Chapter 327: Sadomasochism (Thirty-two)
No one knows about the worry about the disaster, and no one cares.
Gu Qingcheng continued to work non-stop.
She brought Huo Wuniang to be the commander and handed over the 500 soldiers to her.
Then, Gu Qingcheng began to visit all the boys and girls on the polo field that day according to the list.
"Li Si, I'm going to Xizhou. Do you want to come with me?"
The first person Gu Qingcheng visited was one of the instigators of that day.
Li Silang: ...
Ninth Prince, you are not mistaken.
Wei Jiulang and I are in the same group.
Ugh!
No, his personal relationship with Wei Jiulang is just average.
The reason why he got together with him was that they had a common purpose - to find trouble with the Ninth Prince! Wei Jiulang disliked the Ninth Prince because of the grudges in his previous life.
As for Li Silang, it was because of the interests of his family.
His aunt is Consort Xian, and the eldest prince is his cousin.
The Ninth Prince rose to power, and the First Prince was naturally threatened.
The two are destined enemies. As a relative of the eldest prince, Li Silang naturally becomes a pawn.
"You and I both know the truth about the polo field incident."
"Your Majesty is wise and does not want to disappoint the people of the world for the sake of his beloved son, so he punished me to go to Xizhou."
"Xizhou is great, the sky is high and the land is vast, and outside the city is Xirong."
"We are all good men of the Qing Dynasty, Li Si, don't you want to make achievements? Rely on your military achievements to get a title for your wife and children?"
As a professional politician, Gu Qingcheng finds it very easy to paint a big picture.
She also did not forget to secretly remind Li Si, "You are just Silang in the family!"
If he is not the eldest son, his teeth will not be at the front.
Because of his family background, most of the family’s resources would not be allocated to him.
The reason why Li Silang became a pawn is because he is "dispensable".
But, they are all sons of the Li family, and Li Si has also been practicing riding and archery since he was a child.
He also has great ambitions in his heart.
As a man of integrity, Li Si also has the dream of becoming a marquis soon.
The Qing Dynasty valued martial arts, and military exploits were the most important.
However, the Qing Dynasty had limited territory and it was impossible to wage war year after year.
There were so many nobles and aristocratic families in the Qing Dynasty.
The eldest son of every family may not have the opportunity to go to the battlefield, let alone a younger son like Li Si? Even if he had to take his turn, Li Si would be fourth!
But now, there is an opportunity to go to Xizhou.
As a descendant of the royal family, the Ninth Prince might dislike the bitter cold of Xizhou, but for a noble family like Li Si who is obsessed with making achievements, it is the best place to show off! Li Si was moved.
As for the hostile relationship between the Li family and the Ninth Prince——
Ha! You are kidding.
The Li family has more than one virtuous concubine.
The reason why aristocratic families have been able to pass down for hundreds of years is because of the bets placed by many parties.
Li Si is destined to become a side branch, and letting a side branch to do something unpopular is a perfectly normal operation.
Besides, the Ninth Prince might not be a cold stove! Gu Qingcheng saw Li Si's expression changing and knew that he was moved.
She delivered the final blow, "On the polo field, you and I were both involved! I am a prince, but His Majesty has punished me to go to Xizhou. What about you?"
He was just a minister, but he didn't receive any punishment. He continued to be a "dandy" in the capital like nothing happened? Was that appropriate?
Aren't you afraid at all?
The royal family has never been one to repay evil with kindness!
Emperor Qing cannot take care of it now, but when he wants to deal with the Li family in the future, Li Si’s mistakes will be a ready-made handle.
Li Si was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat: WTF! He hadn't even thought of this! "Your Highness, Li Si is willing to go to Xizhou with you!"
Li Si didn't bother to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead. He straightened his back and spoke in a loud voice.
…
After leaving the Li family, Gu Qingcheng went to several other families.
She even didn't let go of the little girls who helped her play ball.
What? It's not good for girls to show their faces outside? Haha, you are all noble ladies of the Qing Dynasty. Why don't you remember the rules when you are being tough?
Not to mention, there was also Huo Wuniang, the pioneer, standing there—
"Your Highness, are you really letting Huo Wu lead the troops?"
A young noble lady, who was also the daughter of a military commander, held a whip in her hand, her eyes full of longing.
"Of course! Wu Niang is a daughter of a general, skilled in riding and shooting, and outstanding in martial arts."
Gu Qingcheng said it as a matter of course. She also mentioned her own weaknesses without any hesitation, "I can't do it. Riding a horse, leading troops, everything is mediocre."
"Professional matters should be left to professionals."
The young lady seemed to have suddenly thought of something, and the light in her eyes dimmed a little, "But, but Huo Wu is a girl!"
"So what if I'm a woman? Women are just as good as men!"
Gu Qingcheng seemed to be the incarnation of a "friend of women". "Not to mention the previous dynasty, even in my Qing Dynasty, there was a princess who had outstanding military exploits and a great reputation."
Gu Qingcheng is not talking nonsense.
The Qing royal family really has such an awesome person.
She is the eldest daughter of Taizu. When Taizu started his rebellion, Princess Zhenguo led the private soldiers she recruited to help expand the territory and rushed to help Taizu when he was besieged.
It is no exaggeration to say that both Tai and Zu had the idea of enthroning a crown princess, which shows how outstanding this eldest princess was.
It was the eldest princess who took into consideration the relationship between the siblings and for the sake of the stability of the Qing Dynasty, so she took the initiative to make concessions.
However, this eldest princess still left a very resounding reputation in the Qing Dynasty and even in the Three Kingdoms.
Decades have passed, and some people still think of that legendary woman who was brave and good at fighting.
"The Princess of the State?"
The young lady opened her mouth wide, and her eyes sparkled with light again.
Yes, there is such a remarkable woman in their Qing Dynasty.
But, "She is a royal lady! She is the eldest daughter of the great ancestor!"
As founding emperors, Taizu had the capital to be willful, both in terms of their achievements and pioneering spirit.
The woman he values is also his beloved daughter, a true gift from heaven.
Compared to the eldest princess, these little girls are nothing.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"So what? You are no ordinary people."
Gu Qingcheng's eyes were full of encouragement. "Can you ride and shoot? Have you studied the art of war?"
"Let's not talk about that anymore. You guys are better than ordinary men even at playing polo!"
Little Lady: ...Yes, yes! At least he is better than the Ninth Prince who looks like a beauty lamp in front of him!
If the Ninth Prince can go to Xizhou, why can’t these little girls like them?
Besides, we still have Huo Wuniang!
Damn it, let's go for it! When you are young, if you don't act recklessly, you seem to be doing yourself a disservice.
"Okay! I'll go!"
Gu Qingcheng's tricks had stirred up nearly half of the powerful people in Beijing.
We must be thankful that the customs of the people in this era are truly open.
The martial spirit of the Qing Dynasty was truly prevalent.
Gu Qingcheng was so clever that she used the title of Princess Zhenguo to bring out a group of female soldiers!
Although their parents and families were a little surprised that women were leading troops to fight, they actually agreed after considering it.
He transferred some manpower from his own troops, and also filled the ranks with the maids and strong women that his daughter used to employ, as well as his own food, fodder, and weapons.
By the time Emperor Qing learned the news, most of the capital city had become bustling.
There were even rumors that the children of the powerful and wealthy were going to Xizhou to gild their reputations.
Well, this statement is not wrong.
But, it is quite different from Emperor Qing’s original idea.
He originally just wanted to secretly add sand, but the Ninth Prince's efforts turned it into the well-known "Gilded Group".
It's gilded so be it, there's actually a damn woman inside!
This, this, are you sure you are not kidding?
Emperor Qing began to have a bad feeling, wondering if his beloved son would cause even bigger trouble.
However, things have come to this point, and Emperor Qing is worried that he cannot withdraw.
He also needs to learn from the practices of the parents of the young noble ladies and young gentlemen and prepare more supplies for the Ninth Prince.
What a loss! Originally, I wanted the Ninth Prince to go to Xizhou to rob things!
Unexpectedly, those who had not yet set out had already lost people, food, money, etc.
At this time, Emperor Qing had not thought of it yet.
After a few days, he discovered that the imperial court had become particularly active in supplying food, fodder, military pay, etc. to Xizhou.
Huoshui picks his nose: ...How can I not be proactive!
Her Majesty the Queen of Heaven has pulled the sons of all the major families onto her chariot.
The chief officers of the six ministries have "hostages" in Xizhou.
Gu Qingcheng embarked on the journey with a large group of troops and a group of noble boys and girls who were clamoring to gain military merits.
"Your Highness, are you sure you want to take a carriage?"
The eunuch that Concubine Dong stuffed to Gu Qingcheng had twitching corners of his mouth and eyes.
He looked at the young men riding their horses in front of him, and then looked at his weak little master. He really didn't know what to say.
"Of course we have to take a carriage! The capital is more than a thousand miles away from Xizhou."
Gu Qingcheng looked as if it was a matter of course.
It seemed as if she didn't even recognize the word "shame".
Not to mention a horse-drawn carriage, if it weren't for everyone's strong opposition, she would have wanted to get a more comfortable ox cart.
"Yes! Let's take a carriage."
Huo Wuniang rode her beloved horse and galloped around. When she came back, she smiled and said, "It's more than a thousand miles. The slowest distance is 40 to 50 miles a day. Jiulang can't hold on!"
Anyway, there was no war in Xizhou, and they were not going for emergency rescue, so there was no need to rush.
Besides, everyone knows how weak the Ninth Prince is.
Even if he took a carriage, others would not care too much.
The Ninth Prince even lived off his wife so gloriously that everyone knew his "bottom line".
Ahem, there is no bottom line! No matter how sarcastic or pointed, if the other party doesn't care, the person doing it will lose interest.
Eunuch: ...What the princess said makes so much sense that I am speechless.
Gu Qingcheng got on the carriage as she wished and set off comfortably.
It really looked like they were out for fun.
Horse racing, hunting, and occasional barbecues and dinners are simply too pleasant.
Gu Qingcheng looked at the group of carefree teenagers and a faint smile appeared on her lips.
Huoshui: ...Shit! Don't laugh like that, it's scary! It feels like the villain is plotting something again!
