned for embezzling military pay more than ten years ago. He is still in the sky prison."

"Although he is charged with a serious crime, his ability to lead troops is obvious to all. I hope that His Majesty can disregard past suspicions and re-activate this person."

Gu You...

Xie Qingyun sat on the dragon chair and thought for a long time before she remembered who Gu You was.

He was the guarding general when her father was still alive.

She still remembered that every time there was a war, Gu You would constantly find various excuses to ask Zhezi and his father for money, and ask for a lot of money.

The war was always won, but in the end the entire national treasury was unable to make ends meet.

She and her royal brother were very worried, so they went to ask their father.

Father said it was okay, but Gu You was saving money for them.

Sure enough, within a few years, when Gu You returned to the capital, his father confiscated his house.

The originally empty treasury was immediately filled to the brim.

It's just that it's been so long since the Gu family was confiscated, but the old man hasn't died in the prison yet?

Xie Qingyun frowned.

Her frown made all the courtiers feel excited.

Gu You was a minister of the late emperor.

And the last thing your Majesty hears today is the name of the late emperor.

Every time I heard it before, I wouldn't stop until I saw blood.

Fortunately, Xie Qingyun's frown quickly spread out again.

There was no change, it was still calm, and even the anger just now had subsided a lot.

"Okay." Xie Qingyun said.

"I can let Gu You lead the troops."

"But he is a prisoner after all. If I just release him like this, won't he be accused by the people of not abiding by the law?" Xie Qingyun was a little distressed.

She glanced at the ministers who were kneeling on the ground and said, "Well, all of you who agree with Gu You's leadership of the army, please raise your heads."

"If you don't agree, then submit a new candidate to me."

"Let me see how many people support Gu You." Xie Qingyun smiled harmlessly.

The emperor raised a question and forced the ministers to make a choice.

For most people, it is undoubtedly safer to choose Gu You than to recommend a new person.

Little did they know, Xie Qingyun had dug a hole and was waiting for them to jump in.

She watched quietly, and when the number of people looking up was almost the same, she said, "Okay, it's you."

"Runliu, write down everyone."

Xie Qingyun had a joke on her face: "You were the ones who were silent just now, and now you are the ones drifting with the crowd."

"Since you are so opinionated, I will make a bet with you."

She was excited to find a new game: "I will gamble with your lives."

"If you take care of Yousheng, you will live."

"If Gu You is defeated, you will die."

 Xie Qingyun: I will kill you all!
