After listening to the eunuch who came to announce the decree, after reading the decree from Emperor Tianshun, which ordered Gu Zizhan to be escorted to Beijing immediately, at the same time, two other decrees were handed over to the crown prince and Lian Shi respectively.

These two edicts are both reprimands, but there is a clear distinction in attitude.The letter to the prince was better, after all, he left a bit of affection, and he only blamed him for his ignorance, women's benevolence, and unfairness, so he ordered the rebel army to be disbanded on the spot.As for Lian Shizhi's letter, the wording is much stricter.

To Lian Shizhi, the emperor reprimanded Lian Shizhi for being greedy and aggressive, and being unfavorable in controlling his subordinates, which caused the crown prince to be besieged by rebels, and the situation was dangerous; The investigation and careless underestimation of the enemy caused tens of thousands of rebels to sneak into the army, which almost caused a catastrophe; denounced great achievements, wasted money, and recruited rebels into the camp at will.

After receiving the two imperial edicts, the prince couldn't help but smile wryly after seeing the one for Lian Shizhi.In the end, old general Lian was implicated by him.In the final analysis, Emperor Tianshun's reprimand to Lian Shizhi was a lesson to the prince. After all, everyone knew that the prince was the one who should be responsible regardless of his merits and demerits, and Lian Shizhi was just suffering on his behalf.

The eunuch who passed the decree was Li Lianying, the godson of Li Ruoyu, the chief eunuch in charge of the palace. He was the eunuch accompanying the prince for a while when he was young.Therefore, Li Lianying has always been close to the East Palace, and treats the prince with respect and intimacy.After delivering the decree, Li Lianying asked the left and right to step back first, seeing that the crown prince didn't seem to shy away from Lian Shizhi, he stopped talking and bowed to the prince and Lian Shizhi respectively. Li Lianying said straight to the point: "Your Highness, Old General Lian , Your Majesty is really angry this time. I am afraid that he will be angry with both the Lian family and the Chu family."

Pointing to the outside, Li Lianying said with a wry smile: "No, the one who escorted the servants to pass the decree is that Pei Gong and General Pei."

Lian Shizhi was surprised, looked at the prince, and asked: "Isn't this Pei Gong dismissed by His Majesty because he offended His Highness Fu?"

The crown prince smiled slightly, "In His Majesty's opinion, it's not Uncle Fu who offended him, but the lonely cousin of the Chu family."

At this point, the prince raised his eyes to look at Lian Shizhi.Lian Shizhi thought about it for a while, and he remembered the cause and effect of that incident. After all, it had something to do with his Lian family.At that time, Lian Yong'an was transferred back to the capital by the Crown Prince's order of the East Palace, because it was Gu Che, the son of Ningling County Prince who had been resurrected from the dead.

Good guy, it's no wonder Li Lianying said that Emperor Tianshun was angry with both the Chu family and the Lian family.It turned out to be the truth!

Seeing that Lian Shizhi had understood, the prince smiled, thanked Li Lianying, and asked him to step down first.Li Lianying and his party bear the emperor's order, and they have to take Gu Zizhan away and rush back to the capital tomorrow. He has made it clear, knowing that the crown prince will not stop him, he feels more at ease.

And as for why Pei Gong didn't come to see the crown prince so late, it was because since he left the capital, he seemed to have diarrhea all the way because of the unacceptable water and soil.Li Lianying didn't like him because of the prince's relationship, so he let him toss half his life and just stood by.After finally arriving in Yunzhou City, Pei Gong's diarrhea became more and more serious. He was almost dehydrated and couldn't lie down or sit up. He was so embarrassed that he dared to embarrass himself in front of the crown prince.

After the prince knew about it, he originally planned to find a military doctor to show Pei Gong a look, and make a show of going through the motions, but was stopped by Gu Zizhan who was sitting with him.

The prince was a little puzzled.Because of the imperial decree, even he couldn't stop Pei Gong and Li Lianying from bringing Gu Zizhan back to the capital, but if he showed kindness to Pei Gong, Gu Zizhan could live a little more peacefully along the way, at least he wouldn't be too difficult.

Gu Zizhan naturally knew what the prince was thinking, smiled, and explained to him: "Pei Gong is a villain who bullies the weak and fears the hard, and he tried to take advantage of the situation to bully Lan'er before but failed, so he has formed a relationship with us. If Your Highness treats him like this Benevolence, he will definitely believe that His Highness wants something from him because of me, and I will become a bargaining chip for him to coerce and blackmail His Highness, and he will be even more unscrupulous when he treats him harshly."

Blinking, Gu Zizhan smiled maliciously. "So, to deal with this kind of person, not only can't you give him a military doctor, but His Highness has to issue a password to reprimand him for being vain, contemptuous of the East Palace, and ignorant of etiquette. , Your Highness benevolently changed the stick to thirty. Only in this way will he be afraid and just have no time to take care of me."

The prince looked at her, frowned and thought for a while, then nodded, "Well, the reasoning is that this is a good reasoning." Suddenly his expression changed, and he said with a teasing smile: "However, I think what Ah Che thinks about these thirty army sticks is actually Let's vent your anger on your Youer!"

Gu Zizhan didn't expect that such a small thought of his would be hit by the honest prince's words. He was not prepared at all, and his face immediately burned red.It was rare for the prince to see her embarrassed, and couldn't help laughing.Gu Zizhan scratched his head, seeing the prince laughing non-stop, his heart suddenly softened.It's been a long time since her elder brother had been so happy.It's a pity that this happiness may not last long.

Sure enough, soon, the prince stopped laughing.His eyes changed a few times, a look of sadness flashed past, and finally turned into a sigh again.

"Ugh--"

The crown prince's brows were stained with worry again, "I didn't expect that the father was finally caught by the villain's scheme as you had expected. He took you to the capital indiscriminately at this time, obviously out of fear of the so-called Ziwei Xingjun's rumors! It's hateful, the victory won by the flesh and blood of so many soldiers will be refuted as worthless!"

"I really don't understand. These rumors have been going on before. Why did the emperor disregard his face and choose to deal with you before the army returned to Beijing?"

Gu Zizhan saw that the prince was agitated and coughed again, so he hurriedly stepped forward to caress him on the back, and said calmly: "Your Majesty didn't take this matter seriously before because he thought it was a trivial matter compared to the great victory over the Rong clan. And it will not shake the foundation of the imperial court. And now choosing to deal with me at this time is nothing more than someone who has already taken the first step and exaggerated the rumors in His Majesty's ears, making His Majesty feel that my current influence in the northern border is a bit too great. "

"Whether it is to take me away from the northern border, or to reprimand you and the old general Lian to lead the army, it is all for the sake of making this big victory with the Rong people a sledgehammer. It should be like this. At that time Then use some fabricated evidence to prove that the so-called Ziwei Xingjun rumors were spread by me, and from this, the supernatural power in the Ziweixing Lord rumors can be completely wiped out from the source."

"It's just that this also wiped out the sacrifices of the people and the soldiers."

The prince was extremely angry, and said angrily: "Which villain came up with this trick! I will never let him go!"

Gu Zizhan smiled wryly, "The old enemy is Xing Kang."

The crown prince couldn't bear it any longer, and jumped up against the table and said: "Dog! His Xing family is full of wolf ambitions, this time, I will never let them go!"

Gu Zizhan nodded, but actually sighed in his heart.Xing Kang is just a mad dog, and Emperor Tianshun will never stop being on guard against her. Without Xing Kang, there will be other people who will see and use this to climb up.The root cause has never been in Xing Kang alone.Otherwise, how could she be easily convicted based on those unwarranted charges in Jiangbei's officialdom!

On the second day, Pei Gong, who had received [-] military sticks, was lying in the carriage. He was dragged down to half his life by unstoppable diarrhea, and now he was in a state of distress. There were bursts of cries of pain.

Li Lianying in the other carriage couldn't help laughing.This idiot, who thinks he is superior to others after receiving the emperor's order, dares to look down on them, the palace servants, really deserves to suffer.Thinking of the password that the crown prince gave Pei Gong yesterday, he couldn't help secretly applauding.Regardless of whether that idiot Pei Gong saw it or not, he did anyway. This time, the crown prince has almost made it clear that he wants to keep Gu Che.Therefore, along the way, relying on the height of the sky and the distance of the emperor, Pei Gong couldn't take care of himself, Li Lianying just put on a pair of loose shackles for Gu Zizhan, and then respectfully invited her into the carriage.

What a joke, Gu Zizhan has no grievances or enmities with him, and the crown prince also specially mentioned him, so why should he cause trouble for himself?

Gu Zizhan sat in the carriage, feeling the bumps under his body, recalling the previous conversation with the prince.Naturally, the Phoenix Nirvana Army and the Laughing Wind Battalion cannot be disbanded. Fortunately, they have been incorporated into the Dragoon Guards before, and now, most of them are also assigned to the northern states and counties to assist in the security of the people.Simply abolishing the name of the Rebel Army from now on, and directly calling it the Dragon Rider Guard's Xiaofeng Battalion and Dragon Rider Guard's Huang Nie Army Headquarters, it can be regarded as not refuting Emperor Tianshun's face on the face of it.

As for Xing Kang, as the prince said, it was time to get rid of him.It's just that the crown prince said that he had his own idea to deal with Xing Kang, which Gu Zizhan didn't expect.Thinking of Concubine Xing, who was due to give birth in half a month, Gu Zizhan also had some doubts, how would the crown prince deal with these two father and daughter?Will the mother go and the son stay?It's just that she doesn't quite believe that the benevolent prince will resort to such cruel methods.

Lifting the curtain of the car, Gu Zizhan looked at the scorching sun hanging high, and knocked on the wall of the carriage.

The carriage stopped slowly, and immediately, a tall, thin and bearded dragoon guard man lifted the curtain and asked impatiently, "What's the matter with you?"

Gu Zizhan was blinking his eyes and suppressing a smile.

After getting into the carriage, the man immediately changed his appearance. The big bearded man sat down relaxed next to Gu Zizhan, tapped her forehead, and asked softly, "What's the matter?" He called himself in four or five times in the morning No, I don't know where this person got so many trivial things.

Gu Zizhan moved closer to the other party's ear and whispered, "I miss you! Can't you?"

......

"No."
