Chapter 248: Invitation
Chapter 248: Please give me an order
Dongfang Xia Lan snorted coldly and said, "It's rumored that you were dead, and the third brother had not returned from his mission. Some people from the six ministries began to whisper, saying that Jueling Sect was just like this, and even his son-in-law could not protect him."
Gu Du said: "Nonsense, I went deep alone. Even if I brought all the people from Jueling Sect, what's the use?"
Dongfang Xia Lan said: "That's why I said it's good but not good. Those bastards don't care about the situation, just focus on the outcome."
Gu Du narrowed his eyes slightly, pondered for a while and said, "I'll go and talk to my father."
Dongfang Xia Lan asked, "What are you saying?"
Gu Du replied: "Let's come together."
The next morning, Gu Du took Yun Jincai, Feng Jiu and He Jin to go on a trip, stayed overnight in the morning, and returned to the Imperial City of Zeguo soon.
When I met Gu Du's hands, Zedi pulled Gu Du's hands and shed tears, and said with a sob: "God bless Zeguo, fortunate that you have nothing to do."
Gu Duying said: "It is all the fault of the minister when he makes the emperor worry."
Zedi pulled him down and said, "It's good to come back, it's good to come back."
Li Xia sat aside, looked at Gu Du with tears in his eyes, and asked with a little complaint: "Where have you been in the past month?"
Gu Du said the adventure of Zhenling Island, and Zedi asked in surprise: "Is there really Zhenling Island? Is there really Mo Xuan?"
Gu Du nodded and replied, "It's true."
Emperor Ze frowned and pondered. Gu Du didn't know what he was thinking, and he didn't plan to ask, saying, "Emperor, what does the Ling Kingdom want to destroy the alliance this time?"
Zedi gritted his teeth and said, "Of course, the war started! I have 30,000 soldiers, and less than a hundred people came back alive, which almost killed my uncle. I can't swallow this tone!"
Gu Du said: "Your Majesty, I think that since I decided to start a war this time, I will not agree to the peace and go south and take the imperial city of Lingguo."
Emperor Ze replied: "Okay! It's just my wish!"
Gu Du said again: "I have a request, please ask the emperor to snatch it."
Emperor Ze replied: "Mr. Please tell me."
Gu Du said: "This time I was in danger because the warships of Xiongren Kingdom helped Lingguo. I thought that since Xiongren Kingdom had already participated in the war, the Linghuang was in trouble. If I learned that I was not dead, I would definitely join forces with Xiongren Kingdom."
"I am in the front, but the warships of Xiongren Kingdom can attack the sea, so I want to transfer several generals familiar with the war formations back to the imperial city to lead troops in case Xiongren Kingdom attack."
Li Xia frowned slightly, and Zedi asked, "Change them back, how do you arrange them?"
Gu Du replied: "There are many disciples in Jueling Sect who are proficient in military tactics. The ministers may be more busy in the early stages, but this battle is not a one-day contribution. In time, they will definitely be able to work together with the ministers."
Li Xia rushed to say, "Brother, if this happens, I'm afraid the court officials will complain more."
Gu Du replied: "I have given up on my own, but I have not eliminated the defamation. Besides, I have no choice but to achieve the goal of long-term stability in this battle. Besides, there is no other way. Even if I put on a robe after the Xia Dynasty, I must have a capable deputy general. If I want to take into account both the north and the south, I will not be able to do it."
Li Xia was silent, Gu Du's words were correct, but she always felt something was wrong in her heart, but she couldn't say something was wrong.
Emperor Ze said, "Okay, according to the national uncle's plan, I will give you the right to appoint and dismiss you. Everything can be executed first and then reported."
Li Xia was shocked, and Gu Du replied: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Li Xia said, "Brother, you have reason. I have nothing to say, but listen to me, our brother and sister will last for a long time. I still expect you to protect me in this life. Don't act irritably."
Gu Du smiled and said, "Don't worry, once the war begins, no one dares to speak anymore. Some people want to speak, and they have to wait until the next day is pacified."
Li Xia nodded silently, Gu Du raised his hand to salute and said, "I will leave."
After Gu Du left, Zedi hugged Lixia and asked, "What's wrong? Do you have anything inconvenient to say to the uncle?"
Li Xia shook her head and replied for a while: "I feel panicked. I don't know why. I always feel that my brother is going to start a big kill this time."
Emperor Ze said: "If you kill, kill. Those people will only make plans behind the scenes. Wen cannot govern the country and ensure stability, and martial arts cannot expand territory. If they dare to slander the uncle, they will not need to take action. I will kill them first!"
Li Xia frowned and sighed, glaring at him. No matter who has the ability, no one can govern a country. Officials at all levels always need to work together. As emperors, if they don’t know how to balance the situation, they will be a childish temper.
The eunuch walked in and whispered: "Emperor, uncle Li is here, please see Empress Xia."
Li Xia sighed again, frowned even tighter. Emperor Ze glanced at Li Xia and said to the eunuch: "Take him to the side palace."
"Yes." The eunuch stepped back.
Zedi coaxed Lixia: "Okay, after all, it's your biological brother. Even for your parents, you can't always be cold."
Li Xiachen said, "What do you know!"
Zedi replied with a smile: "I don't know, you didn't tell me."
Li Xia chuckled, then looked stern again and said, "It's not that I don't want to tell you, it's because I don't have the shame to tell you."
Emperor Ze frowned, Li Xia sighed, and said, "He didn't know where he heard it. Xiang Qiuhenian, the youngest daughter of the adult family, had already reached the age of hairpin, so he came to ask me to give him the gift to Changfu to propose marriage."
Zedi said, "This is a good thing."
"What a f*ck!" Li Xia said in a senator: "I have met Xiang Qiuhe, who is well-educated and well-behaved. If he is a general of the Gu family, he would be a good friend. But Li Changfu is something, and you have not seen him. They are nothing more than having blood relatives with me and have to recognize them. Not to mention any merits, they have not even learned etiquette and quality, and they actually want to marry the head of the Wenzheng Department? If I respond to this, it will not only defeat my virtues, but also ruin your benevolence and righteousness!"
Emperor Ze was stunned, and Li Xia said angrily again: "I'm so old, but I'm still just thinking about it when I encounter something."
Zedi smiled and asked, "Then have you heard all these words?"
Li Xia replied: "Of course I told him, but I never thought he was coming again."
Zedi said, "Maybe it's a matter of another thing. You can ask, it's not too late to be upset."
Lixia arrived at the side hall and sat down calmly. Lichun looked full of spring breeze and bowed and said, "Greetings to Queen Xia."
Lixia asked, "What are you doing?"
Lichun replied, "Congratulations to Queen Xia."
Li Xia frowned, and Li Chun hurriedly said, "Mr. Xiang has already agreed to Fu'er's marriage."
"What did you say?" Li Xia suspected that she had heard it wrong. How could Xiang Tianen agree to the marriage?
Lixia asked, "Did you go to propose marriage to the mansion?"
Li Chun replied with a proud look on her face: "Yes."
Li Xia called out: "Come."
The eunuch came in and replied, "Empress Xia."
Lixia said: "So quickly summon Xiang Tianen and his little daughter to meet Qiuhe."
The eunuch said, "Abide by the order."
