Chapter 1145 Crazy Love
"Ah Qing, you already have the answer in your heart, don't you?"
It was obviously the first time that Wang Qi met the grown-up Gu Qingcheng, but the tone of his voice revealed familiarity.
It was as if the beautiful girl standing before him was not the white moonlight he had caught a glimpse of in his childhood, but someone he was very familiar with.
Wang Qi was not surprised by Gu Qingcheng's ugliness when she was young and her stunning beauty when she grew up.
You know, even Gu Qingcheng's parents and other close relatives were stunned by her "transformation" when they met her again after ten years.
The gap between before and after is really too big.
The mud on the ground suddenly turned into the moon in the sky, and the little clowns and monsters became stunningly beautiful... Anyone would be surprised, amazed, or even doubt it.
In other words, Gu Qingcheng's beauty was not achieved overnight, but changed day by day.
Otherwise, everyone in the Gu family would definitely be suspicious.
As for Wang Qi, he said that he loved the kind young lady who had helped him when he was young.
Since he loves her and since she is the white moonlight in his heart, he must remember her appearance and everything about her.
Well, leaving aside Gu Qingcheng's suspicion of Wang Qi's "heavy taste and strange vision", just based on Wang Qi's own words, the white moonlight that he had been thinking about for ten years suddenly became completely different from what he remembered, and he didn't have any doubts? So he accepted Gu Qingcheng's current beauty so easily?
They are so familiar with each other, there seems to be something wrong no matter how you look at it.
Sure enough, as soon as this guy opened his mouth, he also "agreed".
"So, you really are 'he'."
Gu Qingcheng looked at Wang Qi steadily, trying to find some clues from his eyes.
"If you say so, then it is!"
Wang Qi curled the corners of his lips and revealed an evil smile.
Gu Qingcheng: ... Damn, you’re sick!
Since this person was unwilling to tell the truth, Gu Qingcheng was too lazy to waste words with him.
"General Wang, are you really willing to serve me as your master?"
Gu Qingcheng collected his thoughts, raised his chin slightly, and revealed the dignity and dominance that a superior should have.
She did not dwell on any "old relationship", but instead put on the attitude of a big shot in the court and negotiated with Wang Qi.
Wang Qi was slightly surprised and seemed a little uncomfortable.
Gu Qingcheng’s aura was fully on display, and the majesty and strength of an empress spread instantly.
There was no emotion such as being touched or missing in her eyes, only the coldness of a superior.
"…What a heartless woman!"
Wang Qi complained secretly in his heart.
However, it was Gu Qingcheng's ruthlessness, indifference and arrogance that touched some people, including him.
For example, Wang Qi had a crazy idea -
He wanted to grow his own feelings in the heart of Gu Qing, this cold and arrogant woman.
Thinking of this, Wang Qi knelt down again without hesitation and said respectfully, "I, Wang Qi, am willing to follow my lord!"
If she wanted to become a queen who ruled the world and achieved unprecedented hegemony, he would fully support her.
Even if you can't completely impress her by being open-hearted, you should be able to win a place in her heart.
Wang Qi presented his 30,000-strong army and the imperial seal obtained from Chen Duan, but Wang Qi, who was only one step away from the throne, did not take another step.
He retreated willingly and stood behind Gu Qingcheng, respectfully serving a woman as his master.
…
In this way, Gu Qingcheng took Jiankang without losing a single soldier.
Occupying the capital, holding the imperial seal, and with an army of hundreds of thousands under her command, if Gu Qingcheng were not a woman, her rise to the top would have been so natural.
But Gu Qingcheng is a woman.
Not to mention the noble families and powerful people in Jiankang, even within the Gu family, strange voices began to be heard.
"Although Gu's Aqing is capable, she is still a woman after all."
"Yes, yes, the Gu family has put all their efforts into this, not just to help others."
"Lord You'an doesn't just have Aqing as his granddaughter, he also has several grandsons."
"Yes, Aqing has two brothers and several nephews."
In the eyes of these people, Gu Qing had worked hard for ten years to build the Gu family's empire.
Now that Nan Chao has really changed his surname to Gu, it should be a man from the Gu family who sits on that chair.
In order to take care of Gu Qing's emotions and the feelings of Gu Heng's branch, some members of the clan, claiming to be wise, proposed that Gu Qing's brothers and nephews be promoted to the position.
The throne still belongs to the legitimate line, and the emperor also has Gu Qing's closest relatives to sit on it, so Gu Qing and her relatives did not work in vain.
This not only takes into account etiquette, but also takes into account the personal feelings of the Gu family. The clan members feel that this is the best way to achieve the best of both worlds.
Gu Qingcheng: ...I heard you were talking nonsense! In fact, not to mention Gu Qingcheng, even the elders like Gu Heng and Gu Yi had never thought of letting other males in the family to seize the world that belonged to Aqing.
They knew very well that from the initial Lingnan, to the subsequent garrison of Jiangling, and to the current recovery of the capital...all was due to Aqing's efforts.
She has all the advantages except her gender.
Even gender is not necessarily a disadvantage.
Gu Heng and Gu Yi know their granddaughter (daughter) too well. She is definitely not an ordinary woman.
It's not at all like "girls are outgoing" as many people worry.
Even if love is involved, Aqing will definitely be the beneficiary.
For example, Chen Duan in the past, and Wang Qi now.
Especially Wang Qi, this madman who dared to kill the king in public, he stood in the court with a big knife in his hand.
He was the first to kneel down and shouted to Gu Qingcheng, "Long live His Majesty."
Wang Qi knelt, and some court officials who were afraid of being killed by Wang Qi, as well as Gu Yi and other members of the Gu family who supported Gu Qing's ascension to the throne, also knelt.
In the huge court, only some conservatives, or those who thought they were supporters of rites and laws, still stood proudly while saying "rites and music have collapsed" and "it is not decent".
Gu Qingcheng sat high up in the main seat, looking at those people, and was about to take action.
Wang Qi stood up first in an instant.
He directly drew out his machete and walked towards those stubborn old men step by step.
"What did you say? The hen crows at dawn?"
"Haha, you are a rooster, but other than clucking, what have you done for the world and the people?"
This time, Wang Qi didn't attack anyone directly.
Since it was about Aqing, he still maintained a certain amount of patience and was prepared to help Aqing publicize her great achievements.
True Achievements——
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"The horseshoe, a small piece of iron, has reduced the damage to our war horses by several times."
"Salt and sugar production are not only for the people's livelihood, but also increase taxes for the court."
"This miraculous anti-inflammatory drug has saved countless lives."
Wang Qi began to list everything Gu Qingcheng had done over the years.
It was not brought up in public, or announced publicly, so people didn't take it seriously.
They just knew that Gu's Aqing was powerful, a little girl who was more powerful than many young men.
But when Wang Qi listed them one by one, everyone suddenly realized: Gu's Aqing is so powerful?
"There is also Lingnan, which was originally a wild and smoky place, but the lord spent ten years to manage it and turned it into a paradise in the southern border."
Wang Qi did not forget Gu Qingcheng’s most important achievement—expanding territory.
Some people in later generations concluded that the Celestial Empire also has its own political correctness.
That is to expand territory.
As long as the king can do this, even if he has this or that shortcoming during his reign, he will still be a wise ruler and his name will go down in history.
Lingnan has indeed always been the land of the Celestial Empire, but due to various harsh conditions, it has never been developed or fully utilized.
In the eyes of many court officials and common people, it was still a barbaric place.
There are also some lands on the Lingnan border that have long been occupied by certain generals.
They declared themselves kings and broke away from the Celestial Empire.
After Gu Qingcheng went to Lingnan, while vigorously developing the area, he also took back all these territories.
For example, Jiaozhou is no longer Jiaozhi, but it is still Jiaozhou.
Just by taking back the territory and expanding the border, Gu Qingcheng is absolutely qualified to reach the top.
Some old stubborn people: ...
This is indeed an indelible achievement of Gu Aqing.
But no matter how powerful she is, she is still a woman!
"So what if you are a woman? The Lord has done something that all of you grown men have failed to do. Don't you feel ashamed? Instead, you are still finding fault with the Lord?"
"You're also suggesting that the Lord 'give way to the wise'? What wise man are you giving way to? A wise man who just has two more pounds of meat on his head but has accomplished nothing?"
Wang Qi directly put the blade of the machete against the neck of a certain old stubborn man.
He was talking in a lively manner while exerting a little effort.
Sizzle! The blade was too sharp. With just a slight touch, the skin on the neck was cut and blood oozed out.
“…”
The old stubborn man was so frightened that he turned pale and trembled.
If he hadn't still had some "guts" left and was able to barely control his bladder, he would have probably peed himself on the spot out of fear.
"You guys, are you cheap?"
"As the patriarch of the Gu family, Lord You'an fully supports Gu Qing. What are you, a bunch of irrelevant outsiders, complaining about here?"
"Why, do you have to use this method to show your integrity and uprightness?"
Wang Qi bent down slightly, leaned close to the old stubborn man's ear, and cursed him with disdain.
He really looked down on these useless people who were only good at talking.
When the Northern Dynasty's cavalry approached Jiangling, these people were so frightened that the only thing they could do was "negotiate peace."
The only thing that is tough is his mouth.
If they can't protect the country and the people, they can only speak rotten and smelly nonsense.
Wang Qi looked down on these people and would not give them any face.
The old stubborn man was frightened and angry, and his thin body was shaking violently.
"Want to die? Want to leave a good name of a loyal minister in the history books?"
"I can help you!"
After Wang Qi finished speaking, he was ready to take action.
He was a man who dared to kill even the "emperor" in public, and was destined to be infamous for all eternity.
Now it's just a matter of killing a few stubborn and conservative old guys. He doesn't feel any pressure or guilt at all.
Besides, it was he who went crazy and killed people, not the woman who sat in a high position.
She was pushed onto the throne by treacherous ministers, not by killing innocent people and seizing the throne herself.
Her reputation will not be tainted by any stain...
