"I ask the Emperor to allow me to lead eight hundred armored cavalrymen to attack the Yu people."
The fifteen-year-old boy Gu Fan, who had just graduated from the Military Academy this year, took part in the military examination and won the first place in the martial arts exam. He then asked Emperor Yanxing for eight hundred armored soldiers to conquer the Yu people.
"Gu Zhuangyuan is too arrogant. He wants to attack the Yu people with just 800 armored cavalrymen."
"That is, do you know the terrain of the Yu people? Do you know how many soldiers and horses the Yu people have?"
Gu Fan looked at the ministers firmly and said loudly, "I know that I lived in Sai County with my parents when I was young."
Everyone paused, and Sai County reminded them of the past.
Gu Fan's father, Gu Yuanqing, was once a brilliant man in Dajing.
A great scholar once said that Gu Yuanqing's literary skills can stabilize a country, and his military skills can stabilize a country.
He was the top scorer in the liberal arts examination in the first year of Yanxing, winning six prizes in a row.
But unfortunately, Gu Yuanqing's peach blossoms were too strong, and the peach blossom disaster also harmed him.
At that time, Emperor Yanxing was still a puppet emperor, and Gu Yuanqing, who was famous in the capital, became the dream lover of many wealthy ladies in the capital.
Among these noble ladies, there are also the empress dowager's biological sister and the daughters, granddaughters or sisters of the four great ministers.
Gu Yuanqing was originally the son of an official, the son of a fourth-rank prefect, and his ancestor was also a prime minister.
He is both talented in literature and martial arts, handsome, and has a good family background.
Even though Gu Yuanqing had already been engaged to his cousin, he would go back and get married as soon as he became the top scorer in the imperial examination.
But in the eyes of the powerful people in Beijing, they did not take this seriously.
Not to mention that an engagement can be broken off, even after getting married, one can still become a widow.
At the flower-viewing banquet hosted by the deposed empress dowager, the noble ladies used all their tricks and schemes for Gu Yuanqing.
They drugged, fell into the water, wrestled, and even quarreled over Gu Yuanqing, plotted against each other, and even fought.
Some were disfigured, some lost their reputation, and some were made to look ugly.
It’s hard to imagine that these are wealthy ladies.
But at that time, these self-proclaimed well-educated ladies were so obsessed with getting Gu Yuanqing that they lost all their manners.
After something like this happened, each family naturally kept silent about it, but the elders of the rich lady also had an extremely bad impression of Gu Yuanqing.
Such a troublesome man is not a good partner.
The deposed empress dowager and the four great ministers tacitly demoted Gu Yuanqing to a remote border town as a county magistrate.
Gu Yuanqing, who had a bright future, became the seventh-rank magistrate of Sai County.
His cousin also broke off the engagement because of this.
Gu Yuanqing went to Sai County, married and had children. He never took concubines in his life and had only one son, Gu Fan.
When Gu Fan was five years old, the Yu people invaded and burned, killed and looted in Sai County.
Gu Yuanqing and his wife died at that time, and Gu Fan was protected by servants and sent back to the capital.
This young man has been holding this hatred in his heart for many years, and has been studying and practicing hard every day just to kill the Yu people and avenge them.
Everyone in the court was silent.
Gu Yuanqing was indeed innocent of what happened back then. He won six prizes in a row and was a candidate for son-in-law that many court officials were optimistic about and wanted to win over.
In addition, Gu Yuanqing also has the principal teacher, who is highly regarded by great scholars. The Qingshan Academy where he is located is the cradle of dreams for literati and poets.
There is no false reputation under a great name, but the peach blossom disaster brought by great fame is also a great disaster in life.
At that time, these powerful officials returned home and mentioned Gu Yuanqing.
They were interested, and the daughters of the rich families were naturally even more interested, and they all regarded Gu Yuanqing as their future husband.
The glimpse of the top scholar parading through the streets touched the hearts of many young girls.
Even many families tried to find a son-in-law through the list, but no one succeeded because there were too many people.
At the flower viewing banquet, many noble ladies died or were injured. Even if Gu Yuanqing was innocent, these people were killed or injured because of him.
If Gu Yuanqing had not been valued by the headmaster and the great scholar behind him, he would have been assassinated long ago.
"I approve. Eight hundred armored cavalrymen are too few. I appoint you as a fifth-rank general of conquering the enemy and command three thousand armored cavalrymen to conquer the Yu people."
"I accept your order and thank you for your grace. I will never let you down."
Gu Fan kowtowed heavily.
In the harem, Bei Lingyao, who had just come out of training, became curious when she learned about Gu Fan's affairs.
The system gossiped: [What a pity for Gu Yuanqing.]
[This is a fate destined to have three calamities. The first calamity is the peach blossom calamity, the second calamity is the fiancée breaking off the engagement, and the third calamity is the death calamity.]
Bei Lingyao also sighed.
[The wife he married was plain-looking and the daughter of a military commander. Their son, Gu Fan, was not as pretty as Gu Yuanqing, but he was also very brave.]
[Do you have any images of Gu Yuanqing? Let me see.]
【It will be available after upgrading. 】
The system showed Bei Lingyao Gu Yuanqing's image. Bei Lingyao looked at Gu Yuanqing's peach blossom eyes and exclaimed, "Ah, the same peach blossom eyes as Emperor Jiahe, but younger and more handsome than Emperor Jiahe. However, he lacks the calm, domineering, and majestic demeanor of Emperor Jiahe."
When Bei Lingyao traveled through time and met Emperor Jiahe, Emperor Jiahe was 28 years old.
Gu Yuanqing won six prizes in a row at the age of eighteen. He is handsome and talented. No wonder he is sought after by so many rich ladies.
Mrs. Gu had an ordinary appearance. Her skin was a little dark because she grew up in the frontier, and she was tall and strong, which made her look a bit like a masculine girl.
Bei Lingyao is a bit tall now, about 1.7 meters, but she is not as tall and strong as Mrs. Gu.
Gu Yuanqing was probably frightened, so he married Mrs. Gu, who was an ordinary-looking woman.
However, although Gu Fan's appearance is not as good as Gu Yuanqing, he is not as mediocre as Mrs. Gu. He has a combination of his parents' looks and looks heroic and masculine. At the age of fifteen, he is already over 1.8 meters tall and very strong.
[A very outstanding young man. I suddenly have more confidence in Gu Fan's conquest of the Yu people.]
[The host is right. Gu Fan is the nemesis of the Yu people. He wiped out the Yu people and disappeared after that.]
Bei Lingyao flipped through the world memory again, and Gu Fan's fate was also very bumpy.
Without Bei Lingyao, there would naturally be no military academy.
Gu Fan joined the army at the age of fifteen and started as a private, but he was suppressed and even his military merits were taken away.
But in order to kill the Yu people and avenge himself, Gu Fan endured it.
However, he did not expect to be framed and kicked out of the barracks.
In anger, he killed the people who harmed him, fled to Sai County, and then infiltrated the Yu people.
With his own strength, he infiltrated the Yu people and destroyed them.
But in the end he was seriously injured and missing.
Bei Lingyao sighed. The father and son of the Gu family were both geniuses, but their fate was not good.
Compare it with Jiang Liangji. After being favored by the Mu family, Jiang Liangji's path became much smoother.
But that guy was still not satisfied and felt aggrieved.
This kind of man is truly a Phoenix man. He hooks up with a rich lady and promises to be together for life and not take concubines. However, after marrying the rich lady and getting strong support and becoming successful, he blames the rich lady for being jealous and not letting him take a concubine.
He hated his father-in-law's family for suppressing him and not letting him get ahead.
This is a treacherous villain who repays kindness with enmity.
One month later
In the imperial study, Emperor Yanxing was delighted: "Hahahahaha, good, good..."
