Quick Wear: Saving the Heroine Isn’t Too Easy!

"Yawn~"

Gu Xici hid behind and yawned, secretly looked at the ministers next to him, and when he found that no one noticed, he covered his mouth and yawned again.

"It's really outrageous. I didn't expect these bandits to be so arrogant that they dared to assassinate important officials of our dynasty. General Gu, don't worry. I believe that these bandits will be arrested by Governor Lin in a few days."

In the court, the emperor sat on the dragon throne and was mad, seemingly angry about the assassination of Gu Xici.

"Your Majesty, there were two groups of assassins who tried to kill General Gu. The identities of the assassins could not be just ordinary bandits. The weapons used by the two groups of assassins were very sharp, and some of them looked like exotic weapons."

Minister Wen heard that the emperor did not agree with the handling of the matter. As a minister and Gu Xici's father-in-law, he should find out the identity of the assassin. General Gu is very important to the Zhou Kingdom. As long as General Gu and the Black Armor Army are there, the enemy countries and the border Huns dare not easily invade the Zhou Kingdom.

"I think Minister Wen is right."

I didn't bother to stand up and agree.

"I second the proposal."

With the leadership of Minister Wen and Gu Bu Shang, everyone including Minister Wen's civil officials and Gu Bu Shang's military generals agreed.

"Of course, the matter of the assassin must be handed over to Lord Lin, who is in charge of public security, for investigation. Lord Lin is the capital's public security officer appointed by my father. If you are not satisfied with Lord Lin's ability, do you not trust Lord Lin or do you not trust my father's decision?"

The fifth prince Xiao Ren gritted his teeth as he looked at the officials of Wen Shangshu's faction. Wen Shangshu was supposed to be on his side, but Gu Xici took advantage of him. If he continued the investigation, he would be implicated sooner or later. This matter must be closed like this, and judging from his father's attitude, he did not want to continue the investigation.

"I don't dare."

All the ministers rejected the Fifth Prince's accusation of not trusting the Emperor, but they did not back down. If the assassin dared to assassinate General Gu today, he might also assassinate them. The mastermind behind the scenes must pay the price.

"Okay, I know what you are thinking, but the envoys from Chu are in my Zhou State. If this matter gets out of hand, it will make other countries laugh at it. What do you think, Lord Gu?"

The emperor already knew who was behind this, but he chose to keep it secret.

The assassins were sent by the fifth prince. If the truth is found out, the royal family will be criticized for assassinating a meritorious general. Moreover, the Gu family has the military power of the Black Armor Army. If they use this as a pretext to rebel, it will be justified and legitimate.

Even if the Gu family are loyal ministers, they will be disheartened. If this matter is taken advantage of by villains, it will cause unnecessary trouble to the royal family or the Zhou Kingdom.

Another group of assassins were sent by the State of Chu. He took advantage of this to deal with all the assassins in the secret village of the State of Chu, but he couldn't let anyone know that they were assassins sent by the State of Chu. If the ministers knew about this, Minister Wen, Gu Bu and some people who claimed to be loyal or honest officials would advise to put the envoys and princess of the State of Chu in jail and behead them in autumn.

At that time, there will definitely be a war between Chu and Zhou, and Gu Xici will be the final winner of this war.

"Your Majesty is wise, yawn~"

Gu Xici hurriedly stopped herself from yawning. It seemed that the emperor had decided to let the matter go, and she couldn't go against the emperor. A man of insight is a wise man. As for the mastermind behind the scenes, let them be arrogant for a while.

And she used this incident to set up a trap. I can let this matter go, but I want benefits.

"It seems that the assassination last night kept General Gu awake all night. If I were assassinated, I would be like General Gu. These gangsters are so hateful."

The Sixth Prince stood up, tilted his head slightly to look at Gu Xici, and made a gesture, "Watch me."

"These bandits are like locusts, they can never be driven away or killed. Whenever I think of these arrogant bandits, I can't sleep at night. I believe other ministers are also a little scared like me."

"Of course, this is not to doubt the ability of Lin Fuyin, but Lin Fuyin is only one person, so it is inevitable that there will be mistakes."

"It just so happens that these bandits have offended General Gu. Why not let General Gu and Prefect Lin work together to maintain the law and order of the capital."

The Sixth Prince bowed deeply to the Emperor, with his butt facing the Fifth Prince Xiao Ren. Someone has lost more than he gained, and he is probably gritting his teeth and eager to stand up.

"Oh? Sixth brother, do you think that Lin Fuyin is incapable of maintaining the law and order in the capital? Besides Lin Fuyin, there are other officials such as Zhao Duwei. Gu Xici, a big man in the army, doesn't know how to maintain law and order. Father, I think that sixth brother is too childish."

The fifth prince Xiao Ren stepped forward to stop him and said that Gu Xici must not be allowed to have power in the capital, otherwise his next plan would be difficult to execute.

"Tsk, Fifth Brother, didn't you see that General Gu didn't sleep all night last night? If General Gu doesn't deal with these bandits personally, I'm afraid that General Gu, as the victim, will be as listless as he is today in the next few days."

"Thinking of General Gu's contributions to our Zhou Kingdom and his talents, I'm afraid that the position of Weiwei is not worthy of General Gu."

After the Sixth Prince finished speaking, he returned to his original position. He had already planted the seeds, and now it was time for them to blossom and bear fruit.

"What the Sixth Prince just said is what this old minister wanted to say."

An old minister under the Sixth Prince said.

"I second the proposal."

Thinking of Gu Xici's brilliant performance in the duel with the Chu warriors yesterday and his stunning arrow shot, the ministers who had no hostile relationship with Gu Xici all believed that Gu Xici was qualified for the position of Weiwei.

"My dear Queen Gu didn't get enough rest because of the assassin incident, and you guys are keeping her busy. I can't bear the thought of you being so cruel."

As the Emperor of Zhou, he knew Gu Xici's talent, which was why he had been hesitating whether to kill Gu Xici or keep him. He was reluctant to kill him, but he was afraid not to kill him, so how could he give the position of Weiwei to Gu Xici now?

"Your Majesty, I think there is no need to rush to deal with the assassination of General Gu in the capital. As long as General Gu leaves the capital and returns to the northern border, the assassin who wants to assassinate General Gu again will leave the capital. In this way, there will be no assassin in the capital, and General Gu in the northern border will not have to worry about the protection of the Black Armored Army."

A wise but foolish minister said.

Gu Xici looked at him with strange eyes. Could he really be a genius? Isn't he the Fifth Prince Xiao Ren's man? Could he be in the Fifth Camp but his heart is in the Sixth Camp? Originally, the matter of the Weiwei post had to be discussed with the emperor for three days and three nights. After he said this, the emperor wanted to keep her in the capital, so the Weiwei post had to be given to him.

"Hahahaha, I couldn't wait to send someone to Northern Frontier shortly after General Gu got married. I'm not that cruel."

The emperor was joking, but in his heart he cursed this foolish minister. He had to be demoted.

"Gu Aiqing, what do you think?"

The emperor threw the football to Gu Xici and tested him at the same time.

"Your Majesty, I want to return to Northern Frontier. Your Majesty is kind and I want to bring my wife to Northern Frontier as well. I don't want to be separated from Aning. But if I do that, my grandfather will be alone in the capital. Your Majesty is very kind and I beg you to allow me to bring my grandfather to Northern Frontier as well so that I can fulfill my filial duty."

Of course, it was impossible for Gu Xici to return to Northern Frontier, and the emperor would not let her go back to Northern Frontier. If he did not say so, with the emperor's shamelessness, he would not even be able to touch the hair of the Weiwei.

"Cough cough cough."

The emperor didn't expect Gu Xici to give such a shameless answer. He was just like him, why didn't you just say that you moved the entire Gu Mansion away.

The Sixth Prince looked at Gu Xici with admiration. What a great guy! It turns out that he still has a lot to learn.
