The Protagonist’s Halo - Chapter 229

The son was rescued back, and the news spread immediately throughout the Guogong Mansion, and it also gave a little hope to the old and weak women and children of the Gu family who was in a precarious manner. The descendants of Dingguo Gongfu were not prosperous for several generations. It was only in Mrs. Xie’s generation that they had two sons and one daughter. In the battle at the border, the grandpa of the country died in battle, and the second son Gu You could not even find the body.

If the world’s son is breathless and sees the bloodline cut off, even if the saint does not commit the crime and there is no male to support the lintel, the defeat of the Guogong Mansion is a foregone conclusion.

This allowed the old lady how to face the ancestors of the Gu family after his death, and how to face to meet the old man who established the prosperous mansion of the country.

She had no hope for a young boy with blue eyes and brows when she first came to the house, but she was always paying attention to it in the main hall. When she heard that Young Master Xiao let everyone out of the room, she seemed unwilling to disturb him for the treatment of the son. .

As a result, only an hour later, the son woke up and looked good.

Upon hearing the news, the old lady even rushed to the yard of his grandson Gu Huan without even paying attention to his demeanor servants and maidservants. When she arrived, Mrs. Xie and Gu Ran were waiting by the bed, and the doctor in the house was carrying the medicine box to check the pulse of the son. Seeing Gu Huan leaning on the bed, his face was still pale, but his brows, eyes and pupils were clear and energetic.

“Grandma, grandson… I worry about you.” Gu Huan felt a faint pain in his chest when he spoke even though his lungs were penetrated by a sharp weapon. But his grandmother still made the old lady cry.

And that doctor has also been in the mansion for many years, with profound medical experience and extraordinary medical skills, but now he exclaimed, “Wonderful, wonderful, the son’s previous injuries have penetrated into his lungs, even the gods would be hard to save. He is strong enough, I’m afraid I can’t survive these days. But now… I don’t know where the master doctor is from?”

Everyone looked at Xiao Han, who was using dim sum and tea beside the soft couch, and the latter smiled without saying a word.

The doctor came back to his senses and knew that he was a little bit of a mistake, and that he could almost bring people back to life in just an hour. He must have used some miraculous medicine or the secret technique of the master. This has never been passed on. How can it be good to him? Say.

He regrets in his heart, but he still knows the importance of the elder son’s being saved to the National Palace. He lightly stroked his long beard, stood up and said to the old lady and Mrs. Xie, “The elder son has no life worry, and he can take a few months to recover. recovered.”

It is an unimaginable blessing to be able to bring a dying person back from the gate of the ghost, just taking a few months of recuperation.

“Good, good.” Everyone was overjoyed and excited when they heard it.

At this time, Xiao Han interjected a bit of cold water, “The elder son will rest for two more days, I am afraid that the Guogong Mansion will be imminent.”

The room was suddenly silent. Even though Xiao Han’s words were a bit abrupt, but only because of her saving the life of the world’s son, even the old lady and Mrs. Xie would not say anything serious to her, and they were only extremely grateful. .

Since no one interrupted her, Xiao Han continued to calmly narrate, “Now there are rumors outside that Ding Guo Duke greedily entered the battlefield, and fell into the enemy’s trap. Not only did the two states fall, but Dayan was ruined. One hundred and fifty thousand soldiers. The civilians are grieved, and some people in the court have asked the Gu clan to be convicted. The emperor must also be deciding what to do with the government.”

She looked at Gu Huan again, her eyes faint but implicitly sharp, “But the internal situation of the war ahead and whether it is really as the outside world said, the son should know better than us.”

After hearing her words, Gu Huan was emotionally visible on her face, her hands were clenched into fists, and she was struggling and couldn’t help gasping and coughing a few times.

Mrs. Xie and Gu Ran quickly supported him, unable to bear pity, fearing to aggravate his injury. The old lady also cared about his grandson’s body, and calmly said to Xiao Han, “Let Huan’er take a good rest first. We will do these things later…”

“Young Master Xiao is right. Since I am awake, I can’t stay in bed and be a dead person.”

Gu Huanqiang endured the pain in his chest and looked at the old lady again, with bloodshot eyes, “Grandma, father is innocent, he did not greedy meritoriously, it was Wang Dan who framed us, and he didn’t come to rescue him to make father and younger brother. Encircled by the enemy army, my father… was also cut off by the enemy general and hung over the banner.”

After hearing this, the old lady staggered and took two steps back. Fortunately, she was supported by a servant and a maidservant. She experienced the grief of sending a white-haired man to a black-haired man, but also firmly believed in the innocence of her son. Although the son is not as brave and proficient as the old man, he is cautious and rules, and he will never do anything greedy for meritorious service.

This sentence said by Sun Er is undoubtedly confirmed, but if it is so, her son and grandson have died so miserably, and even the Guogong Mansion will have to bear the injustice in vain.

Mrs. Xie, Gu Ran and others are also very sad, for their husband, son or father’s second brother.

Xiao Han still said calmly, “The elder son should speak plainly before the emperor.”

Gu Huan, as the eldest son of the Guogong’s residence, was not average in his abilities and qualities, and he understood the meaning. The few words before and after Xiao Han were undoubtedly pointing him to his innocence before his Majesty, as well as accusing him of the real culprit.

The old lady suppressed his grief and said, “It’s better to get old.”

In fact, if her son was not in danger, she could also think of going to beat the Dengwen Drum. With her super-first-grade Guo Gong Tai wife’s mandate, even if your Majesty really wanted to punish Guo Gong Mansion, at least she would be able to fight for one side. Otherwise, you can’t just wait for the government’s mansion to confiscate the family and destroy the clan.

In this regard, Xiao Han said concisely and clearly, “Going with you, the effect will be better.”

The old lady is not a person who doesn’t know right and wrong. From Xiao Han’s analysis of the Guogong’s situation and suggesting to go to the emperor as soon as possible to declare her innocence, she knew that this young man was not only extraordinary in medical skills, but also had a brilliant vision, and was sincerely considering the Guogong’s.

“Ke Huan’er’s injury…” After finally walking back from the ghost gate, can he stand up to the sage’s petition?

If it breaks down because of this, wouldn’t it be worth the loss. Both the old prince and Mrs. Xie thought so, so the old prince would rather go into battle on his own, and also want to keep the blood of the official family. As long as the person is still there, can’t you make a comeback?

There is nothing wrong with them. After all, they didn’t know the medicine Xiao Han gave. After Gu Huan took it, it was okay to go to the battlefield again, but there were still a lot of injuries on the face. The wound can’t be healed completely, there is no trace, then people will yell at monsters when they see it.

The government’s response was not good. Xu was caught off guard and faced the grief of the death and injury of the country and the two sons. It was too late to do anything against the overwhelming pressure from the outside world.

If you want to restore the situation, you need a person to speak up. Whether this person is the old prince or the eldest son Gu Huan, the meaning is very different.

Under the shackles of secular rules of etiquette, as female family members, Lao Taijun and Mrs. Xie may have weight, but they are far from enough to cope with the open guns and arrows in the court. Unless they are killed on the Jinluan Temple, causing an uproar and sympathy from the people, they will set off. Can’t afford many storms.

And the elder son Gu Huan, as the eldest son heir, when Dingguo was dead, his words and deeds represented Dingguo more than anyone else.

In fact, the people in the government office, who have been in the center of noble power for many years, should understand better than her. She said that, how to choose is up to them.

Old Taijun and Madam Xie were still hesitating, Gu Huan first made a decision, “Father and younger brother, as well as the innocence of the 150,000 soldiers, are more important than my life.”

His face was pale, but his expression was very firm, and his voice was sonorous and sad. Both father and younger brother died in battle, but he was rescued by his own soldiers, and now he has survived by chance, and he is already very ashamed. If it is for his own life, the old grandmother, in order to preserve the innocence and reputation of the Guogong Mansion, submits to the palace, and copes with the sinister hearts and treacherous attacks of all parties, but he is cultivated in the mansion with peace of mind, then he is the real unkind and unfilial generation.

The old lady sighed, and finally acquiesced.

If Gu Huan insisted on this, she couldn’t stop him, after all, he was the heir of the Guogong Mansion.

Gu Huan forced his mother and younger sister to hold back. He straightened his back and arched his hands to Xiao Hanhan, and solemnly said, “Guo Gong Mansion is in crisis now, please ask Mr. to help me.”

In just a few words, his name for Xiao Han has changed from Xiao Gongzi to Mr.

………………

Just an hour later, the eldest son Gu Huan appeared outside the palace gate, begging to see your majesty to prove his innocence.

“As a master, my father did not take any trespasses. Instead, Supervisor Wang Dan frequently interfered with military decision-making. When we repelled the enemy beyond Baitong Pass, he privately changed the strategy of marching to intimidate my father. Going to attack Youzhou will result in a battle that is engulfed by the enemy. Later, his father sent sentry to request support. Instead of supporting him, Wang Dan abandoned the city and fled. As a result, the two states of Cang and Wu were lost and 150,000 soldiers died in battle.”

Gu Huan uttered word by word, clearly speaking to everyone in the hall.

When the Manchu civil and military officers heard these words, they were all stunned. If this is the case, the supervising army Wang Dan really deserves ten thousand deaths, ruining a warlike situation, and killing Dingguo, father and son, and 150,000 soldiers.

Then Wang Dan knelt down and wailed loudly, “The minister has been wronged. It is clear that the son of the world wants to shirk his guilt and wants the minister to bear the scapegoat. The minister is trusted by his majesty and is able to assume the role of supervising the war supervising army. How dare he be a little slack. .”

One of the hundred officials soon came out to help Wang Dan speak. It was not someone else, but Gu Huan’s former father-in-law, Zuoxiang, “As the imperial court commander, Lord Wang should not speak falsely on such a major matter. Duke Dingguo, as the master, It is really hard to blame for this big defeat.”

“Yes, yes.” Other civil officials also responded.

Gu Huan’s expression was cold, but it was not a lonely tree. Immediately, Cheng Guogong, who was also a military commander, stood up and shouted, “The three generations of Zhongliang in the government of the country have been fighting for Dayan for many years. There has never been any fault, how can you suddenly greedy merits. It was also your Wang Dan’s side words, but now it is just to confront you with Dingguo Shizi. Instead of honestly telling the truth, you have all kinds of sophistry. Is it a guilty conscience? “

The military attache Xungui who was on his side also questioned them one after another, supporting Gu Huan and Cheng Guogong.

Gu Huan’s face was pale and her lips tightened. Even though she hated Wang Dan so much and wanted revenge, she tried to maintain her calmness and reason.

Cheng Guogong’s presence of these military commanders was also important for Xiao Han’s guidance. There are many people in the court who want to punish the government of the government, and even the emperor may want to introduce the culprit and put the matter down as soon as possible. Even if Gu Huan personally expresses his grievances, he will inevitably be made things difficult. It is better to be a military commander of the same interest group.

So the hour before entering the palace, in addition to changing clothes, Gu Huan was to contact General Cao Chengguo, who was in regular contact with Ping. This kind of diplomacy is only suitable for Gu Huan, who is the heir of the government, and the old lady and Mrs. Xie can at best ask them for help instead of seeking cooperation and support in the court.

The front-line warfare was defeated. Supervisor Wang Dan insisted that it was the chief general Dingguo who was greedy for meritorious service. Those generals had already suffocated their honours, but they suffered from not knowing the truth and couldn’t deal with it.

Looking at it now, Dingguo is not without people, Gu Huan, a righteous heir, and who has personally experienced frontline warfare. How could they let Wang Dan continue to slander. And as the son said, Wang Dan’s behavior deeply touched the inverse scales of these generals.

When your Majesty dispatched the supervising army, they did not agree very much. Dingguo was not a fledgling new general. He was experienced and had a strong record. He sent a supervising army in the past and did not know how to use military strategy. The death may be the **** soldiers on the front line.

However, his Majesty insisted and wanted to grasp the situation of the battle, and if they objected again, it would cause his majesty to be jealous of their support and self-respect.

I don’t want Dingguo father and son and 150,000 soldiers to end up like this after all. After death, they are still so slanderous and slandered by villains, and they may even face the scourge of family ransacking. Being both a military commander and honorable, how can he not feel the coldness of his lips and teeth.

Dingguo Gongfu today may not be their future end.

Cheng Guogong, a middle-aged man with a sturdy vigorous back and a big waist, did not retreat, but knelt down with his robe, and said in a deep voice, “Please check this matter thoroughly, and see who is the son of Dingguo and Lord Wang. , Who killed my Dayan 150,000 soldiers.”

“Your Majesty, please thoroughly investigate this matter.”

Gu Huan and the dozens of military officials behind him knelt down and said in the same voice, together deafening.

Wang Dan’s face turned pale, and his body trembled slightly.

Previously, many officials tried to punish Dingguo Gongfu, which was under pressure from public opinion. Now that the elder son Gu Huan stood up from the innocence, the Wuxun Group naturally responded back without hesitation.

In the face of this justified pressure, the old emperor could only compromise, nodded and ordered a thorough investigation of the true cause of the defeat, as to how the Dingguo government would deal with it before making a decision.
