main hall.

Li Guobang had a stern look on his face and sat solemnly on two rows of huanghuali wood chairs in the hall. There were tea cups with white glazed lotuses on the tables on his left hand side, and wisps of hot air drifted away.

Jia Yun changed into a loose purple robe and came to the main hall.

When Li Guobang saw Jia Yun coming from outside the hall, he stood up and bowed down, saying loudly: "See you, sir!"

Jia Yun said "hmm", sat at the head of the hall, and said, "Deputy Counselor Li shouldn't be on duty today, how can he have time to look for me?"

Li Guobang took out a manual from his sleeve and said respectfully: "Your Excellency, my subordinates heard that Your Excellency returned to Beijing and came here to report to Your Excellency the duty situation of the Arch Guard Department."

"Oh..." Jia Yun looked at Li Guobang in surprise, Jia Yun Xiu Mu, it is impossible that Li Guobang didn't know about this, since he knew about Jia Yun Xiu Mu, and came to ask him for instructions, he couldn't be just to disgust people...

..

"Deputy Counselor Li, I will return to the capital to receive your majesty's favor and take a rest. Since I will leave the Arch Guard Department to you for the time being, I will naturally be fine."

Li Guobang was noncommittal upon hearing this and said hurriedly: "Since your Excellency is the Chief of Staff of the Guards Department, you should know the duty arrangements. As the Deputy Chief of Staff, your subordinates have the responsibility to report to Your Excellency."

Jia Yun looked as usual when he heard this. According to Li Guobang's opinion, was this a sign of goodwill to Jia Yun?

In the past, Jia Yun, Li Guobang and others were at odds with each other and kept business affairs in order. Now that Jia Yun came to Beijing just after returning to Beijing, he was really surprised.

Jia Yun chuckled and said tentatively: "Master Li, you are serious. We are both close ministers of His Majesty. Naturally, we have to deal with the Holy Emperor's mission first. We are colleagues, why should we be heretics?"

Li Guobang nodded with a smile and said: "What your Excellency said is absolutely true. All the officers and men in the Guards Department are only following Your Majesty's lead and are doing their best to carry out errands for the Holy Lord."

Jia Yun was surprised when he received the reply, but he still looked as normal and said: "That's how it should be."

After saying that, Jia Yun glanced at the manual that Li Guobang had been holding and said: "Since I am in Xiumu, I will no longer be involved in the affairs of the Archguard Division. You can just take care of it yourself."

"Yes, I will obey the order." Since Li Guobang made his attitude clear, he naturally wouldn't play second fiddle.

Originally, Li Guobang and Jia Yun were just doing official business, and it was good to keep it that way. But after hearing about Jia Yun's errands in Yangzhou, Li Guobang became worried.

Jia Yun acts "ruthlessly", so there is no guarantee that he will not have any thoughts about him, an "outsider" in the Guards Department.

Therefore, Li Guobang knew that Jia Yun planned to "show favor" to Jia Yun after he returned to Beijing. According to his guess, Jia Yun is not moving him now because he has no available people. Once there are other suitable people, he will definitely replace him.

After all, you do n’t want the person under the hand to have a discern.

The official position in the Archguard Division is not considered high in the capital, but it is special. It is an excellent gilding place for martial arts families like them. After all, they will definitely be promoted after leaving the Archguard Division.

In this world, only those who have power have power, and the Hou Mansion will not lose face.

Jia Yun didn't know what Li Guobang was thinking, and he was dubious about Li Guobang's overtures of kindness. After all, this kid was also the main force in resisting Jia Yun.

"Okay, I've made things clear. I have to take a rest for a few days. You will still be in charge of the Guards Department for these two days."

After the matter was discussed, it was natural to send Li Guobang away.

"I would like to thank you for your respect, I will definitely do my best in the future." Li Guobang stood up and replied.

Immediately, Li Guobang continued to speak: "Your Excellency, I have prepared a banquet in Chengyuan, and I hope that you will appreciate it."

Chengyuan is a famous theater in the capital. The capital is full of dignitaries. Many of the children of high-ranking officials and dignitaries go there for entertainment when they have nothing to do. It is extremely prosperous.

Jia Yun frowned when he heard this. He didn't know what kind of wind was blowing today. Li Guobang was showing his loyalty and inviting people to listen to the show. If something goes wrong, there must be a monster.

After thinking for a moment, he thought that he had nothing to do anyway, so there was no need to be polite if someone was treating him, not to mention that he could get to know Li Guobang's background.

For the purpose of eating and drinking together, Jia Yun said: "We are all colleagues, so we might as well get together."

Li Guobang was secretly happy when he heard that Jia Yun could show his attitude by giving him a favor. If he didn't even give him this little face, then Li Guobang would still be worried.

"My lord, official matters come first, and my subordinates still have official duties. How about we get together in Chengyuan at three o'clock?"

Li Guobang still has to take turns in the palace. Unlike Jia Yun, who is a temporary idler, although he can ask for leave, it will not be a good impression if he neglects official duties in front of his superiors just for fun.

Jia Yun nodded and said, "Very good."

When Li Guobang received a satisfactory reply, he saluted with satisfaction: "Then I won't disturb the Lord's rest. I will retire."

After leaving Jia Yun's mansion, Li Guobang entered a restaurant.

In the wing room, there were four men waiting anxiously. These four men were the four deputy lieutenants of the Gongwei Division: Xu Qing, Fang Zicheng, Yin Han, and Peng Ziran.

Today, the guards in the palace are from Zeng Guofan's army. They are all taking a break, so they naturally have time to get together.

When everyone saw Li Guobang coming in, they hurriedly asked: "Sir, what did Jia Shenling say?"

Li Guobang took his time and poured himself a cup of tea. He drank a large cup full of it. It seemed that his thirst was still not quenched. He drank another cup, pouring less. Li Guobang breathed a sigh of relief and felt comfortable all over.

Although tea was served at Jia Yun's residence, Li Guobang was too preoccupied to enjoy the tea, and the cups on the tables were not touched.

"Jia Shen received the honor, and he will come to Chengyuan to listen to the play at three o'clock today." Li Guobang said slowly and calmly under the anxious eyes of everyone.

After hearing this, everyone's hearts suddenly calmed down. Since they accepted the invitation, they would not pursue the case with them. Jia Yun was deeply attached to the Holy Family, and he would be dismissed as soon as a deputy counselor said, let alone them.

With Jia Yun coming back strong, it is inevitable that he will not rectify the Gongwei Department and eliminate those who have "different intentions". Especially after learning about Jia Yun's methods, even the clan uncles would dare to kill them, let alone them.

Immediately afterwards, Li Guobang ordered: "Xu Qing, go to Chengyuan to make arrangements. Don't save money."

"Yes." Xu Qing accepted the order.

Although they invited Jia Yun to listen to the play, they have not made arrangements yet. They are just using this matter to test Jia Yun's attitude and to establish emotional contact with Jia Yun.

When Xu Qing was about to go down to make arrangements, Feng Guobang shouted: "Arrange more pleasant actors, don't neglect Jia Shenling."

Several people looked at each other and knew what was going on. Although Kyoto was big, there were only a few circles in it. Jia Yun's visit to the Jiaofang Division could not be hidden from anyone. Knowing Jia Yun's interest, it was natural to arrange it properly.

"Don't worry, my lord, my subordinates will know and the arrangements will be made properly." After saying this, Xu Qing exited the wing.

At this time in the wing room, Li Guobang pinched the bridge of his nose with a headache and seemed quite tired.

Seeing this, Fang Zicheng asked carefully: "Sir, is there any omission?"

Li Guobang shook his head and whispered: "It's not that there was any omission, it's just that Jia Shenling seems to be as easy-going as usual. If it hadn't been for the incident in Yangzhou, I wouldn't have known that Jia Shenling would be so ruthless.

hot"."

Although Jia Yun was justified in killing his clan uncle on the street, in the eyes of most nobles, he was still cold-hearted. The world was like this and no one could change it. It was not for nothing that he said this.

It is precisely because of the troubles in Yangzhou that Li Guobang and others are uneasy.

"Sir, we may have misjudged our sights, thinking that this little... Jia Shen is easy to handle, and we can just keep up with it. Who knows..."

The next words cannot be said by the person who speaks. There are some words that Li Guobang can say but they cannot.

Yin Han saw Li Guobang's worried expression and comforted him: "Sir, it's not that difficult for me to talk to Jia Shenling. As long as we work hard, it won't be a problem. If he is dissatisfied with us, why bother to arrange it?"

Your Excellency is temporarily in charge of the Guards Department."

Li Guobang nodded when he heard this. What Yin Han said was quite right. Since Jia Yun dismissed Feng Bangning, Li Guobang has settled down, and Jia Yun has never found the reason for him. This shows that Jia Yun seems to be a person.

It's not bad to follow Jia Yun, at least he won't be looking for reasons for no reason.

Shaking his head, Li Guobang said: "It depends on Jia Shenling's attitude today. If Jia Shenling ignores the past grudges, it wouldn't be a bad idea for our brothers to lead with Jia Shenling."

Everyone nodded after hearing this. It all depends on Jia Yun's attitude...
