General's humble stand-in

When the new emperor came to the throne, there is a record in the history books: The state of Jing was in danger, and when the emperor was sick, the sons rebelled, the second prince assassinated the first emperor, and the fourth prince murdered the imperial concubine and her two children. In the catastrophe, the people are safe.

The second prince and the fourth prince were expelled from the royal family, and the male and female members of their families beheaded their female relatives and made them slaves.The poor fifth prince died in a catastrophe, and he was the beloved son of the former emperor, so the new emperor's favor was to be buried at the funeral of the prince.

On the day of the funeral, Xiao Mu, who was wearing a yellow dragon robe, stood on top of the imperial city, watching Xiao Heng's coffin pass through every street surrounded by the front and back until it disappeared from sight.

Xiao Mu looked down at his hands, they were fair and slender, but every line was stained with blood.Killing his brother and father, Xiao Mu's cold-blooded and ruthless made him the king.

But even looking at the world with disdain is a time when there is intentional difficulty.

"Heng'er." Looking at the direction where the coffin disappeared, a tear rolled from the corner of Xiao Mu's eyes.

Once the emperor and the courtiers, since Xiao Mu ascended the throne, all alien parties were eliminated, new talents were promoted, and the entire court was completely cleaned up.

The cinnabar pen paused on the booklet, Xiao Mu looked at the word "Gu Yan" hesitantly.

After this sum fell, Gu Yan was demoted, but without Gu Yan, who can support the position of general?After thinking for a long time, Xiao Mu temporarily put the cinnabar brush aside, and said to the eunuch behind him, "Go to see General Xuan Xu and Mr. Ning."

When Tao Zhuo arrived, Xiao Mu was discussing with Xu Tianlei, so he had to wait outside the hall.

It's March spring again, and the peach blossoms on the treetops have revealed a little pink, shaking gently with the spring breeze.

In Chengqian Hall, sandalwood incense was wafting, and Xiao Mu, who was as handsome as jade, leaned on the dragon chair a little tiredly, squinting at Xu Tianlei who was kneeling below.

"The position of a first-rank general, holding the military power of the Jing Kingdom, makes me fear three points. No matter how many people look forward to it, I can't wait for it. I have the intention to canonize you, but you don't want it."

Xu Tianlei smiled, "I know how capable I am. I know that I am the most greedy for life and fear of death. How can I take on the position of a general. Moreover, General Gu was born and died for the country of Jing and has never had any leaks. His ancestors were the founding generals. Generations have fought for the Jing Kingdom, so the emperor has no reason to dismiss Gu as General."

Of course, Xiao Mu didn't want to touch the foundation of the Gu family.It's just that Gu Yan embraced Xiao Heng and kept alienating herself, Xiao Mu was worried that he would be unfaithful.

Looking at Xu Tianlei's appearance of swearing not to be a general, Xiao Mu snorted helplessly, "I look at you as lazy and playful. Anything that is afraid of death is an excuse. How can I fight against chaos? I don't see you being timid and backing down at all."

Xu Tianlei glanced at Xiao Mu, and then lowered his eyes, "I am indeed afraid of death, but there are always people in this world who make me willing to die."

It was the smile still on the corner of his lips that suddenly froze, and Xiao Mu's eyes darkened a little bit.

"You go down first." Xiao Mu said quietly to Xu Tianlei.

"Yes, I will leave." Xu Tianlei stood up and turned around freely.

Xiao Mu watched Xu Tianlei's back, secretly trying to figure out the meaning of his words just now.He is willing to die for me?Is it because of the way of the monarch and his ministers?For a while, I thought of Xiao Heng again, I will give you everything you want from Heng'er...

Xiao Mu rubbed his swollen and sore forehead angrily, and waved to the eunuch next to him, "Mr. Xuan Ning."

Behind the emerald crystal bead curtain of Chengqian Hall is the emperor's inner study.The huge and long desk carved in black sandalwood exudes a faint fragrance of pen and ink.

Xiao Mu and Tao Zhuo sat side by side under the desk, like two schoolboys avoiding their master's eyes, completely covering their figures.

Taking out the steamed bun hidden in his bosom, Xiao Mu tore half of it and handed it to Tao Zhuo.

Tao Zhuo was a little surprised, "You hid the steamed buns in the dragon robe?"

Xiao Mu smiled and rolled his eyes, "Do you feel that this steamed bun has become a delicacy in an instant?"

Tao Zhuo lowered his head and took a bite, then shook his head, "It still smells like steamed buns."

After years of changes, it seems to be back to the youth.It's just that everything changes, and the boy is not the boy he used to be.

Swallowing in small mouthfuls, when the buns in his hand were about to be eaten, Xiao Mu asked in a low voice, "How do you want me to deal with Gu Yan?"

Tao Zhuo said nothing, just lowered his head and bit the steamed bun.Xiao Mu didn't rush and waited patiently.

After all the steamed buns were eaten, Tao Zhuo turned to look at Xiao Mu, "What are you going to do with it?"

In the end, there is still no birth, and the title has not changed.

"Whether it's execution or win over, you can't let it go." Xiao Mu replied.

Tao Zhuo was silent for a while, and asked, "How to win?"

— One sentence can see through Tao Zhuo's mind, Xiao Mu smiled, "I knew you were reluctant to let him die."

The instant stabbing pain in Tao Zhuo's chest was like biting by thousands of insects, and also seemed to be trapped in a deep pool, unable to breathe, and unable to get out of it.

Only after Gu Yan died, the matter of Yun Yi would be settled.But Tao Zhuo's hatred always seems to be disturbed by something, he can't hate completely, and he can't watch Gu Bo die.

Maybe being with Yun Yi is just a heartbeat after being moved, and being with Gu Yan is the fate of love and hate entanglement.

Seeing that Tao Zhuo was silent, Xiao Mu said again, "I know what Gu Yan wants, and I probably know what you want too. Naturally, it is to win his heart, and it is also beneficial to me. Therefore, I I want to decree to bestow a marriage to fulfill you and Gu Yan."

The last sentence was like a thunderbolt from the blue sky, and Tao Zhuo couldn't recover from the shock for a long time.

After a long time, he stammered and asked, "You, why do you say that marrying Gu Yan is what I want?"

"Of course marrying Gu Yan is not what you want, but it should be what you want to conquer the humiliation you suffered before. You fell too hard in the general's mansion, so naturally you want to get up from the general's mansion, I said That's right."

Yes, Xiao Mu was right.Tao Zhuo tried his best to help Xiao Mu, nominally wanting to have a backer, but having a backer is not for doing things that he wanted to do but couldn't do before.

Tao Zhuo thought for a moment, then made up his mind and said to Xiao Mu, "I can't be a concubine, I want to be a flat wife."

"Naturally." Xiao Mu replied, "Not only that, but I will also canonize you as King Ning of Jing Kingdom, and you will be on an equal footing with Gu Yan."

Tao Zhuo buried her small face on her bent knees, thinking about the expressions of Princess Pingnan and Mo Zizhi when they received the imperial decree, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curved up in a mocking arc.

Back in the mansion, Tao Zhuo thought that now that the court situation was stable and Xiao Mu was enthroned as emperor, he should return the four monkey cubs.

In this way, halfway turned around and walked towards the courtyard where they lived.

The spring breeze is blowing, pleasant and harmonious.Tao Zhuo squinted his apricot eyes, sniffing the faint fragrance of peach blossoms in the air.

When he was about to raise his hand to knock on the door, he suddenly heard the roar of Hua Bugui coming from inside, Tao Zhuo was so frightened that he quickly withdrew his hand.

"Yue Wuhen, you are a fool, you hurt me."

Yue Wuhen was also very annoyed, "I told you not to move around, take a look, it's all bleeding."

Tao Zhuo outside the door was a little messy, with his hands hanging in the air, thinking whether to knock or not?

At this moment the window was pushed open suddenly, Xue Linglong saw Tao Zhuo with sharp eyes, "Master, are you eavesdropping at the door? Why don't you come in."

I didn't eavesdrop, it was because you shouted too loudly.Tao Zhuo's cheeks flushed red, wishing he could get in through a crack in the ground.

Entering the room, I saw Xue Linglong and Feng Xuancang sitting on chairs with their legs curled up.Hua Bugui and Yue Wuhen were standing by the bed, and there was still a trace of blood oozing from the corner of Yue Wuhen's mouth.

Tao Zhuo was still quite ashamed, feeling that he seemed to have thought too much just now.However, Xue Linglong's words shocked Tao Zhuo to petrification on the spot.

"Young master, the two of them can't even kiss. You teach them. Just like that bullshit general pinned you on the bed last time, set an example for them."

Are you crazy?Not to mention that his innocence was exposed again, what happened to the two of them kissing and the other two watching and giving pointers?

Tao Zhuo helplessly raised his forehead, these four divine beasts must be sent away.

"That." Tao Zhuo cleared his throat, trying not to be too embarrassed, "I have dealt with all the matters here, and thank you for your protection all the time. I will send you back to the young master tomorrow."

"Don't." The four shouted in unison, their ears buzzing with excitement.

Xue Linglong jumped off the chair, ran to Tao Zhuo and said coquettishly, "Master, you can take us in for a few more days, we will serve you with all our heart."

"Yes, young master." Feng Xuancang echoed, "Staying in Yunyan Xiaozhu is too boring, please allow us a few more days."

"But..." Tao Zhuo was a little embarrassed, the matter had been dealt with, so there was no reason not to return it.

But Tao Zhuo had just said this, and the four of them knelt down together as if they had discussed it, "I beg you to take me in for a few more days."

Tao Zhuo had no choice but to nod, "Three, I can only keep you for another three days."

"Thank you son." Xue Linglong jumped up happily, holding Tao Zhuo's arm with one hand, and pointing at Huabugui and Yue Wuhen with the other, "Go ahead, you happen to be there too, if you don't understand, you can ask him."

Tao Zhuo was so frightened that he waved his hands again and again, "No, do your own research, I'm a little tired and go back to rest."

After finishing speaking, he trotted away all the way, for fear of being caught by them as a demonstration.

In a few days, the news of Tao Zhuo's canonization and the gift of marriage spread throughout Shengjing.

Giving two men a marriage is considered a novelty from ancient times to the present, and it instantly sparked heated discussions in the streets and alleys.I heard that the elderly King Pingnan went to the palace to meet with him again and again, but was stopped by the emperor because he felt unwell.

It was quiet in the general's mansion, thinking that Gu Yan was given a marriage back then, but he entered the palace repeatedly to ask the emperor to take back his will.

That night, someone entered the mansion to assassinate Tao Zhuo, but was bitten by Xue Linglong's silver mink.

Wearing a red cloak, Tao Zhuo sat on a chair and looked at the three people who were tied up in the woodshed, with a lazy expression but a cold voice, "Who sent you to assassinate?"

The three gangsters had an expression that they would rather die than surrender.

Tao Zhuo yawned, "It's fine if you don't say anything."

Turning his head, he ordered Yue Wuhen, "Pull out their tongues, if you don't want to talk about it, don't talk about it for the rest of your life."

Then he got up and went back to the house to rest.

In the early morning of the second day, Tao Zhuo was lying in bed, listening to Yue Wuhen's reply.Two of the three showed their timidity and said that they were originally sent by Pingnan Palace.

Tao Zhuo pondered for a moment, "Let's lock him in the firewood room first, and give him twenty lashes every day."

"Aren't you going to Pingnan Palace to seek justice?" Yue Wuhen asked.

Tao Zhuo shook his head, only replied two words, not in a hurry.
