"General, you can't do that. Your body was given by your parents, how can you destroy it?"
The guards still stopped Gu Fan.
Gu Fan thought of his father, paused, and retracted the dagger.
He is different from his father.
When my father was alive, the emperor was young and the imperial power was not in his hands.
Now that the emperor holds great power and is a wise ruler, he will be luckier than his father.
With this mentality, Gu Fan went all the way to Beijing.
The streets were lined with common people, while the daughters of wealthy families and ladies of noble families were in the private rooms on the second and third floors.
Although Gu Fan's reputation was badly damaged, everyone was more curious about whether Gu Fan was extremely ugly and could stop children from crying at night.
At this time, the Crown Prince and Princess Fengyang were also in a private room on the second floor.
"Brother Emperor, the army is coming."
Princess Fengyang looked towards the road with bright eyes.
Gu Fan returned to the capital, but he could only bring 500 armored cavalrymen with him.
The Crown Prince and Princess Fengyang were both very excited.
"That's the iron armor made by our mother. It looks so majestic when worn. My royal brother, I want to wear one too."
The prince nodded, "I want to wear it too."
As Gu Fan and other soldiers got closer, all eyes fell on Gu Fan.
The young man was extraordinary and brave, and he stood out among all the soldiers.
"Wow!" Someone in the crowd exclaimed, and everyone else followed suit.
"General Gu Fan is so tall. He looks like he could be taller than my father."
As soon as Princess Fengyang finished speaking, the Crown Prince raised his chin and said, "I will be taller than General Gu Fan in the future."
"I can do that, too."
Princess Fengyang also followed up with a sentence.
Bei Lingyao curled the corners of her mouth. This couple usually acted calm and dignified in front of outsiders, but they were very childish when they were together in private.
"Who on earth spread the rumor that General Gu Fan was incredibly ugly? Ahhhh, I've already agreed to my father's engagement with my aunt's second cousin."
"I'm engaged too."
…
During this period, when Gu Fan was on his way back to Beijing, many wealthy ladies and ladies from prominent families in the capital had gotten engaged.
Although they all felt that Gu Fan did not have the charm of his father Gu Yuanqing, the court officials did not dare to bet on that possibility.
After all, Gu Yuanqing did nothing, but he caused a group of rich girls to fight with each other and frame each other.
What if Gu Fan also has such characteristics?
So, to be on the safe side, the court officials spread the rumor that Gu Fan was ugly and vicious, and hurriedly arranged marriages for their daughters and granddaughters.
Some of those who are getting engaged will feel regretful, but some will also feel unhappy.
The girls who like handsome men are unhappy and feel they have missed out.
At this time, they also realized their parents' intentions.
Gu Fan and other soldiers headed towards the palace, carrying flowers, ribbons, handkerchiefs, purses, and sachets.
Before this, the Crown Prince and Princess Fengyang had already returned to the palace.
Emperor Yanxing asked the crown prince to bring all the civil and military officials to the palace gate to welcome Gu Fan.
Emperor Yanxing was very happy to see Gu Fan. He patted Gu Fan on the shoulder and said to Xiu Fu, "Announce the decree."
At the age of seventeen, Gu Fan became the youngest third-rank escort cavalry general in Dajing.
"I accept your command and thank you."
Gu Fan was very excited. Not only was his grandfather promoted, his father was posthumously awarded a title, his mother was granted an imperial edict, and he also became a third-rank escort cavalry general.
The most important thing is that revenge has been taken.
Gu Fan's eyes were moist and slightly red.
"I will give you three months of leave. Go back and pay respects to your parents and accompany your grandfather. After that, I have an important task for you."
Gu Fan immediately accepted the order.
After the celebration banquet, Gu Fan’s marriage also became a hot topic.
Some even wanted Emperor Yanxing to grant them marriages, but were dismissed by him.
Although he was the emperor and could match people up with just an imperial decree, he would not do such a thing.
Gu Fan also declined many court officials on the grounds that he was too old and had not yet defeated foreign enemies, so how could he afford to raise a family?
After he left the palace, he rode directly back home.
The soldiers who followed him into battle were also rewarded according to their merits.
Everyone got leave from Emperor Yanxing, and they said goodbye one after another, returning home in glory to worship their ancestors.
Three months later, Gu Fan returned and Emperor Yanxing sent him to the northeast to plan to use military force against Dongyang State.
Emperor Yanxing had long lost his patience with the Dongyang Kingdom's actions in Dajing.
Gu Fan's extermination of the Yu people gave him great confidence.
However, Emperor Yanxing also knew that Dajing was going to mobilize troops against Dongyang State, or that it was a plan to destroy the country.
It doesn't happen overnight.
Weapons, equipment, food, etc. must be prepared in advance.
Before the army moves, food and fodder must be sent ahead.
Dajing also has to guard against the Western Jin Kingdom and other surrounding countries.
If it was just the Western Jin Kingdom, Da Jing would not be afraid and would also consider the possibility of destroying the Western Jin Kingdom as well.
But if other countries get involved, it will be difficult to deal with.
Therefore, Emperor Yanxing had to take all aspects into consideration and make sufficient preparations and precautions.
Bei Lingyao in the harem handed over the power of the palace to Princess Fengyang for training, and spent more time on cultivation.
After ending this world, she and the system will return to the Ziyun Secret Realm. Before that, she must raise her cultivation to the twelfth level of Qi Refining before she can build a foundation in the Ziyun Secret Realm.
Building a foundation requires a large amount of spiritual energy, which is obviously not enough in this world.
Building a foundation in space will bring about thunder tribulation, and even the system will not easily withstand it.
It would be most appropriate to return to the Ziyun Secret Realm.
[Host, you don't want to have children anymore? ]
[Sheng, the third princess is over one year old and is pregnant at the right time.]
That night, Emperor Yanxing came over, and after fighting all night, Bei Lingyao took another fertility pill.
More than a month later, Emperor Yanxing learned that Bei Lingyao was pregnant again. While he was happy, he quickly asked Xiufu to invite Imperial Physician Xie.
Now they have six children, three sons and three daughters. Each child is smart and cute, and Emperor Yanxing likes them all very much.
But although the queen looks young, she is already in her thirties.
Emperor Yanxing looked worried, "It was because of the strong waves that day."
He regretted it very much. Ever since the birth of the third princess, Emperor Yanxing would drink contraceptive soup beforehand, but he had been busy recently and had no plans to stay overnight.
I went to have dinner and was about to return to the imperial study when Bei Lingyao came to me.
It was rare for Bei Lingyao to take the initiative, and Emperor Yanxing was very excited and couldn't resist the temptation at all.
Now that the child was born, he quickly took a rest and read the maternity handbook again.
These maternity manuals were all published in the Good News Times. Bei Lingyao had them compiled into books and put them on sale.
But any pregnant woman can go to the Good News Times and buy a pregnancy handbook for a penny.
Emperor Yanxing read the precautions repeatedly, especially the page about elderly pregnant women and postpartum women, which he read most carefully.
Bei Lingyao was speechless. She had never seen Emperor Yanxing so eager to memorize the maternity handbook before.
"Your Majesty, do you think I am old?"
Emperor Yanxing, who was memorizing the maternity manual, immediately raised his head and said, "How could that be? The Empress looks much younger than I."
Bei Lingyao is five years older than Emperor Yanxing, and the two have never mentioned the issue of age.
But now that Bei Lingyao mentioned it, Emperor Yanxing immediately felt that his behavior had made the Queen sensitive.
The maternity handbook says that women are most sensitive when they are pregnant.
