"No matter how strong a person is, he can only fear one person, but a nation can only be feared if it is strong as a whole."

"So, we have to fight this battle on our own."

"Fight the enemy to the death with one knife and one shot. There may be huge sacrifices, and many people may even die on the battlefield, but for the future of our entire nation, we must make this ruthless decision."

"Perhaps, I, Gu Tianya, am not a handsome man, but this time I choose to be as cruel as a handsome man. I am as cruel to my enemies as I am to myself."

"You may be questioning in your heart, or even secretly mocking me, thinking that I don't take the lives of ordinary soldiers seriously, that I just stand and talk without back pain, so let me tell you now, I, Gu Tianya, have long been

A decision has been made..."

"I, Gu Tianya, will participate in this battle. I will not sit in the middle of the army, but go to the front line in person."

When Gu Tianya said this, an extremely decisive light flashed in his eyes.

Suddenly he glanced at the whole audience again and swore loudly and word by word: "I will hold a knife like a soldier and personally chop down the Goguryeo soldiers one by one. If I can't do this, I'm sorry for my cruelty."

Decision. Ordinary soldiers are also human beings, why should they be the only ones to sacrifice? I care about Tianya, and I can also sacrifice."

"For the future of the nation, Gu will not hesitate to fight."

In the entire hall, there was silence at first.

Immediately, countless gasps erupted.

What?

Gu Tianya actually wants to join the battle like an ordinary soldier?

Li Shimin stood up suddenly, with shock on his face. The emperor almost didn't think about it and blurted out to stop him, saying: "You brat, why are you so crazy? With your small body, you..."

Since ancient people were more superstitious, the emperor did not say the rest.

But all the ministers present understood what the emperor wanted to persuade him.

However, everyone also noticed at the same time that the look on Gu Tianya's face was still determined.

"He is really determined to fight on the battlefield!"

The voice of everyone.

…

It has to be said that Gu Tianya's popularity is now very good, or it should not be said that it is popularity, but his importance in the eyes of everyone.

Whether it is an official from a wealthy family or a faction from the Tiance Mansion, looking at all the families in the Tang Dynasty, as long as they can be ranked high, they will definitely have interests tied up in Youzhou. These people will not do anything.

I would like to see Gu Tianya go to war.

Nowadays, the entire land of Youyun is the land of wealth for various families in the Tang Dynasty. Everyone has invested so much, hoping to make big profits from here in the future, and the most important prerequisite for making big profits is that

The industry on Youyun's side cannot afford to lose Gu Tianya.

Hello everyone, our official account will find gold and red envelopes every day. As long as you follow it, you can receive the last benefit at the end of the year. Please seize the opportunity to use the official account.

Under this premise, Gu Tianya actually wants to go to the battlefield?

Could it be that you are bent on deceiving us...

Don't say there is no way to do this, even the windows allow you to leave.

So when Li Shimin subconsciously stopped him, all the ministers in the palace spoke up. Some of them spoke purely out of friendship, but out of genuine concern.

For example, Duke Hu Guo Qin Qiong, Duke Lu Guo Cheng Yaojin, Duke Bao Guo Duan Zhixuan, Duke Yun Zhang Liang...

These princes from Tiance Mansion all have friendships with Gu Tianya, especially since they are all famous generals. They have been fighting on the battlefield for almost half their lives. They have the clearest understanding of the dangers on the battlefield, so they are even more worried. They must

I don’t want Gu Tianya to go to war.

But no one expected that the first person to stand up and get angry would be a member of the family.

Moreover, it was the Cui family and the Wang family who had been most hostile to Gu Tianya.

I saw two people suddenly standing out in the main hall. They were the two clan heads of the Taiyuan Wang clan and the Qinghe Cui clan. Among them, Wang Si, the clan leader of the Wang clan, had a slightly calmer tone and his persuasive tone seemed more sincere, but the clan leader of the Qinghe Cui clan

It was different, the old man was full of anger when he spoke.

"Gu Tianya, you want to go to the battlefield, right?"

For an old man in his sixties, this question was like thunder. Not only was he full of anger, but his words were also very serious.

Under the gaze of everyone, the Cui clan leader rushed directly to Gu Tianya, suddenly raised his finger, pointed at the tip of Gu Tianya's nose, and said loudly: "Gu Tianya, Lord Youyun, according to your rank and status, you should be considered a

You are of the first rank, but my rank in this court is only that of a third-rank minister, so in terms of official position alone, I should bow to you respectfully..."

"However, I will not discuss official position with you today. I will talk to you about your age and scold you based on your age."

"Do you know why I scold you? Because what you just said made me angry."

"You actually want to go to the battlefield?"

"You actually want to fight with others?

"I bother!"

"You have a beautiful idea, kid!"

The leader of the Cui clan spat suddenly, shocking all the ministers in the palace. Even Li Shimin, who was sitting at the top, was also stunned by the old man's actions.

The five surnames of the Tang Dynasty were Qiwang, led by the Cui and Wang clans. Among them, Wang Si, the patriarch of the Wang clan, was famous for his scheming, while the Cui clan clan leader was a well-known scholar.

There are peaches and plums all over the world, elegant and easy-going.

However, for such a great scholar who is famous all over the world, who would have thought that he would spit at Gu Tianya.

Gu Tianya obviously didn't expect it. Fortunately, Zhao Ning quickly pulled him away, otherwise the spittle just now would have sprayed all over Gu Tianya's head and face.

But he saw that after the Cui clan leader spat, he still seemed to be angry. Suddenly he looked at Zhao Ning and asked angrily: "Girl of the Li family, do you want to be angry with me? I just spat on your husband,

Does it make you feel distressed?"

Zhaoning held the tiger cub in one hand and continued to hold Gu Tianya with the other. He smiled and shook his head and said, "I dare not, you are an elder. You have made it very clear just now that you will not discuss official positions with my Tianya family today, but

It’s not about age, but it’s about scolding him based on his age.”

Zhao Ning paused for a moment, then chuckled and said: "Since you are relying on your age, we can't contradict you. The ancients often said that respecting the elderly and loving the young is a virtue. It is precisely this virtue that my family, Tianya, particularly cares about... You don't

Look at his expression just now? He was absolutely spitting on his face when you spat on him. If the little girl hadn't reached out and pulled him in time, he might have been sprayed in the face by your spit."

Zhao Ning's words were spoken very calmly, without any strong words, and without the slightest hint of a gun or a stick, just like a folk daughter-in-law chatting with others, her words were both ordinary and sincere.

She is completely unlike the character of the famous Princess Pingyang.

However, the Cui clan chief looked solemn, looked at Zhao Ning seriously for a long time, suddenly nodded slowly, and said with admiration: "She is truly worthy of being Princess Pingyang, she is nothing more than a heroine."

After praising you, he paused for a moment, suddenly sighed again, and said in an easy-going tone: "Girl from the Li family, I really didn't expect you. I thought you were only good at leading troops in battles, but that you are a talented general who is a hero among women.

But after listening to what you said just now, I realized that you still have the gentleness of a Han woman."

Then he paused again, his tone became solemn, and he continued: "Not only is he gentle in character, but he is also reasonable. Gu Tianya's ability to marry you as his wife must be considered a blessing he has cultivated for three lifetimes."

Zhao Ning smiled brightly, knelt down and gave a half salute, and said happily: "Thanks to your compliment, Pingyang is very happy."

The elder of the Cui clan did not shy away from Zhao Ning's salute, but directly accepted Zhao Ning's half-courtesy. Then he saw the old man cough lightly, and suddenly asked with deep meaning: "Do you know why I scold your husband?

"

Unexpectedly, Zhao Ning still smiled sweetly and did not answer the question at all, saying: "I stood up and just stretched out my hand to pull him to prevent him from being sprayed in the face by your spit, but as for why he provoked you to scold him, this kind of thing

I won’t care."

He paused for a moment and then said with a smile: "After all, Patriarch Cui, you are of the same generation as my father. If an elder wants to scold the younger generation, he can only listen. Do you think that's right?"

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Old Man Cui burst out laughing and said, "You're right, that's exactly what it is."

While laughing, he turned to look at Gu Tianya, suddenly his face changed, and with a cold snort, he asked: "What about you, brat? Do you know why I scold you?"

His words clearly sounded like a question, but without waiting for Gu Tianya to answer, Old Man Cui spoke immediately, with a hint of emotion in his tone.

He looked at Gu Tianya and said: "I am sixty-two this year, which is what the ancients called the age of hearing. What does "sounding" mean? It means that you can listen to anything. When a person is old and mediocre, his temper will be affected by his age.

When all the years are gone, what is left is just peace and tranquility. That’s why sixty-year-olds would call it deafness. At this age, people generally won’t get angry unless absolutely necessary.”

"But Gu Tianya, I really can't help but want to get angry today."

"I can't believe it, with your ambition and the city's power, you can be impulsive."

"You said you wanted to go to the battlefield to fight in person. I know why you have such thoughts. It's just because your previous suggestions made you feel that you were indebted to those ordinary soldiers..."

"You came from a humble background and suffered a lot in your childhood, so you never regard yourself as a master. Instead, you subconsciously regard yourself as an ordinary person. It is precisely because of this that you feel guilty. You feel that it is because

Your proposal will make those ordinary soldiers face sacrifices, so you have the idea of ​​going to the battlefield yourself, thinking that doing so will make your conscience feel better, right?"

This seemed to be another question, but the Cui clan leader still did not wait for Gu Tianya to answer, and continued: "But have you ever thought about it, you are different from ordinary soldiers after all."

"What a heavy responsibility you have now? Not to mention the properties of various families and clans in the entire Tang Dynasty here in Youyun, nor the investment from surrounding countries in you. Let's ignore all these interests.

Can we talk specifically about the people you care about most?"

"How miserable were the people of the Tang Dynasty?"

"You have lived in poverty since you were a child, so you should have a deep understanding of this."
