The first poisonous scholar in Daxia, starting from the abdication of the prime minister

Chapter 458: Dethronement and Enthronement! Ancient Prime Minister!

Gu Jingzhi held a long sword at his waist and a spear in his hand.

Following behind him were Lin Feng and Lin Chong's two sons. Gu Huanzhi was leading a horse, and behind him were his two sons and Gu Yunzhi's eldest son.

Behind him were the guards from the Ningguo Mansion.

Liu Sandao, who gave up martial arts to pursue literature, is now wearing armor and carrying a long sword on his waist.

Chen Yu, Gu Yunzhi and other female members of the Gu family were waiting on the side with drinks in their hands. When she saw Gu Jingzhi coming, she tried hard not to cry.

He just took the wine jar from Gu Yunzhi's hand and filled all the bowls on the table.

"I am here to send you off!"

Chen Yu was holding a bowl of wine, his eyes a little red.

As his wife, he knew how dangerous this time was, but she didn't dare to say anything to keep him.

Gu Jingzhi looked at his wife, tenderness flashed in his eyes, and said, "I promise you, I will only do this one last time!"

Chen Yu bowed gracefully, "I will be waiting for my husband at home, awaiting his triumphant return!"

……

outside the city.

Gu Jingzhi narrowed his eyes and looked down.

Hundreds of thousands of troops were stationed in front, and ten thousand soldiers from the Shenji Camp and one hundred thousand troops were on full alert.

A rider came out from the direction of the enemy, pulling a tied man behind him. It was Zhou Quan.

Zhou Quan looked at Gu Jingzhi on the warhorse with shame, without saying a word.

Nangong Shouyi said in a loud voice with a cold face: "Gu Jingzhi, your emperor has fallen into the hands of my Beili people. I ask you one last time, will you surrender or not?"

Gu Jingzhi watched coldly, then drew out his sword and swung it forward.

"call out!"

The long sword cut through the sky, making a sharp sound, and landed squarely at Zhou Quan's feet!

"Zhou Quan, you are the emperor of Great Xia. If you still consider that you are a descendant of the Zhou family, and you commit suicide today, I, Gu Jingzhi, will remember that we were once teacher and student and will drive out the foreign invaders and ensure that you will not lose your Great Xia kingdom!"

Gu Jingzhi didn't even look at Nangong Shouyi, but instead said some cold words to Zhou Quan.

As soon as these words were spoken, the soldiers of both armies standing in front of the battle formation all held their breath. Qiao Shuwan on the city wall even put her hand on her chest, as if all her strength had been drained away.

Zhou Quan also couldn't believe that Gu Jingzhi actually wanted him to commit suicide.

He stared blankly at the Great Xia Dragon Bird, his eyes full of struggle. He had thought about this scene today, but he didn't expect that it would make him commit suicide!

Gu Jingzhi looked at Zhou Quan who had been motionless and couldn't help feeling disappointed.

However, he did not try to persuade her any further. Instead, he urged his horse on, looked at the army behind him, and roared, "Soldiers, the capture of the emperor is a misfortune for our Great Xia, but this is not the fault of the soldiers, nor is it the fault of the people of the world!"

"The enemy has now reached our doorstep. If you lose heart just because the emperor was captured, I want to tell you that this is just the beginning!"

"If you don't fight today, tomorrow you will see your wives, children and elders suffering humiliation under the enemy's swords!"

"My family, Gu Jingzhi, is also in the city, so today I am holding my spear and fighting the enemy to the death!"

"Today I ask you one question. If I, Gu Jingzhi, were to be the vanguard, would you dare to accompany me through mountains of swords and seas of fire, and fight him in and out seven times?"

A wave of sorrow surged in the hearts of the Great Xia army soldiers, but then they roared, "We dare to fight!"

"kill!"

"kill!"

The Daxia army did not move, but the Beili coalition forces began to attack Gu Jingzhi.

Gu Jingzhi raised his spear high and roared, "Daxia will win!"

This roar was like an order to start a war, and the soldiers of the Shenji Camp fired their cannons.

"Boom boom boom!"

A hundred cannons roared.

What followed was countless rockets (arrows tied with gunpowder) flying into the air with a "whoosh" sound!

"Boom!"

Artillery shells and rockets fell into the center of the enemy's formation. After a huge roar, countless enemy soldiers were blown into pieces and frightened horses fled in all directions.

The enemy soldiers, not knowing what was going on, seemed to be frightened and huddled together in groups of three or five.

Nangong Shouyi looked at this scene in disbelief, but found that the more people clung together, the more miserable their death would be.

The cannon fired the second round, the third round... and kept firing.

Nangong Shouyi ignored Zhou Quan and continued to yell at his men, "Quick, quickly disperse..."

However, his voice was drowned out by the sound of artillery shells!

The Beili coalition forces continued to charge forward. Some people were frightened and wanted to escape, and some war horses were frightened and ran around in panic. For a while, many people were trampled underfoot.

But the artillery fire from Daxia still did not stop.

Shells fired from one hundred artillery pieces continuously fell on the enemy's formation, while rockets were clearing away the remnants in an orderly manner. The battlefield was in chaos, and many enemy soldiers were already lying on the ground, not daring to move.

This way, they avoided the artillery attack, but the Beili coalition forces were in chaos and were trampled into a pile of flesh and blood.

After bombarding for about half an hour, the hundreds of thousands of coalition forces in Beili were in complete chaos. Gu Jingzhi saw that many cannons were at the edge of their limit, so he stopped the artillery attack and raised his spear instead.

"Charge!"

……

The battle under the city, including the pursuit, lasted for three days and three nights!

Hundreds of thousands of Beili troops were caught off guard by the artillery fire, and in the end Gu Jingzhi led an army of 100,000 to charge, and Beili was defeated again.

Nangong Shouyi committed suicide while pursuing his fugitive.

After the first battle, Gu Jingzhi mobilized troops from various places to clear out the remaining enemy forces in various parts of Daxia, and only then did he have time to return to the capital.

After three days and three nights without rest, he was extremely tired.

Carrying the Great Xia Dragon Bird in his hand, his armor covered in dried blood, he arrived at the palace.

Before he saw Zhou Quan, he saw Qiao Shuwan and Ye Junyao first. Qiao Shuwan looked at him with a complicated look, and finally left with a sigh.

Ye Junyao bit her lower lip lightly. She was wearing a bright red phoenix robe, looking extremely bright and gorgeous.

"What's wrong with the Queen?"

"This, this palace..."

Ye Junyao spoke timidly, but seeing that Gu Jingzhi still had a cold expression on his face, she gritted her teeth and untied the belt on her phoenix robe, revealing her exquisite body to Gu Jingzhi's eyes.

"I only pray that Duke Ningguo can bypass His Majesty!"

Her voice was low, her face flushed, she looked shy and humiliated, making people want to hold her in their arms and ravage her.

However, Gu Jingzhi simply said coldly, "Is an emperor who has to live in humiliation by using his own queen's body the good emperor that Daxia needs?"

The humiliation on Ye Junyao's face became even more intense. She took two steps forward, trembling visibly.

Gu Jingzhi looked at the woman and said softly, "This is not your fault!"

As he spoke, he walked around Ye Junyao, pushed open the door of Yangju Palace, and strode in.

Zhou Quan looked very decadent, with messy hair, untidy clothes, and a hint of drunkenness.

Seeing the unsheathed Great Xia Dragon Bird once again landing at his feet, he smiled dejectedly: "Teacher, you still won't let me go?"

Gu Jingzhi was silent.

"I have served three generations of emperors of Daxia, and experienced two generations of wise rulers. You don't trust me, and your father doesn't trust me either. Although he doesn't trust me, he can still be considered a wise ruler after all!"

"In other words, in the teacher's eyes, I am a tyrant!"

"What else? The current situation has proven everything. You are just an incompetent monarch who is living off the imperial power and sucking blood."

Gu Jingzhi said without disguising anything, "Your father doesn't trust me, but he's worthy of Da Xia, so I give in to him! You don't trust me, but if you don't act recklessly, I can still tolerate you!"

"But you absolutely shouldn't have used the lives of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and millions of civilians as bargaining chips!"

"Since you've done it, you have to admit it!"

"I told you that day on the battlefield: if you commit suicide and die to preserve the reputation of Great Xia, I will still send you off with the ceremony of a king and ensure the prosperity of your Great Xia!"

"But you're scared to death!"

"Even at this moment, you let your queen bear this humiliation for you. You overestimate yourself and underestimate your teacher!"

"hehe!"

Zhou Quan smiled bitterly, then raised his head and asked, "Teacher, you want that position, right?"

Gu Jingzhi didn't answer, but his eyes became more and more disappointed.

Zhou Quan saw that Gu Jingzhi had no interest in paying attention to him, and his face was ashen. He held the wine glass, trembling endlessly.

"Ah……"

He raised his head, drank the wine in the cup in one gulp, and finally raised his sword...

Blood spilled everywhere.

Gu Jingzhi then spoke silently.

"I just said that you underestimated me. Daxia is still Daxia. Your death does not mean there will be no one to inherit! You should thank your royal grandfather. He saved my life and protected me through the initial difficulties. How could I, Gu Jingzhi, seize his inheritance?"

After muttering something, Gu Jingzhi put away his sword, then turned around and saw Ye Junyao, whose phoenix robe was slightly open and who looked bright and shy. He just glanced at her and then left!

……

The next day.

Gu Jingzhi submitted a memorial requesting the abolition of the title of Emperor Zhou Quan and the enthronement of Emperor Wen's second son Zhou Ning as emperor. He also demanded that the evil concubine Cong be executed and that Wei Zhen and other criminal ministers be severely punished.

Qiao Shuwan sighed a little.

He didn't expect that his husband and son would be toyed with like this by the two women of the Cong family.

No one dared to object to Gu Jingzhi's dominance. After all, it was his first time to wear a long sword in the palace. Although he was the Great Xia Dragon Bird of Emperor Taizu, it also showed that Gu Jingzhi would never give in this time.

Qiao Shuwan agreed to depose the emperor and establish a new one, and Zhou Ning appointed Gu Jingzhi as his uncle.

Wei Xuan, the chief minister of the cabinet, also felt deeply incompetent as the chief minister because of the disaster that happened to Da Xia, and finally resigned from the court and retired. Gu Jingzhi conferred the title of chief minister on him, but declined the title of regent proposed by Qiao Shuwan, and instead conferred the title of Prince of Ning!

Having resolved its internal and external troubles, Daxia once again regained its former territory.

Zhou Ning followed Gu Jingzhi and learned how to govern the country, and this study lasted for ten years.

During these ten years, Gu Jingzhi did not give up power easily, nor did he deliberately suppress Zhou Ning. This emperor, whom he supported, did not have as many thoughts as his father and brother.

Perhaps it was because Emperor Wen had never thought of letting him succeed to the throne, so his teachings were always on how to become a wise king rather than an emperor.

Zhou Ning, who had not been corrupted by the art of emperorship, met Gu Jingzhi's criteria for a suitable successor.

In ten years, Daxia developed rapidly. It not only stabilized the border situation, but also vigorously developed the national strength and people's livelihood. Zhou Ning followed him and tried his best to absorb Gu Jingzhi's way of governing the country.

As the prosperous era was approaching, the 28-year-old Zhou Ning finally got Gu Jingzhi's recognition.

After returning power, Gu Jingzhi gradually attended court less and less to govern the country.

Everyone thought that Gu Jingzhi was about to rule the world, but he gave up his power, which shocked even the countries in the world.

However, they also sincerely admired Gu Jingzhi's noble character, and even the emperors of various countries could not help but admire him.

Gu Jingzhi is worthy of being called a saint of our time.

Zhou Ning repeatedly claimed in the court that Gu Jingzhi was a prime minister of all ages.

Although Daxia had abolished the position of prime minister long ago, Zhou Ning's words were engraved in history books.

A prime minister of all ages, his name will be remembered forever!
