Cao Tianci walked on the cobblestone path of the palace with a steady step, behind him, followed by an officer with a slightly nervous expression, looking at his clothes, he was only a major, and he should be subordinate to the National Security Bureau, He Weiyuan was a little surprised, this level of officer can follow Cao Tianci into the palace, it can only mean that the affairs he is responsible for are extremely confidential and very special, otherwise the king will not care to the point of personally summoning him.

"God's gift, here? The king is listening to the Pavilion waiting for Tuni! He Weiyuan looked at Cao Tianci with a smile and said.

"There's Brother Lao." Cao Tianci nodded. "Brother He, where are you going in this hurry?"

"The guard battalion has recently selected a group of people from the guards, I'll take a look, rookies enter the camp, and there are a lot of troubles, and it really breaks people's hearts to bring them on the right track." He Weiyuan made an exaggerated gesture.

"How can it be so difficult, these people are all selected from the Guards, and their basic qualities are almost the same, just learn some rules, Wei Yuan, I heard that you have been active for a period of time and want to be transferred to the field army, right?" Cao Tianci asked.

He Weiyuan's face collapsed suddenly, "I mentioned it to the king a few times, and the king promised it before, but I couldn't find a suitable candidate to replace me, so I kept dragging it out." ”

"It's not that I can't find a suitable candidate to replace you, but it's that it's hard to place you all of a sudden!" Cao Tianci walked up to He Weiyuan, "Now that all the armies below have just been reorganized, and each army has a leader, how can you go down to settle you, I can't let you go to be a deputy, when the commander of the Shangguan went out from your position, he was directly the commander of the Young Guards, if you go out, you can't go down to this position." So, be patient, when the position is vacant, it will naturally be time for you to leave the palace. ”

"That being said, but people are in a hurry, I didn't catch up with the first few big battles. If I can't catch up with the battle to destroy Qin, it will really be a big loss. He Weiyuan scratched his head and said with some distress. If you want to go up in the army, the most important thing is the way of military merit, although He Weiyuan's starting point is high, he can at least become the head of an army when he leaves the palace, but if there is no military merit, it will be difficult to take a few steps forward.

"Destroy Qin?" Cao Tianci hesitated for a moment and smiled: "Don't worry." You won't miss it. ”

Seeing that Cao Tianci's words were unknown, He Weiyuan would not be stupid enough to get to the bottom of it, the person in front of him can be regarded as the person with the most secrets in the Han Dynasty. What he doesn't want to say, you'd better not ask.

"I'm leaving, you can go too, don't let the king wait for a long time." He Weiyuan saluted, turned around and hurried away.

"Destroy Qin!" Cao Tianci muttered in a low voice. There was a strange look on his face. "This is General He Weiyuan, the king's guard commander."

"Yes, I've heard of it. It's just that I haven't seen it, this Commander He also has a brother who serves in the Guards, and now he seems to be the division commander! ”

"Do you know a lot?" Cao Tianci said with a smile.

"These are all famous people in the big Han, and you can hear about them anywhere. He Dayou, He Weigao, He Weiyuan. There is also General Gu Li, the He family, all of whom are heroes. ”

Ha! Cao Tianci laughed and strode forward, and the man behind him hurriedly followed.

The Pavilion is located on the edge of the only large pond full of lotus flowers in the palace. Surrounded by large trees with a canopy like clouds, it is difficult to find a hole in the sky from the outside, and the winding path winds through the forest to the left and right, until it reaches the pond, which is much cooler than the heat of other places in the palace.

Gao Yuan only wore an ordinary shoulderless gown, and was sitting in the Xiaoyao Pavilion looking at a book, although it was the hottest time at noon, it was a gentle breeze, lotus leaves fluttering, lotus flowers swaying, and the air was full of cool smell.

Gao Yuan saw that it was Jiang Jiaquan's latest exposition, and in the past year, the first assistant Jiang Jiaquan handed over more of the complicated work of state affairs to Yan Shengxu, and he began to write a book with all his heart, saying that he would organize his life's efforts into a document and leave it for future generations.

Jiang Jiaquan's doctrine has undergone earth-shaking changes compared with the first meeting with Gao Yuan, of course, this is also because in the process of assisting Gao Yuan, the accumulation of practice bit by bit, influenced by Gao Yuan, Jiang Jiaquan's academic arguments are also slowly changing, Jiang Jiaquan himself is also well aware, so every time he completes a book, he will send Gao Yuan to take a look, this is not simply to pay tribute to the king, but Jiang Jiaquan is very clear, and a large part of the arguments in his book are proposed by Gao Yuan. He was merely refining it and finding a theoretical basis.

The outside world thinks that Gao Yuan completely relies on Jiang Jiaquan in academics, but Jiang Jiaquan himself knows that if it were not for Gao Yuan, there would be no such masterpiece that he is working hard to complete.

Gods descend from heaven! This is Jiang Jiaquan's evaluation of the king of the Han Dynasty.

"Your Majesty, I have brought him." Familiar with the way into the Xiaoyao Pavilion, Cao Tianci bowed.

"Oh?" Gao Yuan raised his head, put the book aside casually, and raised his eyes to look at the man behind Cao Tianci.

The man was very nervous, took a step forward, and said loudly: "Guo Yun, a major of the National Security Bureau, has seen Wang Shang. "The voice is a little too loud, a little out of tune, and the muscles on his face are a little distorted because of tension, as a major officer, it is indeed uncommon to want to see the supreme ruler of the Han Dynasty.

"Well, you're Guo Yun?" Gao Yuan smiled and said, "I often hear God-given mention of you, saying that you have done a great job. Come, sit! ”

He pointed to a brocade stool beside him.

"In front of the king, where there is a seat for the ministers, it is good for the ministers to stand." Guo Yun stammered a little, there was a big gap between the King of Han in front of him and the imaginary King Han, this man who was dressed casually and had a kind demeanor was completely different from the majestic and majestic in his imagination.

"Then the king let him stand and speak, so that he will be more natural, let him sit down, purely to let him suffer!" Cao Tianci said with a smile.

"Really? Am I so scary? Gao Yuan scolded with a smile: "You little rabbit cub, then you can sit down." ”

"Thank you, the king!" Cao Tianci smiled and pulled over the brocade stool and sat down, looking at Guo Yun, "Guo Yun, tell the king about your contact with the other side and the things you smuggled in the past six months, right?" ”

"Yes." Guo Yun coughed lightly and sorted out his thoughts, "Wang, my subordinates have always been operating outside as a businessman, and for this operation, the bureau arranged for me to appear in front of Gou Yi a few times, oh, it was the days when Gou Yi was captured, so in the image of Gou Yi, his subordinates are a businessman with relatively large magical powers, and they are all controlled products. ”

"When did he find you?"

"Three months ago. Gou Yi suddenly sent someone to contact me and wanted to smuggle steel and other goods from our side through smuggling, but the minister immediately refused him. Guo Yundao.

"Well, well done, if you agree to him right away, I'm afraid he will be suspicious." Takato nodded appreciatively.

"In fact, this is the overall arrangement of the bureau, how to meet their people, how to help after meeting, how to gain the trust of the other party step by step, the bureau has made a detailed plan." Guo Yun explained: "The subordinates are just painting scoops based on gourds. ”

"Getting to the point!" Cao Tianci reminded on the side.

"Yes, Gou Yi sent people to me several times, and the last time he sneaked over in person, it seems that they are in a hurry to ask for the goods, of course I raised the price high, almost to the end of the profit, I didn't expect that Gou Yi actually agreed." Guo Yundao, "Since two months ago, I have started to smuggle steel and other military items to the opposite side, including many arm-shaped crossbows and other items that have been eliminated by the army. ”

"How much?"

"It's very difficult to hide things like steel from others and transport them quietly, so the amount of each trip is only more than 10,000 catties, but in the past two months, it has been very frequent, and His Majesty has decided to stop for a while, otherwise it will attract the attention of the other party if it goes so smoothly." But things like arm-open crossbows are much more lucky, and in the past two months, a total of 5,000 pieces have been sent to the other party, and a total of hundreds of thousands of taels of silver have been collected. ”

"It's a good business!" Gao Yuan laughed and said, "Those eliminated arm-zhang crossbows are still worth this price?" ”

"It's not worth much with us, but it's still worth a lot on their side, not to mention that Lu Chao's current ordnance is subject to Xianyang, so he has to find another way." Cao Tianci said.

"Your Majesty, I, I have a question." Guo Yun suddenly stammered: "We, aren't we making enemies by doing this?" The Qin people are our enemies, these steels can be used to make good weapons, although the arm crossbow is old, but it is no problem to use a year to time, if this matter is exposed, the post, the post ......"

"What do you have to worry about, the king has his own arrangements, will the king be unfavorable to the Han Dynasty, don't ask what you shouldn't ask. You're an old man, and you're so unruly! Cao Tianci reprimanded on the side.

"Yes, it's a gaffe." Guo Yun lowered his head.

"It's really not a small thing, but you don't have to be psychologically burdened." Gao Yuan smiled: "Actually, you don't have to be as careful as now, even if the other party finds out your identity, it doesn't matter, because what you can bring to them is exactly what they want, we have to hide it, but it is the military of Jinyang, if they know, they will definitely come to me to quarrel, but there are many things, I don't want them to know now." ”

"Not afraid of revealing your identity?" Guo Yun was taken aback.

"Yes, what are you afraid of, what the other party wants is these things, what do you care about? What's more, or the other party already knows where you came from! Even if I didn't know it before, I'm afraid I can guess one or two now, but what does it matter, everyone knows it. Gao Yuan smiled. (To be continued......)
