Queen is fearless

Chapter 402 Request
"Your majesty... the last general..." On the way back, Gu Anzhi had a lot of things in mind and wanted to tell the emperor.

Originally, Zhou Jing wanted him to go home to rest, but he just came back, and the distance from the border to the capital is not close.

What's more, the time given is relatively tight. If Gu Anzhi wants to come back before the year, he must keep on going and rarely stop.

Judging from the blackness in front of his eyes, it may be that he hasn't had a good rest for a while. Before Wei Yi had an "accident", he was so decadent that he asked the lieutenants to write a letter to Gu Shenzhi. It can be seen that during that time, his condition was not good.

Anyway, since I'm back, if I have anything to say, I have a lot of time to say it later, so I don't rush this moment, so Zhou Jing will end the topic.

But he didn't want to, Gu Anzhi started by himself, looking at his appearance, it seemed that he had to say something.

"What do you want to say?" Since he has something to say, he will listen to it.

"Yes, the general has something to say." Taking a deep breath, Gu Anzhi spoke slowly, and told Zhou Jing the words and decisions he had made along the way.

Gu Anzhi's father was the loyal and brave Marquis of the current dynasty, who was conferred by the former emperor himself.

Once, he was also a fierce general, holding military power.

The first emperor made a decree to choose his only daughter as the crown princess, the future queen.

Gu Qingshan knew very well how afraid the emperor was of his relatives taking power, so he handed over the general power little by little, and only became an idle lord.

His Marquis position can be hereditary, and if there is no accident, the person who will become the son of the prince will be Gu Anzhi.

These years, because Gu Anzhi has been fighting outside, and Gu Qingshan's health has been good, so he has not asked the emperor to make Gu Anzhi his son.

Even so, those who know Gu Anzhi regard him as the son of the prince. After all, what is missing now is an imperial decree.

Originally, he didn't have any idea about the position of the eldest son, he could give it to him or not, but because he was the eldest son, most of them would be given to him.

On the way back, he changed his mind, he wanted to give the position of son to Gu Shenzhi.

"It's fine, why do you think so?" After hearing Gu Anzhi's words, Zhou Jing looked at him in surprise, wanting to know his real thoughts.

"Back to the emperor, the last general is a military general, and he often goes to and from the battlefield. On the battlefield, the sword has no eyes. What if one day..."

"If the last general is the eldest son, I'm afraid that when the time comes, he won't be able to leave an heir for the Zhongyonghoufu. If so, it's better to hand it over to Shen Zhi to inherit from the beginning."

"Shen Zhi is not a general, but a civil servant. If there is no accident, he will grow old safely. He is the most suitable son and inherits the Zhongyonghou residence."

"Besides, the emperor also knows that Shen Zhi is not a mediocre person, so he is fully capable of taking on the position of son."

Gu Anzhi would not say the real reason. Of course, Zhou Jing also knew that the reason he said was not complete, and there must be other reasons.

However, he didn't say anything, and Zhou Jing didn't want to delve into it. It should be a personal matter and has nothing to do with the safety of the country.

"I promise you." Before that, Zhou Jing was pondering that the position of the son should be decided.

It was planned that after Gu Anzhi came back, he would send out the imperial decree.

But now, he told himself very clearly that he did not want to be the crown prince, and if the emperor insisted, he hoped to hand over the position of crown prince to Gu Shenzhi.

Whether it is Gu Anzhi or Gu Shenzhi, he is qualified to be the son of the world, so Zhou Jing nodded in agreement after thinking about it.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Gu Anzhi couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief when this matter was accomplished, and saluted Zhou Jing.

"I have already promised you, now, can you tell me, what is the real reason?"

When the emperor's voice came, Gu Anzhi couldn't help being taken aback, and looked at him.

Zhou Jing was also looking at him, with a somewhat probing look in his eyes.

"You really can't hide anything from the emperor." With a wry smile, Gu Anzhi pondered for a moment, and told Zhou Jing what he heard in the inn on the way.

"The last general stays at the border all year round. It's not easy to meet someone he likes. What's more, she is willing to stay at the border and endure hardships with the late general."

"If you can't find her, it's better not to get married in this lifetime. Anyway, if you are careful, the Gu family will not lose their incense."

"If we can find her, depending on her situation, the two of us may not have children in this life. If the general inherits the Zhongyonghou Mansion, the heir will... I'm afraid it will make her very embarrassed."

Because of this, he thought of handing over the position of son to Gu Shenzhi, after all he was different from himself.

Maybe right now, he is obsessed with finding Jin Jiu, but if he can't find him for several years, and he has been in the capital all the time, it's hard to guarantee that he won't change his mind.

As long as he is willing to get married, there will always be a child, whether it is a boy or a girl, it is the hope of the Gu family, and the boy can be the son and inherit the Zhongyonghou Mansion.

If there is really no boy, and after giving birth to a daughter, it will be better than Wei Yi not being able to have children at all.

"I know." Unexpectedly, the reason was so, Zhou Jing was actually a little shocked in his heart.

As an emperor, he should be ruthless and loveless, but because of Gu Jinzhi, there is a softness in his heart.

However, compared with Gu Anzhi's emotions, it was still a lot worse.

In the past, if he and the queen had no children and knew that the queen was barren, even if they had feelings, I'm afraid... I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to do what Gu Anzhi did.

Maybe it's because the relationship isn't that deep yet, or maybe it's because of his status, he is the emperor after all, if he has no heirs... the country has no successor, what may happen is not just a matter of giving up his position.

"Your Majesty?" Seeing Zhou Jing in a daze, Gu Anzhi tentatively opened his mouth to wake him up from his own thoughts.

"I know what you said, and I will do what you want. As for Wei Yi, since she is not dead, I will order someone to find her whereabouts."

He sent someone to help Gu Shenzhi find Jin Jiu, and naturally he would also help Gu Anzhi find Wei Yi.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Gu Anzhi saluted again, to get the Emperor's permission, half of what he thought was over.

"As for what you said just now, I will pass an order to protect the things of the Wei family, and no one is allowed to tamper with it except Wei Yi himself."

With the emperor's decree, whoever wants to die will think about moving.

In this way, Gu Anzhi saved a lot of trouble.

"Okay, there is no need to thank me any more, I will send the decree later."

"You've said almost everything you need to say. Go home and rest. It's New Year's Eve. Have a good reunion with your family."

Standing up and walking to Gu Anzhi's side, Zhou Jing patted his shoulder and spoke with a smile.

Gu Anzhi responded, and after saluting, he left the palace and returned home.

Knowing that her son was coming back, Gu Fang was eager to see her, and would ask a few questions every day. He really couldn't believe it when he heard the servant's report, so he calmed down and hurriedly went outside to welcome him.
