Chapter 672 (2/2)
Gu Weiyi also arched his hand and saluted back.
Time is pressing, and neither of them has any extra polite greetings.
After a brief conversation, Gu Weiyi found that things were far more difficult than he and the Marquis expected.
Wei Feng explained the reason briefly. Gu Xingyun was still unconscious in the Jingwang mansion in the city of Ancheng. Gu Duanfei suddenly appeared in the Jingwang mansion at that time. He said that Gu Xingyun was seriously ill and knew his deadline was coming, so he asked him to take over the Gu family army.
Although there were many disputes in the army, several generals immediately called Gu Duanfei, saying that he was the son of Prince Hui. Now Gu Xingyun is unconscious and lying in bed. Who is qualified to take over the military power if he is not handed over to him?
Since ancient times, there has been a difference between the patriarchal family and the separated family. In order to prevent the separated family from seizing power and harming the same family, according to the ancestral teachings of the family, those in power can only be the lineage of the patriarchal family.
Therefore, the voices of those generals fell to the ground, and the voice of refutation suddenly stopped.
Gu Jiajun's generals are all collateral branches of Gu's family. If they make a sound at this moment, they will inevitably be accused of forgetting their ancestors and plotting against them.
If Gu's ancestor had a spirit in heaven, he would have been angry to live. It was precisely because he established such a rule that he wanted to put an end to his children's Thoughts on military power.
I didn't think about it, but let Gu Duanfei, the villain, succeed the position of military power as the chief General so easily.
If he is really at ease here, Gu Xingyun will never wake up again. After a long time, maybe Gu Duanfei can really sit in this position.
However, before long, he took all the Gu's troops to the western regions to surrender.
Gu Duanfei's reason for surrender is also very righteous. He said that Gu Xingyun's poison is the special poison of the western regions. The western regions offered conditions.
Surrender can save his life.
Gu Weiyi had been curious about why Gu Duanfei would keep Gu Xingyun alive since he had the power of war. If Gu Xingyun didn't die, he might fall from the cloud again at any time.
It wasn't until Wei Feng said this that he knew that Gu Duanfei had kept Gu Xingyun alive, which kept him unconscious. This is the reason.
Gu Duanfei said that he was sad and looked sad. He said that he had only such a brother and only such a close relative in this world. How can he not be saved!
The other generals can't even tell the reason why he usurped power at the moment. After all, he is still in a hurry to save his brother. He looks satisfied and just wants Gu Xingyun to wake up.
Who can accuse him of deliberately seizing power at this time?
The generals of Gu's army are all sub branches of their families. It depends on the descendants of the Zhongzong family. Although the soldiers in the army don't have Gu's surname, the older group of people are people who follow Gu Shiqing all the way.
Although there are many recruits, those recruits are also native to Gu Xingyun.
Therefore, this landing was easily beyond Gu Duanfei's expectation and was exceptionally smooth.
At present, it is also beyond the expectation of Gu Weiyi and Hou Ye.
Gu Weiyi knows that Gu Jiasu has heavy blood, but after many years of staying in the Zhao military camp, he has been influenced and changed his deep-rooted since childhood. He feels that the supremacy of imperial power and loyalty to the king and patriotism are his duty.
He thought that all the soldiers in Gu's army were coerced. He just needed to capture Gu Duanfei, take out the keepsake jade pendant, take over Gu's army, and garrison the city of Ancheng again. Everything could be restored.
However, the current situation is quite different.
Even if he captured Gu Duanfei and produced the keepsake, the idea of descending to the western regions to save Gu Xingyun has been rooted in the hearts of the soldiers by Gu Duanfei. I'm afraid it won't be easily changed by relying on the jade pendant alone.
Gu Weiyi feels deeply powerless, which is the difference of faith
