Gu Yun sat upright on the horse's back and asked, "Are you still here?"

Chen Yi raised Qianli's eyes in response and looked back: "Here."

The day when Gu Yun left Beijing, the scenery and the sky was clear. It was a rare ten-mile sunny sky. Emperor Long'an led all civil and military officials to see him off and sent him to Chengguan. He watched the soldiers and horses go away all the way. He had just dispersed, leaving only His Royal Highness Yan King without leaving.

He climbed the only remaining watchtower on the collapsed city gate, staring motionlessly at General Xuan Tie's back, which was about to stand on the ground forever.

Gu Yun did not look back, but said to Chen Yi: "How far have you gone? You shouldn't be able to see clearly even if you look at it, don't talk nonsense."

Chen Yi said angrily: "You see me if I am slurred, and I will try to help me again and again, so that others can think that I have something to do with the prince."

Gu Yun had already prepared an excuse full of words: "You have someone nailed a steel plate to try it out to see if you can still turn back, so you talk so much nonsense."

Chen Yi sneered, too lazy to expose him.

"Do I have anything to do?" Gu Yun paused, and asked and answered himself with great slightest desire, "Don't use your trivial old mother's heart to protect me from the belly of the general who can accommodate hundreds of dragons."

It is said that it hurts the muscles and bones for a hundred days. Gu Yun was dug out of the pile of dead people. Even if he dies, he will only last for half a month. Not to mention an individual, even if the steel armor is broken, it will not be so easy to repair. When Gu Yun asked for his order to go to the northwest, Yan Wang became anxious in court and almost started arguing with him in front of the civil and military officials of the court.

Even the Po Emperor Li Feng, who "don't give cattle grass, but only lets cattle work", was a little disgusted.

But at this time someone must reorganize the Xuantie Camp.

If the Westerners fail to surround the capital, they occupy the south of the Yangtze River half-deadly, and they will definitely not have the extra energy to take care of their shabby and poor allies. There are now a messy Western Regions coalition in the northwest line and the eighteen tribes of the Northern Barbarians, which cannot be considered a solid piece. If the situation in the Northwest can be reversed and the most imminent problem of purple gold is solved, then it will be a matter of time to defeat the foreigners back to their hometown.

It is easy to get a thousand troops, but it is hard to find a general. Gu Yun has to go there himself.

In the end, Chen Qingxu came forward to solve this problem. She whisperedly used a special steel plate to make it out by Lingshuyuan, which could be tightly clamped on people and fixed the bones that Gu Yun had not had time to grow. In this way, she made him a set of artificial steel and iron bones.

Although it doesn't taste very good after wearing it, it can at least ensure that he still looks like the wind.

Chen Yi sighed: "I said, "Master, please stop your big heart that day. What are you going to do?"

Gu Yun focused on his boat on his chest, pretending to be deaf and dumb.

Chen Yi saw this man playing tricks again, and immediately responded to it with a deep breath, raised his tone with a "ah" and shouted, "I said Damao, Yan...hey!"

Gu Yun turned around and gave him a whip. Chen Yi dangerously used the wind-cutting blade to put it in front of him. He stared at his cross-eye and kept patting his chest, saying, "It's so dangerous, I almost distorted - Oh, Grandmaster, you'll be angry when you say a few good words. I think that Master Cai is a Japanese spy, but the sandalwood farts he puts is not completely unreasonable. I think you are also a tough life. The Red Luan Star makes you unable to fly. After finally jumping up, all the peach blossoms come to you."

Gu Yun: "..."

Chen Yi smashed his mouth and felt that Gu Yun’s neck might not be very convenient to twist, otherwise he would have pounced on him and beat him up.

Gu Yun took back the horse whip, remained silent for a moment, shook his head and said, "What else can I do if my country almost lost? One day, maybe one day I will be covered in a body. What do you want to do so much?"

Chen Yi frowned when he heard this. He knew Gu Yun. If Gu Yun had really had no meaning at all, he would have said it out loud. He would never be ambiguous. Now that he is not determined, he is more likely to have a bias in his heart. He is just because he has some concerns, so he will "stay at the end and not send it out."

Chen Yi: "Slow down, Zixi, you won't..."

Gu Yun: "I won't talk about this."

Chen Yi: "That's your son!"

Gu Yun: "You still use nonsense!"

Chen Yi looked shocked, and Gu Yun opened his eyes irritably.

I missed this old lady very much when I didn't see him. I felt so annoyed when I saw him. Gu Yun simply grabbed the horse's belly and ran out of Chen Yi's side. He took out a small white jade flute from his arms and started to whimper.

Except for things that you can make sound without playing music, no instrument can make good sounds in Gu Yun's hands. Gu Yun, who was clamped into half a steel armor, had insufficient breath, his voice was a little shaking, and he pressed the hole and ran around the entire area of ​​Daliang. He was originally a little funny.

But at this moment, the sound of the flute was swept in the wind, wrapped around the sigh of going out of Yangguan, and it was actually a surprise to the ground, making people unable to laugh at all after hearing it.

Gu Yun's waist and back were clamped straight by Chen's steel plates, like a beam and pillar that would never fall, and there were two wind cutting blades with disabilities behind him... none of them were his own.

Chen Qingxu, who was following the army, listened to the sound of flutes from far to near behind, and suddenly felt something and whispered: "Don't talk about the matter of being a marquis..."

"Don't talk about the marquis," Gu Yun flew past her, interrupting the donkey's lips and his horse's mouth, "A piece of ice heart is in the jade pot, hahaha."

Chen Qingxu: “…”

After being answered like this, she couldn't remember what the second half was!

Gu Yun marched like the wind. Anyway, he was surrounded by Miss Chen, and he was not afraid of dispersing the steel plates on his body. He left Beijing and headed north all the way north. As soon as he left Zhili, he had been attacked by two waves of refugees, and it was not even a good time. He retreated with one blow and left with one touch, like a few wild dogs protruding their heads.

"I just left the capital and stared at us not long ago." Chen Yi said to Gu Yun, "I have fought with them. I am cunning and familiar with the land. I immediately ran away when I found that I couldn't beat them. I followed him again after a while. I was very annoying. When I got here, I heard the news that the capital was besieged. I was really annoyed by them in the marching.

Gu Yun said "hmm" and handed the clairvoyance in his hand to Chen Yi: "I'm afraid the dog-headed military advisor has read a few days."

Chen Yi: "What?"

Gu Yun: "I heard that when I pretend to retreat, I have to 'rumble and lose the flag' to attract the opponent to catch up. Unfortunately, the soldiers failed to understand the spirit. The flagpole was cut by them by themselves. I saw it just now."

Chen Yi: "..."

Gu Yun frowned and said, "What are these people rebelling? Do you know? I can't live anymore?"

"Where," Chen Yi sneered, "You think too well about the troublemakers. Even if there is nothing to do in the field, most of the good people will find some small business or learn a craft, and they will not be unable to survive. These refugees who wandered in the Central Plains and Shuzhong were originally some idle gangsters. They were organized by people who were interested. In addition to harassing General Cai, they were just doing business of robbing families. When General Cai chased them, they would run away and come back if they were a little calmer. I heard that in addition to robbing families, they also had rules. If an adult man in a family rebelled with them, the family would not have to be attacked by these thieves again, and their wives, daughters and sisters could be preserved, and they would not have to worry about being robbed at all times."

"..." Gu Yun said, "Slowly, I feel familiar with your statement. Isn't this the same as the Daliang corvee system? Military households do not pay taxes."

Chen Yi couldn't bear it anymore and said, "Master, who are you from?"

"Okay, don't be impatient," said Gu Yun, "In this way, aren't there more and more people who are bandits? Not only is there a 'tax exemption', but there is a team that can avoid the war. Who is the leader?"

"I heard that it is an old bandit who looks quite scary. I have been in this craft for many years, covered in scars and my face has been burned by fire. I claim to be a 'fire dragon'." Chen Yi sighed: "What do you think? We have worked hard for two days to bypass this mob and go directly to the reinforcements station of Cai Yan's northwest reinforcements?"

Gu Yun walked around in the same place with his hands behind his back: "There are internal and external troubles, and the cooking is a little bit. There are tigers and wolves in front, and there are no worries behind. I will write a memorandum and report it to the Military Affairs Office, saying that we will stay here for three or five days."

After the siege of the capital was relieved, Li Feng made a quick decision to remove the left and right ministers who were in the corpse. Later, in order to facilitate dispatch, he imitated the official system of the previous dynasty and established the "Military Affairs Office" to command six ministries, and activated a group of civil officials who had seen the truth in times of adversity.

The Military Affairs Office is brightly lit in the middle of the night all year round. When Jiang Chong pushed the door and entered, it was already 30 minutes. The gas lights were as bright as day, but Prince Yan was already asleep on the table, holding a pen in his hand.

Jiang Chong didn't want to alarm him, so he personally took the note held in the eunuch's arms, waved the man away, and walked in quietly. However, he was a civil servant after all, so he didn't hide his voice. Chang Geng was still alarmed. The moment Prince Yan, who was versatile in his usual manner, opened his eyes, there were red marks flashing in his eyes, as if a murderous light suddenly rushed towards the person in front of him.

Before Jiang Chong could react, the cold sweat on his back bone suddenly came down, as if the rabbit, locked by the murderous aura of a beast, took a step back involuntarily, scraped down Chang Geng's pen holder with his long sleeves, and the pen holder immediately collapsed.

Chang Geng woke up and instantly swept the wind and clouds to retract his murderous intent, stood up and said, "It's okay, I'll clean up."

Jiang Chong looked at him in fear, wondering if he was tired and misread, and asked carefully: "Has the prince been trapped in a nightmare just now?"

"Nothing." Chang Geng said as if nothing had happened, "Because of pressing down on his chest... his face was not good-looking and scared you. I got up a little angry. I just got confused and almost didn't know where I was."

After he said this, Jiang Chong couldn't ask again. He always felt that His Highness Yan was a little too angry when he woke up.

Chang Geng sorted out the knocked pen holder and then asked: "What, Brother Han Shi, is there anything wrong?"

Jiang Chong came back to his senses and sat down opposite him: "For the sake of the prince's meeting yesterday, the court heard a lot of noise. Once the court borrowed money from the people, it was unprecedented. Isn't this telling the world that our country's treasury is empty? Where is the face of the court?"

Chang Geng seemed not very awake yet, sat on the chair and kept pinching his eyebrows. He smiled and said, "Is it very handsome if half of the country is gone?"

Jiang Chong: "Some people have asked what to do if the court can't pay back the money by then? The prince also knows the treasury's family."

"The repayment period can be further divided, and the second and third batches can be issued in the future. Just dismantle and exchange them for the turnover," said Chang Geng. "The first batch of people who bought beacon tickets can appropriately give some affordable benefits, titles, false positions in the court, and franchise orders.... The most ideal thing is that if this matter is implemented, the people can use beacon tickets as silver."

"If that's true," Jiang Chong hesitated, "will those bills fly all over the sky? They will definitely be worthless at that time."

Chang Geng: "The court can buy it back when it comes to abstinence. When the court recovers, whether to pay back the money or continue, whether to amnesty agencies or specialize in law is a matter of later talk."

Jiang Chong said again: "Someone asked, what if someone from the people in the future makes fake money and comes to the court with fake money to ask for money?"

Chang Geng was angry at this and laughed: "I asked Lingshuyuan about this matter. Do you have to get such details to the Military Affairs Office to explain it? Will we talk about how to regulate the toilet specifications tomorrow?"

Jiang Chong smiled bitterly: "This is the truth, and His Highness the Censorate also knows... There is nothing serious about it except quarrels. I heard that you are writing memorials overnight and you are doing something wrong."

Chang Geng sighed: "A thousand reasons are just to solve the urgent problem in wartime, otherwise what else can we do? Should we pay heavy taxes on refugees in the city, or should we demolish the emperor's palace and sell it for money? If you have any questions, you can ask them at the court meeting. If you can answer, I said in court, "I will go back and think about it before talking about it, these people..."

This is how the court is. A small group of people are responsible for doing things, while the remaining majority are responsible for dragging their backs on finding fault. If things are successful in the future, it will depend on their own careful thinking. If things fail, it will be "why didn't you listen to me back then."

This is not counting. There are also those who have their own scheming and interests and are stumbling around. It is harder to do something than to reach the sky... It is no wonder that everyone knows the principle of "listening to both sides", but the most common ones in history are emperors who are arbitrary in the court and powerful ministers who are powerful in the court.

"It's not about you, Brother Han Shi, don't be surprised," Chang Geng waved his hand, "I've been talking too much recently, and I'm a little impatient."

"When it comes to Lingshu Courtyard, Gong Han of Feng submitted two more letters yesterday. The subordinates took the initiative to detain them first. The prince will see if he can deliver them up?"

Chang Geng poured himself a cup of herbal tea that lasted overnight: "Well, what did you say?"

"One letter is to ask the emperor to revoke the order and lift the ban on the civilian long-armed masters, and the other letter is to let the emperor lift the ban on the private purple gold transactions. It is said that wealthy businessmen must have their own ways. If the country is in trouble, it is better to play the role of these people so that the purple gold in Daliang can also come from multiple sources."

Chang Geng paused and shook his head: "Wang Han Gong...ah, this Feng Han Gong."

Li Feng was impressed by the old man's bare-handed spirit when he was besieging the city in the capital. Although this old man's temper was stinky and hard, he was loyal and honest. Therefore, he has been talking nonsense recently, and Li Feng has tolerated it.

"Look at the note of the method of withdrawing the palm, you can take a look. There is no major problem with it," said Chang Geng. "Forget about Zi Liujin, is it that comfortable to go against the emperor's dragon scales? Write a summary for him and report it, and then send the original note back."

Jiang Chong responded helplessly, and was about to stand up and leave when he suddenly remembered something again. He turned around and said, "By the way, there is also Marquis Anding..."

Chang Geng suddenly looked up.

Li Feng returned the Black Iron Tiger Talisman to Gu Yun and gave him the power to allocate troops and combat readiness from all directions. It is logical that there is no need to report all major and minor matters along the way, but Gu Yun did not appreciate this, and regularly submitted a briefing on the spot, what the situation was, what the battle was, what the plan was, and what reasons were all clearly displayed.

Jiang Chong: "Hou Anding had just arrived in the Central Plains, and there was nothing important. He only said that he had met a group of mobs from bandits and mobs, and planned to cook them first, which would last for only three or five days."

Chang Geng said "Hmm": "Stay me and see."

Jiang Chong sighed: "Big and small things are all here for the prince. Everyone else listens to the briefing. Only Gu Shuai's memorials are carefully read from beginning to end. The prince and the grandmaster have a deep relationship."

As he said that, he was about to say goodbye and leave. As soon as he walked to the door, Chang Geng suddenly called him: "Brother Han Shi."

Jiang Chong turned around inexplicably: "What are the instructions of the prince?"

Chang Geng put one hand on Gu Yun's note, rubbing it gently unconsciously, and for a moment of silence, he said with a blank expression: "Please help me collect the objections of the beacon votes in the court. Who said it, when it said, what I said, what I said, I will revise the plan as appropriate."

Jiang Chong was shocked - what was the revision plan "who said it" and "when did he say it?" He couldn't help but look at Yan Wang by the lights that had been lit all night. His face was young, but his eyes were not a little green. At first glance, he felt that he was a gentle and elegant noble man. When he looked at it, his eyes were not as bright as the spring breeze, and a hint of coolness came out.

When Jiang Chong heard that the late emperor had entrusted the fourth highman to Gu Yun before his death and grew up in the Anding Marquis' Mansion, he suddenly realized that the highman and the Marquis did not look like each other at all.

Jiang Chong: "…yes."

Chang Geng nodded slightly, all of them were smart people and there was no need to explain much.

When Jiang Chong left in surprise, Chang Geng let out a breath gently. He had not had a good sleep, and finally took an unpleasant nap in a drowsy manner. After being disturbed like this, he might not be able to close his eyes on this night. So he stood up and changed into the incense room and lit Miss Chen's Anshen San.

Chang Geng stood silently in front of Anshen San that was coming to his face for a while, and a nightmare that could not remember clearly made his heart hurt like a needle. Some outsiders could barely hold it back and didn't show it - this was very similar to the few rare Ur bone attacks he had.

Because of Gu Yun's injury, Miss Chen followed the army and called him aside before leaving, so that he could increase the weight of Anshen San and try to rest as much as possible.

This great joy and sorrow made him clean up the foundation he had been meticulous for years, and it would be more difficult to suppress it in the future. Urgu is most afraid of thinking - thinking is particularly harmful to the spirit.
