Chapter 938 I am the White Moonlight (I)
In times of war, many heroes emerge.
Those in power recruit and select counselors, and counselors also examine and evaluate their lords.
If they find that their lord is not reliable enough, they will immediately select another capable one.
Well, in the past hundred years or so, dynasties have changed, kings are no longer kings, ministers are no longer ministers, people's hearts are no longer as they used to be, and rituals and music have collapsed.
The counselors also have their own set of rhetoric: choose a good tree to rest on.
In Zhou Shao's opinion, Chen Duan was a little too proud of himself, arrogant and confused.
He would rather choose a dead fish eye than a pearl. He is such a fool and I really don't want to follow him.
Moreover, Zhou Shao and others had another advantage: their choice of the daughter of the Gu family did not count as a betrayal.
The daughter of the Gu family is the queen, and assisting her is Chen Duan’s own order.
These advisers and deputy generals were just "following orders."
As for Chen Duan's subsequent decree, well, there must have been some treacherous people at work who deceived the emperor.
As your Majesty's confidants, they must punish the treacherous and corrupt officials and clear the court of corrupt officials!
Uh, okay, those are all excuses.
However, there is a plausible reason, so Zhou Shao and others can join Gu Qingcheng's sect without feeling guilty.
Of course, before changing their words to "Lord", Zhou Shao and others must make clear Gu Qingcheng's attitude -
What if, they mean what if, ha, the lady really has deep feelings for Chen, and is willing to compromise for him and give up the position of queen? Although it seems unlikely that Chen Duan was flattered to death, Zhou Shao and others have seen clearly in the past three months: the lady of the Gu family is definitely not a little woman who indulges in petty love.
Although she is a girl, she has the ambition to conquer the world! "… Let's go and test the queen's attitude first!"
Zhou Shao silently put the letter away, found an excuse, and sent Chen Duan's messenger away.
He stood up and went to the king's tent.
At the door of the tent, Zhou Shao met several colleagues.
Everyone: ...
“What a coincidence!”
"Haha, Sima is here too?"
“…”
"Together! Together!"
A few people exchanged greetings awkwardly, and then asked to meet him together.
"You're welcome!"
Ah Man and the other maids bowed and invited the people into the tent.
After entering the king's tent, Zhou Shao and others felt an aura that could not be ignored.
They quietly raised their eyelids and looked around inconspicuously.
In the main seat, Gu Qingcheng sat upright with a gloomy face.
Her appearance was still stunning, but her aura seemed different from before.
She is like a sword drawn from its sheath, sharp and imposing.
Zhou Shao and the others exchanged glances silently - there is a way!
"Greetings, Lady!"
Zhou Shao and others bowed in greeting.
Gu Qingcheng said calmly: "No need to be polite, gentlemen!"
After everyone was seated, Gu Qingcheng raised the letter in her hand and went straight to the point: "Today, I received a letter from His Highness!"
Zhou Shao and the others were all shocked. Here it comes! The main point of the drama is here! "His Highness has ascended the throne, and the reign is named Kaiyuan."
Kaiyuan? To explain the ultimate truth of heaven, to create all things in Kaiyuan.
This is the rhythm of becoming the founding emperor.
Choosing "Kaiyuan" as the reign title shows Chen Duan's ambition.
Gu Qingcheng secretly complained in her heart, but her face remained stern.
She continued, "Your Highness wants to make Wang's daughter the queen!"
Zhou Shao and others: ...So what?
What do you think? They just wanted to know Gu Qingcheng's attitude.
Bang! Gu Qingcheng slammed the letter paper on the table.
She said coldly, "Although your highness and I have not officially married, we have already made an engagement."
The ancients valued promises.
Even in the present time when people's hearts are no longer as pure as before and rituals and music are in decline, we still have to follow certain rules.
If even an engagement could be easily broken, the world would be in real chaos.
"Because of this marriage, I, a girl from the boudoir, am finally able to show my face in public."
"...I thought we were a couple working together for a great cause, but I never expected that Chen would let me down to this extent!"
When Gu Qingcheng said this, there was obvious grief and anger in her tone.
There was even a faint cry in her voice, "I treated Chen with all my heart, but Chen treated me so contemptuously!"
"I, I can give up everything for my friendship with the Chen family, but my family name and my family will not allow me to do anything that would bring disgrace upon the family!"
"I am a daughter of the Wujun Gu family. There is no reason for me to be someone's concubine!"
"Today, in front of all of you, I, Gu's Aqing, announce that my engagement with Chen is hereby annulled!"
"From now on, Chen and I will have nothing to do with each other, whether we get married or not."
Zhou Shao and the others all exhaled: ...Great! Lady, oh no, it's the Lord who is not trapped by love! Haha, she is still the hero who cares about the world.
"You are all family members. You have seen everything that happened between me and Chen."
"I have never let the Chen family down. However, the Chen family let me down first, and then humiliated my Gu family. I really can't stand it."
"Jiangling, Heyin and other cities were conquered by me and the others with concerted efforts. They have nothing to do with the Chen family—"
Therefore, all these territories and the troops in the military camps belong to her, Gu Qingcheng.
Zhou Shao quickly straightened up and said, "My lord, what you said makes sense!"
Other counselors and lieutenants: ...villain! You only know how to flatter.
He actually recognized the lord before them.
Cursing in their hearts, everyone expressed their opinions one after another——
"My Lord! Sima is right!"
"My lord, you are right!"
Chen Duan's several advisers and deputy generals actually all sided with Gu Qingcheng.
Jiang Chi thought thoughtfully: Well, it turns out that none of them is a fool.
The daughter of the Gu family was born into a noble family with strong family power. She was also rich and had "magic weapons". Between her and the Chen family, she was in the right.
Once they become enemies, people will mostly blame Chen Duan instead of blaming the girl.
What's more, if Gu took the opportunity to "start a rebellion" as a woman, people would not be too harsh on her.
Alas, Gu didn’t want to be the empress from the beginning.
She wanted to be the queen, but Chen wouldn't allow it.
This person was bullied so badly that he was furious. That's why -
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"Chen Duan made a bad move!"
Jiang Chi shook his head secretly: What on earth was he thinking, letting a noble lady from a prominent family become his concubine?
Despite being so outrageous, it seems that no matter what the Gu family does, they can get the approval of people all over the world.
There must be a reason why Chen Duan had such a delusion.
For example, some people deliberately praise others to death!
Jiang Chi glanced at the woman sitting at the top, who was first sad and then indignant. She sang and recited well, naturally and passionately... She was a natural born politician.
With such a heart and such a ruthless hand, I really did not make the wrong choice.
Huoshui: ...Your Majesty! He slandered you!
Gu Qingcheng: ...This is the highest compliment, okay?
…
After gaining the support of Zhou Shao and others, Gu Qingcheng officially announced to the world—
The engagement between Gu and Chen was officially cancelled! Jiangling and other places were also officially included in Gu's territory.
Gu Yi and others took a proud attitude of "refusing to be humiliated" and issued a denunciation to Chen Duan.
Gu Yi was a writer, and Gu Heng was the world-famous Lord You'an.
The Gu family has deep roots and flourishing branches in Jiankang.
Even though I've been away for nearly ten years, I still have many relatives and old friends.
In addition, because of the interest connection of jointly developing Lingnan, those relatives and old friends have already boarded the big ship of the Gu family.
Before there was Emperor Chen Jing, everyone still had concerns.
Now, Chen Jing was forced to abdicate, Chen Duan ascended the throne, the capital was in turmoil, and the foundation of the Chen family began to become unstable.
The noble families in Jiankang had the Gu family as the vanguard. The key was that the Gu family was in the right, so all the other families followed suit.
For a time, Chen Duan, who thought he had secured his position in Jiankang, was unexpectedly caught in a crisis of being attacked from all sides.
Of course, Chen Duan is not really a fool.
He realized that he had made a stupid move, and had forced his deeply loyal fiancée to turn against him. While he was feeling remorseful, he also tried desperately to save her.
Since the feud with Gu is inevitable, let's continue to cooperate with Wang.
He was indeed from a commoner family, but he had soldiers under his command.
Those noble families are just stubborn and do nothing but talk nonsense.
Once Chen Duan allowed tens of thousands of troops into the city, they were all frightened into silence.
"Humph, they are all just good at talking!"
Chen Duan was satisfied only when there were no more voices of "condemnation" in the capital.
"...It's such a pity, Aqing!"
So beautiful, so pure, she is truly sincere to herself.
Unfortunately, he forgot that Aqing was not alone, but had the entire Gu Group behind her.
Even if Aqing is willing to endure for him, the entire Gu family will not agree.
"Don't worry, Ah Qing, I will find a way."
The person he loved was Gu Qing, the young girl with both talent and beauty.
He married Wang's daughter only to consolidate his power, which was not his real wish.
As long as he achieves great things in the future, he will ask to marry Ah Qing again! As for Gu Qingcheng taking the opportunity to occupy Jiangling and other places and taking those soldiers under his command, Chen Duan did not have any resentment.
"After all, I still owe you, Aqing!"
These can be considered as compensation to Aqing.
Huoshui: ... Damn, who is the love-brained one?
Or was it that the Majesty's acting skills were so superb that Chen Duan had believed that the Majesty was an infatuated woman until this moment? In Chen Duan's opinion, the Majesty's falling out was just due to the pressure from the family? Gu Qingcheng sneered, "What do you know? Maybe to Chen Duan, I am just a fool that he can summon at will with just a few words of coaxing."
"Come to think of it, I even gave him horseshoes and hot air balloons. I must have regarded him as a god I could rely on."
"I have now occupied Jiangling and other places, swallowed up his troops, and taken in his advisers and other confidants, but I am only keeping them temporarily."
"As long as there is an opportunity in the future, and he begs me for the throne, I will give him all the people, soldiers and territory!"
They didn’t lose money at all!
Huoshui: "What a nice thought!"
What on earth is this brain made of?
"Your Majesty, Chen Duan is nothing to be afraid of!"
There is really nothing to be afraid of as Chen Duan is a person who can be easily tricked by Your Majesty.
The difficulty of clearing this world seems to have been reduced.
"Or, let's do a mission!"
Go and have some fun in this small world, maybe you’ll find some “surprises”.
Gu Qingcheng raised an eyebrow, "Well, it's not impossible!"
In this world, she seemed to occupy only a small Jiangling.
But, the significance is great, because she finally stopped relying on others and instead raised her own banner.
"Okay, let's do a mission!"
