The Holy One gave Gu Yu and Junze three days to order troops and prepare their bags.
Junze traveled back and forth between the military camp, the eldest princess's mansion and the Zhenguo Duke's mansion.
Even though I was exhausted every day, I still had to hold Gu Yu to sleep.
His body has completely recovered. Sometimes he would feel uncomfortable when he was hugged, but he never got any further.
The most you can do is rub some time in Gu Yu's ear before going out on your own.
Gu Yu couldn't figure out what he was thinking, but he was very happy.
The day before departure, the Holy Spirit summoned Gu Yu at the Qinzheng Hall.
After Gu Yu walked in, he saluted the Holy Master according to the rules.
The Holy Emperor said solemnly: "Gu Aiqing, the Protector of the Northwest Zheng Ye covers the sky with one hand. The officialdom is extremely complicated. You must be careful when you go."
Gu Yudao: "I will never give up even if I work for the Holy Sage."
The Holy One turned the eighteen-child bracelet in his hand and said, "You and General Pingnan have always been at odds. I arranged for you two to go together. Are you dissatisfied?"
Another temptation.
Gu Yu calmed down and said firmly: "We are both ministers of the Holy Majesty. I have no disagreement with General Pingnan. Going to the northwest is to share the worries of the Holy Majesty. It is also an honor for me and General Pingnan. How can I be dissatisfied?"
The Holy Master stared at Gu Yu, not letting go of any expression on her face, and he also saw the stiffness on Gu Yu's face as he wished.
After a pause, the Holy Father continued: "I am very relieved that you can put aside your prejudice against him. Unlike him, who is such an adult, he still has the temper of a child."
The Holy Master summoned Junze in the morning, but Junze still looked careless. When he mentioned Gu Yu, his eyes turned cold and his face showed impatience.
The Holy Spirit said: "Gu Aiqing has a broad mind. You should probably have to tolerate my nephew a lot along the way."
Gu Yu forced a smile, but her words were inappropriate. They were obviously praising her for being broad-minded, but in fact they showed her partiality towards her nephew.
If Gu Yu really regarded Jun Ze as his mortal enemy, he would probably be filled with anger and become even more dissatisfied with Jun Ze.
Gu Yudao: "I understand."
The Holy One said again: "The bandits are rampant in the northwest, and the number of soldiers I have given them is quite large. Gu Aiqing, although you hold the title of imperial envoy, I hope you can work harder."
Gu Yudao: "Please give me a clear explanation from the Holy Spirit."
The Holy Father said: "In addition to identifying the officials involved in the military pay case, I also need you to perform the duty of supervising the military."
Gu Yu's eyes flashed and he said: "Your Majesty, are you worried about General Pingnan's self-respect in supporting his troops?"
It was only 30,000 horses. The Holy One was not worried that Junze would use these 30,000 horses to rebel. He was worried that Junze would collude with the northwest generals.
The military pay sent to the northwest border every year is not even a fraction, which means that the entire northwest officialdom is rotten to the core.
If you want to investigate, it will involve a lot of things, and some people will want to give it a try if there is no guarantee.
The sudden appearance of a candle star always makes the Holy Spirit uneasy.
He was always worried about Junze and the eldest princess. If those people in the northwest encouraged Junze and pulled Junze along to disrupt the northwest, the consequences would be disastrous.
But no one might be able to control the mess in the northwest.
After weighing all kinds of considerations, the Holy One thought of sending Gu Yu to go with him, both civil and military, and also to let Gu Yu monitor Junze.
The two support each other and monitor each other.
Since Gu Yu has the power but no soldiers, the Holy Emperor will trust him more.
The Holy Sage said: "My nephew has been spoiled by the imperial sister. He is young and frivolous, and will inevitably be arrogant. If he or the northwest officials have any inappropriate behavior, I will give you Shang Fang's sword to punish the traitor according to the law and do whatever is convenient."
A condor guard came to Gu Yu with a sword in hand.
Gu Yu knelt down, raised his hands, took the sword, and said, "Thank you, Lord! I will fulfill my mission."
Shang Fang's sword was heavy, and Gu Yu held it tightly.
It's really ridiculous. The Holy One wants to use Junze, but he can't trust Junze.
Thirty thousand soldiers and horses to deal with the bandits is indeed not a small amount, but in the northwest, what is more terrifying than the bandits is the entangled officialdom.
There is collusion between officials and bandits, even if there are 30,000 soldiers and horses, it will not help.
However, even with thirty thousand soldiers and horses, the Holy One had to be very cautious and even sent her to monitor them.
Once she has sinister intentions, Junze will fall into a place of eternal destruction.
Or maybe, the Holy Sage gave her the Shang Fang Sword to give her the opportunity to stab Junze in the back.
After Gu Yu took the sword, he did not stand up. Instead, he said: "General Pingnan has the sacred mission of suppressing bandits. Once we are separated, I will still be alone and helpless even though I have Shangfang's sword. I am brave and ask the Holy Lord to allow me to take three thousand Gu family members with me."
The army heads to the northwest."
The Holy Master turned Shibazi's hand for a moment, as if he was considering whether to agree to Gu Yu's offer.
Gu Yu struck while the railroad was hot: "The Gu family army was stationed in the northwest in the early years, and was more familiar with the customs and customs of the northwest. General Pingnan and his men fought more in the south. Although they brought 30,000 troops, they could face the northwest bandits.
There may not be a very good chance of winning. If there are three thousand Gu family troops to assist, it may be possible to achieve twice the result with half the effort."
The Holy Sage said: "I gave you five thousand Gu's Army before, but they are old and may not be able to travel long distances. So, I will send an order to the northwest. If the Gu's Army in the northwest is still there, you can adjust the order according to the situation."
The Holy One has his own considerations.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that the former Gu Jiajun was in pieces when Gu Junyi was there.
They were scattered and distributed to various places, many of them were taken into the hands of Shao Wuji, and many of them were left in the northwest.
Gu Yu is going to the northwest. If the Gu family army can help him, he can stabilize the officialdom and check and balance the emperor.
This was an unexpected surprise, and Gu Yu quickly thanked him.
Gu Jiajun is like a broken vase, Gu Yu picks up the scattered pieces bit by bit.
Even if he knew that no matter how hard he tried, he would never be able to piece together the original appearance, Gu Yu would still continue to work hard for their return.
Previously, there were about 5,000 undischarged Gu Jiajun in Kyoto, while the number of undischarged Gu Jiajun in the entire northwest was only a few more.
Even if we can't bring them all back, it's enough to let the world know that the famous Gu Jiajun is still there.
Thinking of this, Gu Yu's heart felt hot.
Just as he was about to leave, Eunuch Fuhai came in and announced: "Taoist Master Xuanqing and the Sixth Prince have arrived."
The Holy One directly let the two of them in.
Taoist Master Xuanqing held a box in his hand and performed Taoist etiquette to the saint.
Then he pointed to the pill in his hand and said, "This is the Bigu Pill that the Holy One is curious about."
According to the inner guard, Taoist Master Xuanqing was either meditating or refining elixirs in the Sixth Prince's Mansion, and he didn't eat much.
The Holy Master Xuanqing Taoist priest has silvery hair and a ruddy complexion. He seems to have truly fulfilled the saying, "Those who eat their breath will live long as gods."
The Holy One summoned Taoist Priest Xuanqing into the palace and told him to bring the Bigu Pill.
The Holy One said without hesitation: "Taoist Master Xuanqing, in your opinion, is it appropriate for me to send General Pingnan and Gu Aiqing to the northwest?"
Xuan Qing stretched out his hand to calculate one or two, with an unpredictable smile on his face, and said: "The person chosen by the Holy One is naturally safe."
