Seeing Ouyang Xuan turn around and want to leave, Gui Yihu was not in a hurry, and said leisurely: "General, this time the dog is very reckless, but it is not an opportunity. We can use this to see Hu Dan's bottom line, don't you say?"

Ouyang Xuan stopped, as if he was touched.

"In the end, this matter can be big or small, after all, the dog didn't really rape Hu Xueling. And if Hu Dan wants to move our Gui family because of this matter, he must use the power in his hands. Gui Yihu said calmly. "When the time comes, Your Majesty's attitude will be very important. ”

"If Hu Dan has a suitable reason to move me Guiyihu, I will naturally be afraid, but the problem is that he doesn't. If he wants to make trouble with me unreasonably, we can use the topic to let His Majesty know about his arrogance, and then weaken his power. ”

"It seems to work. Ouyang Xuan groaned in his heart. "Anyway, even if Gui Yihu is liquidated by Hu Dan, it won't be on my head. If it is really as he said, Hu Dan's power will be weakened, and I can't sit back and reap the benefits of the fisherman?"

Ouyang Xuan pondered for a moment, and said word by word: "Gui Yushi, do whatever you want, I will not be partial, I only support the reasonable side." ”

The corners of Gui Yihu's mouth curled slightly, he knew that he had taken Ouyang Xuan.

The two came to the Yamen of Shangshu Province, and as soon as they entered the door, they saw Hu Dan reading the official documents while making a gilded abacus.

Hu Dan was attentive and unaware of the arrival of the two. Ouyang Xuan and Gui Yihu looked at each other, and they were a little embarrassed for a while, so they had to sit in their seats silently.

The abacus crackled, Hu Dan checked the accounts wholeheartedly; Gui Yi looked at the nose, nose, mouth, mouth, and heart, his facial features were calm but his brows were slightly frowned; Ouyang Yi looked at Gui Yihu for a while, and Hu Dan for a while, his eyes kept rolling. The three of them did not disturb each other, and each had a ghost, and the air seemed to freeze.

Suddenly, Hu Dan picked up the gilded abacus and smashed it on the desk, startling Ouyang Xuan and Gui Yihu, and the tea bowl in Gui Yihu's hand was taken off and shattered. He hurriedly stood up and turned his face away, wiping the cold sweat from his face with his sleeve.

It was only then that Hu Dan saw the two of them, and said in a stern tone: "Why did you arrive? What time is it?"

Ouyang Xun looked at Gui Yihu, smiled and said to Hu Dan: "Don't be angry, isn't this time coming?"

"There are only prime ministers and generals here, and there are no relatives. Hu Dan said expressionlessly. "Two, the three of us are all ministers who take care of their lives, Your Majesty's teeth are few and sharp, so we should share more worries for Your Majesty. Why is it that now this Shangshu Provincial Yamen is almost my own?"

He held up the accounts he had just checked and said sternly: "General Ouyang, how come this year's military expenditure has increased by three million taels of silver? Could it be that my Dayu Dynasty is fighting somewhere? How come I don't know about such a big thing?"

Ouyang Xuan thought that Hu Dan would point the finger at Gui Yihu, but who would have thought that Hu Dan would attack him. He hesitated for a moment, and said with peace of mind: "This year's military expenses are set according to the standard at the beginning of the year, but Your Majesty wants to repair the residence of the eldest princess of Evian, and the Ministry of Industry can't take it out, so he borrows it from our Ministry of War, so there are three million taels more." His Majesty also agrees to this matter. ”

After Ouyang Xuan finished speaking, he looked at Hu Dan calmly, but Hu Dan was still expressionless, and continued to pick up the abacus and crackle.

Ouyang Xuan saw Hu Dan's performance, and he was a little angry in his heart, but it was not good to attack directly. He remembered what Gui Yihu had just said, and his heart was very depressed.

"Even if you are Hu Dan's sons and daughters, what if you are in the family?

This general is really aggrieved, he said in his heart.

He looked at Gui Yihu and couldn't help but sneer. Gui Yihu still looked confident before entering the yamen, but he was frightened by Hu Dan's abacus, and now he is messing up his appearance.

Vertical shepherd villain, this is Ouyang Xuan's evaluation of Gui Yihu.

Gui Yihu dug out his mind to draw Ouyang Xuan as an ally, thinking that he had a shield, and his heart would be more comfortable. But once Hu Dan got angry, he still showed his timidity.

"Why? What am I inferior to him?" Gui Yihu blamed himself in his heart, if Hu Dan forced him to question him again because of his bastard son, wouldn't he lose on the spot?

"Your Majesty has arrived. ”

A whip sounded outside the door, indicating that His Majesty was about to go to Shangshu Province, and woke Gui Yihu from his thoughts. He suddenly realized that as long as His Majesty was there, it was impossible for Hu Dan to do anything wrong. Knowing this, the panic in his heart dissipated, and he calmly greeted the holy driver.

After a while, a young man dressed in a purple robe and wearing a hosta came to the yamen of Shangshu Province. The three people in the room knelt down early and shouted long live.

"Get up. "The purple-robed young man is the current Emperor of the Yu Dynasty - Emperor of the Mandate of Heaven. He sat in the first seat, looked at the three of them, and smiled kindly.

"The ministers were terrified, they should have gone to Taiji Palace, but they didn't expect His Majesty to be here, it's really an unforgivable sin!" Among the three, Hu Dan's status is the most expensive, he can't afford it, and the other two don't dare to get up.

The Emperor of Heavenly Destiny motioned for the three of them to get up again, and said sincerely: "It's okay, you are loyal to the country, you work hard day and night, and I should also learn more in order to live up to the high expectations of my ancestors." ”

Only then did Hu Dan and the three of them get up and stand up.

"I called you here today for one thing, that is, Long Nayu, the princess of Golong Kingdom, has arrived in Fenghao. ”

As soon as the Emperor of Heavenly Destiny finished speaking, Ouyang Xuan was taken aback, he raised his eyes to look at the other two, and found that they were silent, and quickly stood still as if nothing had happened.

"A few days ago, the prime minister sent someone to take Princess Nayu to Feng Ho and complete the placement. The Emperor of Heavenly Destiny carefully looked at the performance of the three of them, and had a plan in his heart. "What to do with Long Nayu, and how to deal with the goblin civil war? ”

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that he should support Long Nayu's act of restoration. Hu Dan said slowly. "It has been thirty years since we signed the Branding Alliance with the Golong Kingdom, and in the past thirty years, the Golong Kingdom has gone from a country that can compete with our country to the destruction of the imperial family, which is really a bit incredible. ”

"The Ghost Fang is just one of the goblins, separated from the Goulong Kingdom by a vast expanse of quicksand and a cold wilderness, and can only be accessed along the narrow plain between the Tianshan Mountains and the Dragon Yuan. According to Princess Nayu, the Ghost Fang actually dispatched 200,000 troops to attack Goolong, and most of the troops attacked from the quicksand. ”

"In the past thirty years, there must be an amazing reason behind the fact that the ghost party has been able to develop such a powerful power. But no matter what the reason, you can't sit back and watch the ghost side become bigger. Therefore, it is necessary to support Princess Nayu's plan to restore the country, and even send troops to assist. ”

The Emperor of Heavenly Destiny nodded slowly and asked, "General Ouyang, what do you think?"

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that sending troops is necessary, but it is too early. Ouyang Xuan said respectfully.

"General Ouyang, what do you think?"

Ouyang Xuan said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, since the first emperor worked hard to whip and direct the army to the west, after countless bloody battles, he signed an agreement with the Goulong Kingdom in the branding plain. And the price was more than 10 million taels of silver and more than 90,000 children's lives. ”

"Although it has been 30 years, the treasury has not yet been full, and the population has not yet recovered to 80% of its peak. If it is true that as the fairy princess said, the ghost side is powerful, we should wait and see what happens, and even send a messenger to find out the reality of the ghost side. In order to know oneself and know the other, plan and then act. ”

After hearing this, the Emperor of Heavenly Destiny nodded and smiled, he looked at Gui Yihu and said, "Gui Yushi, why are you so depressed? Are you sick?"

Gui Yihu saluted in fear: "The vast emperor's grace, the five ministers are inducted, and they are very grateful for this honor." The minister is fifty and three this year, and it is a great sin to attract His Majesty's attention because of his physical strength. ”

"Gui Yushi should be cherished, when the first emperor was there, he gave you and other ministers the position of ministers, and let you and others assist me. Now, I am only fifteen, but I am old. ”

Speaking of this, the Emperor of the Mandate of Heaven sighed, Hu Dan and the three of them bowed down one after another, and Gui Yushi even knelt down directly: "Your Majesty is kind and loving, and the ministers are grateful, and they will do their best to repay Your Majesty!"

Emperor Mandate of Heaven motioned for the three of them to get up and said, "For a long time, Prime Minister Hu Cheng was on duty in this Shangshu Province, and it was very hard. I see it in my eyes, and I am anxious in my heart. Gui Yushi, General Ouyang, you will have to come here more in the future and understand Prime Minister Hu Cheng's hard work. ”

Hu Dan said gratefully: "Thank you Your Majesty for your concern, since last year, the firmament has either turned into white, and the wavering or fallen off, which is really a little powerless." The minister thought that it was best to take ten days for a period of ten days, and the ministers and the other three people should be on duty for three days each. The minister can also recuperate with peace of mind, and he has time to hug his grandson. ”

Emperor Mandate of Heaven said, "Okay, then General Ouyang will be on duty tomorrow." ”

How dare Gui Yihu and Ouyang Xuan disobey? They had to agree and thank the emperor one after another.

"Gui Yushi, tell me what you think. Emperor Heavenly Destiny said.

"Your Majesty, the minister doesn't understand military affairs, and these things have always been discussed between the prime minister and the people in the military department. But the minister knew that fighting a war requires talents, and talents must be carefully selected. This year is the year of the opening of Chengyun Pavilion, and the matter of the fairy princess can be put aside, and the matter of the entrance exam is a major event of the country. ”

Emperor Heavenly Mandate stood up, walked down the steps, and said with a smile: "Back then, the emperor's eyes were like torches, and I was able to assist me with a lot of worries, and you all had a reason. In that case, the goblin civil war and the admission of Chengyun Pavilion will be carried out at the same time. ”

"Tell the outpost of Branding Yuan to send out a detailed investigation to investigate the reality of Xiniu Hezhou. The affairs of Chengyun Hall are led by Gui Yushi, and implemented together with the Ministry of Rites, which must be fair and open, and recruit talents. ”

"As for Princess Nayu...... I remember that there are also some fairy students in Chengyun Pavilion, who are the same age as Princess Nayu, so let her go to school to avoid homesickness. ”

"Your Majesty Shengming!" the three of them said together.

Emperor Mandate of Heaven stood at the door, looked at the sunset, and said gloomily: "Okay, it's getting late, General Ouyang, Gui Yushi, you all go back." Prime Minister Hu, you stay here and talk to me for a while. ”

Ouyang Xuan and Gui Yihu led the order out and walked outside the palace.
