After traveling through time, I became Han Zhang’s grandson?

Chapter 211 Settlement

"Han Hou is giving up? Haha!"

Emperor Yingzong pointed his finger at Han Ming and chuckled.

"Your Majesty, both the palm and the back of the hand are made of flesh. It is Your Majesty who makes the decision!"

Han Ming bowed and left the decision to Emperor Yingzong.

"National military reforms will inevitably require a prestigious figure to oversee them in order to provide checks and balances to all parties involved. Duke Ying and General Zheng are currently in the capital, participating in the advancement of military reforms."

"Zhong Huai, you will lead the troops to the north to fight the enemy this time. In addition, General Yang Wenguang, Deputy Chief of Qinfeng Route, will be transferred to the western Hebei Route to serve as Deputy Chief of Dingzhou Route and Chief of the Infantry."

"In this battle, you will cooperate with General Yang to resist the Liao army advancing southward!"

Emperor Yingzong put his hands behind his back, thought for a moment, and immediately made a decision.

Upon hearing that the emperor appointed Gu Tingye to command the troops and Yang Wenguang to be his deputy to fight together, Duke Yingguo Zhang Wenbi and General Zheng nodded slightly, indicating their approval of the order.

"Since Marquis Gu is leading the army to fight the enemy, why not ask Your Majesty to arrange their marriage and settle their lifelong affairs first?"

Han Ming asked Emperor Yingzong for permission with a smile on his face.

However, these words make people think a lot, and they are not sure what Han means.

"how to say?"

Emperor Yingzong asked curiously, as if he felt that Han Ming had something else to say.

“If the news of Marquis Gu’s wedding spreads to the north, I’m sure many people will let down their guard.”

"This way, we might be able to catch the other party off guard..."

Han Ming curled his lips and told his plan.

When Gu Tingye heard this, he rolled his eyes. He had realized that Han Ming would use any tricks as long as they could have an impact on the enemy.

"Ha ha ha ha..."

Emperor Yingzong laughed loudly towards the sky and pointed at Han Ming, not knowing what to say for a long time.

"Your calculations are really good, jingle-dong!"

"How is it? Zhong Huai, Marquis Han has thrown a difficult problem to you. What are your thoughts? Tell me."

Gu Tingye put on a sullen face and clasped his fists, saying, "Your Majesty, I'm unsure about this matter. I need to discuss it with Miss Sheng Liu."

Emperor Yingzong was not such a fool, so he nodded in support, saying, "As you should. After all, it wouldn't sound good if the news of your marriage got out."

"Please discuss with Miss Sheng Liu and give me a reply. If that doesn't work, Marquis Han's original plan will be enough to complete it."

Emperor Yingzong's words made Gu Tingye feel at ease and he nodded happily.

"Besides that, who do you think would be best to lead the charge regarding the strategy of sowing discord that Marquis Han mentioned?"

Hearing this, everyone didn't think about him at all, and collectively pointed at Han, who was rubbing his chin and thinking about something.

“Uh(⊙o⊙)…”

Han Ming stood there in a daze, looking around in surprise.

"Don't look anymore, it's you!" Gu Tingye immediately smiled with schadenfreude.

"His Majesty?"

Han Ming tentatively called out Emperor Yingzong.

"Ahem... Marquis Han is unparalleled in wisdom and strategy, truly a true Kong Ming. Such a small matter shouldn't be too difficult for you."

Emperor Yingzong immediately turned his head away and said pretending to be embarrassed.

“Huh?Σ(⊙▽⊙“a”

This time it was Han Ming's turn with a droopy face. He bowed helplessly and took the job.

"In that case, we will proceed according to Marquis Han's previous plan. The Privy Council will closely cooperate with Marquis Han and Marquis Gu."

"Duke Yingguo and General Zheng can also formally submit a letter of intent for military reform to me."

"I will have General Yang's decree to go north later and have it reviewed by the Secretariat and arranged as soon as possible."

Emperor Yingzong gave a brief summary and asked everyone to leave.

. . . . . .

After leaving the imperial palace and arriving at the palace gate, Gu Tingye began to complain to Han Ming incessantly.

"Jingyuan, tell me, are you immoral?!"

"Sixth Miss and I have finally come this far, and we are just looking forward to living a good life!"

"How am I going to face Sixth Miss from now on after you do this?!"

"Also, I'm getting married publicly, but I'm definitely going to lead my troops north secretly. This won't leave Sixth Miss alone in an empty room."

"How could she have held up all those jackals, tigers and leopards in my family without my support?!"

"Aren't you just looking for trouble?!"

"..."

Gu Tingye turned his face away from Han Ming with some resentment. After all, what Han did was really not right.

Using someone else's marriage to set a trap is simply unethical and outrageous!!!

"Sixth Miss is such a righteous person, she will definitely not refuse."

"As for those troubles at home you mentioned, let me set up a plan and send them all to Kaifeng Prefecture or to the frontier. They will definitely not bother your wife."

"Besides, you should know that our emperor has always remembered the merits of the sixth lady in saving the emperor!"

"Who knows, maybe I can win an imperial decree this time. Maybe the young lady Wei in her family will also be able to share in the good fortune and receive a title and reward?"

"Zhong Huai, think about it carefully. Sixth Miss is such a naturally strong-willed person. What else could she possibly be thinking about right now?"

Han Ming looked at Gu Tingye with a smile, patted his shoulder, and before he could say anything, he got into the carriage with the help of Yong Zeng.

"I did something really unkind this time. I apologize. If Sixth Miss has any complaints, just blame me."

Before leaving, Han Ming lifted the car curtain and spoke softly.

Looking at the carriage going away, Gu Tingye stood there, thinking about Han Ming's words, and sighed deeply for a long time.

"No wonder everyone is so afraid of you. You have such a keen eye for people's hearts. You're nothing short of an evil spirit!!!"

No one heard Gu Tingye's words except Shi Tou. If Han Ming were here, he would definitely be very happy with his evaluation.

In the evening, Gu Tingye came to Sheng's house on the pretext of visiting Sheng Changbai and briefly told him what had happened.

"Jingyuan is becoming more and more skilled at ordering people around." Sheng Changbai sighed as he sat on a chair.

"Putting aside other things, do you think your sixth sister would agree to something like this?"

Gu Tingye looked at the other party hesitantly.

"She's such an intelligent person, she must have realized the seriousness of the problem and would have stopped thinking about it, but it's a shame that Sixth Sister felt wronged."

Sheng Changbai knew what kind of person Sheng Minglan was, and also knew the choices she had made, so he was somewhat impressed by Han Ming's "good judgment of people."

"It's really bad luck to have a friend like Jingyuan!"

Gu Tingye said indignantly, covering his head.

"But some of what Jingyuan said is right. If this matter can earn Sixth Sister some credit, she will be able to live a more peaceful life in the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion in the future, and won't be bullied by those people in your family..."

Sheng Changbai hesitated and didn't say anything else, but Gu Tingye understood what he meant.

"I hope so!"

"I really don't want her to suffer such an injustice!"

Gu Tingye raised his glass, clinked it with Sheng Changbai's, and drank silently.

That night, Sheng Minglan, who was listening to a lecture in her grandmother's room, received a message from her second sister-in-law, Madam Hai, asking for something to discuss.

After saying goodbye to her grandmother, Sheng Minglan came to her second brother's courtyard. Hai received her and then walked out.

After a while, Gu Tingye and Sheng Changbai walked into the house. Looking at the pretty girl, Gu Tingye's old face turned red.

"If you have anything to say, just say it directly. My wife and I are next door, and we've already told outsiders not to enter."

Sheng Changbai said a few words to Gu Tingye, looked at Sheng Minglan deeply, nodded slightly and left.

"you!"

Sheng Minglan never thought that the so-called 'something to discuss' was actually a trick to have her have a tryst with Uncle Gu. This made her so embarrassed that she stood up and was about to leave.

"Don't worry, Sixth Miss. I'm here to discuss something important."

Gu Tingye immediately stopped Minglan and spoke cautiously and solemnly.

Seeing this, Minglan opened her eyes wide and looked at the other person in confusion.

"Uncle Gu, what do you mean? I'm just a little girl, how could I trouble you so much?"

Gu Tingye smiled awkwardly, extended his hand for Minglan to sit down, then sat opposite her, picked up a bowl of tea and gulped it down.

"Actually, this is what happened..."

Gu Tingye quickly recounted the incident, but the more he spoke, the more ashamed he felt. For the first time, Gu, whose face was thicker than a city wall, blushed.

Seeing Minglan acting like this, she felt happy and understood that the other party cared about her, so she couldn't help but put on a serious face.

"Second Uncle Gu is a new noble in the court and a general trusted by the government. How can he act so fussy and make people laugh at him?"

"Although Minglan is a woman, if she can make a contribution to the country, she will do so without hesitation."

"Besides, this matter was all decided by Marquis Anyang himself. What does it have to do with Second Uncle Gu?"

Minglan's wise words lightened Gu Tingye's heart burden a lot. He looked at the girl with softer eyes and wished he could get married and enter the bridal chamber right away.

Han Ming, who was eating in his own house, sneezed several times under the strange gazes of Yu Yanran and Han Duanyang.

"Is this a scolding?"
