48. Controversy
Gui Yihu sat in the carriage, recalling the attitude of the Emperor of Heavenly Destiny today, and the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became. "What does this little emperor know? Does he know everything? I can't sit still, I have to talk to them and discuss what to do. ”
"Turn your head and go to the Yamen of Shangshu Province!" he said to you and the coachman.
The news that Gui Kun knelt in front of Hu Mansion and was cut off had already spread throughout the capital, and Ouyang Xuan didn't want to see him at this time. But Gui Yihu insisted on breaking in directly, and Ouyang Xuan couldn't reluctantly put down the paperwork and came out.
"Gui Yushi, what are you doing in such a hurry, I'm still on duty!" Ouyang Xuan said angrily.
"Something happened. Gui Yihu couldn't pretend to be calm anymore, looked at no one around, and said it bluntly. "You have to tell the people of the Eight Pillars Nation to be careful! Your Majesty wants to go and see for yourself. ”
Seeing that Gui Yihu finally stopped pretending to be calm, Ouyang Xun was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "You calm down, panic like this, what do you say? What does Your Majesty want to see, what did he say?"
Only then did Gui Yihu realize that he had lost his temper, and hurriedly tidied up his appearance, and before he could speak, Ouyang Xuan said meaningfully: "This is not the place to talk, let's go to my house tonight, I want to invite a few guests, let's have a good drink." ”
"But ......" Gui Yihu was still unwilling.
"Alright, just do as I say. Ouyang Xuan was very disappointed with Gui Yihu. "I said, do you usually look like you're not shocked, are you pretending? Why did you panic when it came to the critical moment?"
Gui Yihu glanced at Ouyang Xun resentfully, and an expression of Gu Jing Bubo appeared on his face: "Okay, I must be bothered tonight!"
Ouyang Xuan was anxious in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it. This is the Yamen of Shangshu Province, who knows if there is any Heavenly Mandate Emperor's eyes staring at him?
"I have to beat the people of the Eight Pillars Nation Clan!" Ouyang Xunxin said.
......
In the living room of Ouyang Mansion, several dining tables were set up. Ouyang Xuan, Gui Yihu, Dugu Xin, Yu Wentai, and other young people from the Eight Pillars National Clan gathered together. During this banquet, the wine and food were brightly lit, which was originally a joyful scene, but the atmosphere was very dull.
Among these people, Ding Yunzhi is an outlier. The others are all children of the family and hairpins of all generations, only he is a small salt official from the north, which can be said to be extremely shabby. He tried to be polite and thoughtful, but he still didn't win everyone's eyes.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I have told you all the things, and I will not say more. Ouyang Xuan said sincerely. "You are my sons and nephews, and I have fellowship with your elders, and I am very worried about you. ”
"Even though you don't need to take the exam, you can still enter the upper courtyard of Chengyun Pavilion. But after all, on the day of the exam, the emperor will inspect the examination room, and there will even be some problems, I hope that you will act at the opportunity and not ruin the reputation of the Eight Pillars Kingdom. ”
"To be disgraced in front of Your Majesty, your elders will also be disgraced, and I don't want that to happen. If there are any difficulties, we will raise them now, and we will share weal and woe, honor and disgrace, and we will not abandon you. ”
Dugu Xin made a square gesture and said with a smile: "What General Ouyang said is true, and the younger generation will throw himself to the ground. In the final analysis, our little emperor is still using this matter to consolidate his position. I think we'll just have to go along with his mind and make his teenage kid happy, and we'll be fine. ”
Ouyang Xuan and Gui Yihu exchanged glances, and he said calmly: "I don't know which subject Dugu Xian's nephew is going to apply for, what is his strength, and how to prepare?"
"The younger generation has been obsessed with magic since he was a child, and he is ready to apply for the law department. Duguxin said proudly. "It's not talented, the embers are high-level, and the questions that Your Majesty wants to come up with will not exceed this level. ”
When he asked, I answered. It seems that he, the little emperor Corporal Lixian, also shows the studious demeanor of our Hanoi children, killing two birds with one stone. ”
Yu Wentai said unconvinced: "Dugu Xin, don't forget, on the day you signed up, you provoked an incident, but you were easily subdued by a kid in the second row, and his strength is far above you." When the time comes, what will you do if Your Majesty comes up with a problem that you don't know or can't do?"
"Stupid! Yuwentai, you are also a seedling of the Yuwen family's generation, how can you be so chaotic?" Dugu Xin mocked mercilessly. "Since ancient times, the Son of Heaven has shared the world with the family, not with the mud legs. You think that the little emperor will care about those guys in the first and second rows, just make a show. ”
"This ......" Yu Wentai was choked by these words, and said hesitantly for a long time. "But that kid is powerful after all, if he is in the limelight again, won't he make me and others embarrassed. ”
Dugu Xin mocked again: "Yuwentai, how stupid are you. Why do you have to compete with those mud-legged people on a platform, you stupid!"
"You...... It's kind of let's go out and do it again!" Yu Wentai said angrily, slapping the table and blushing.
Seeing Dugu Xin's confident appearance, Gui Yihu said with some relief: "Okay, okay, don't argue." Duguxin is right, this exam will be done like this. If Your Majesty asks you questions, just answer them well. With that, he looked at Ouyang Xuan.
Ouyang Xuan thought the same thing in his heart, nodded and agreed with Gui Yihu's opinion. Immediately afterwards, Ouyang Xuan coughed lightly, motioned for the juniors to sit down, and said solemnly: "It was just a small matter just now, but now it's a big thing." ”
The children of the Eight Pillars Kingdom present, together with Ding Yunzhi, listened carefully.
"Our little emperor is terrible. Ouyang Zhen moistened his throat with tea and said seriously. "That day, he called me and Gui Yushi and Prime Minister Hu Cheng to discuss things together, and directly told us that Hu Dan took back Princess Nayu of Goulong Kingdom. ”
"I was taken aback at the time, if you want to receive Princess Nayu, at least you need to transfer the envoy of the Dragon Kingdom or a reliable token to prove your identity, in that case, Gui Yushi, who is in charge of the Ministry of Rites, will definitely know. ”
"If you want the envoy of the Goulong Kingdom to go out to greet Nayu, you need a release card from the Ministry of War to get the envoy out of the imperial capital, why don't I know anything about the Ministry of War?"
"Tell me, what's going on?" Ouyang Xun looked at these juniors and asked calmly.
Rao is Dugu Xin boasted of his wisdom and scheming, and he didn't dare to speak at this time, so he had to say tentatively: "Could it be that Hu Dan privately sent a goblin envoy to go? If you want me to see, we can report Hu Dan from this incident, he privately transferred troops and privately contacted the envoys of Goulong, this is a big crime!"
"The little emperor still stupidly believes Hu Dan's words, it is clear that he is deceived by Hu Dan, I think I can take advantage of him to go out and take a break from him!"
Gui Yihu slapped his face lightly and said with a smile: "He is worthy of being a child of a family and has knowledge!"
Dugu Xin was praised, proudly made a quadriopathy, and sat back on his seat.
Ouyang Xuan shook his head, and said in his heart: "This Dugu Xin is a little clever, and he can't be relied on when it comes to the critical moment. He continued to look at the juniors in the audience and asked in a deep voice, "What do the others think?"
These children of the Eight Pillars Nation looked at each other, and they didn't know what it meant. Usually, Hu Dan suppressed the stability of their power in the DPRK, and Duguxin's speech already represented their thoughts. And now, judging from Ouyang Xun's attitude, things were not as simple as they thought, so they had no choice but to stop talking.
"The younger generation has a word, I don't know whether to say it or not. Ding Yunzhi bowed his hand and said cautiously.
Ouyang Xuan frowned, but immediately returned to a calm attitude: "But it doesn't hurt to say it." ”
Ding Yunzhi stood up slowly, and before he could speak, he was interrupted by Dugu Xin: "Isn't this the big celebrity under the throne of the eldest princess of Evian?" As soon as he finished speaking, these young children of the family laughed one after another.
Ding Yunzhi opened the conversation as if he didn't see their ridicule: "General Ouyang, Gui Yushi, and all the sons, the arrival of Princess Nayu is indeed an accident that no one expected, but it is not without signs. ”
"Three years ago, there were a lot fewer goods from Golong, and the price was high. A year ago, news of the goblin civil war came from the caravan of the Golong Kingdom, and the envoys of the goblins also came and went frequently. However, the interesting thing is that these envoys all stayed in the country, and they did not make a move until Nayu's appearance. ”
"Dugu Gongzi just said that Prime Minister Hu Cheng sent the goblins in private, and he couldn't agree with him. There is no other reason, as General Ouyang said, it is impossible for Prime Minister Hu Cheng to bypass the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of War to send the goblin envoys, and it is impossible for us not to detect it. ”
"Nonsense!" Seeing Ouyang Xuan's blue eyes on Ding Yunzhi, Dugu Xin was quite dissatisfied, he snorted coldly and said viciously. "How did he, Hu Dan, become this prime minister back then? He relied on killing the rebellious marquis of the first emperor when he rebelled! He couldn't do anything. Nayu is the only relic of the Goulong royal family, is there any other good place for the goblin envoys to go? As long as the two sides meet in private, they will hit it off, bypassing the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of War, what is unusual. ”
