Kaifeng City was boiling, and when the news of Yue Fei's victory in the first battle of the Sikou Pass came back.

Guo Zongxun's mood was also very excited, he couldn't wait to get out of the palace after the end of the early dynasty, he wanted to go to the streets of Kaifeng to feel the joyful atmosphere of the people of the Great Zhou.

"Don't put on the prince's guard of honor, what you want to see is the real smile on the faces of the people, let's take it."

However, just as he walked out of the palace gate with Wei Zhongxian, Zhang Tieniu and more than a dozen guards, he found that the prime minister Wei Renpu and Wang Pu were waiting outside the palace gate.

"Minister Wei Renpu see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"The minister Wang Pu sees His Royal Highness the Prince."

"Wei Aiqing and Wang Aiqing are exempt from courtesy, and they are lonely and micro-obedient, so you don't have to do this big gift."

Wei Renpu spoke first:

"His Royal Highness the Prince, the good news from the front is coming, and now the people of Kaifeng City are celebrating, but the more this time, the more dangerous it is, the ministers and the king are waiting here to dissuade His Royal Highness the Prince."

Wang Pu also said:

"For the sake of the stability of my Great Zhou Jiangshan Society, the minister implores His Royal Highness the Crown Prince not to leave the palace again."

Guo Zongxun said in his heart, I just gave you a good face for two days, and you are starting to make old mistakes again?

However, this kind of exhortation, even Guo Zongxun himself thinks it is very reasonable.

The envoys of the Liao State and the Northern Han Dynasty are still in Kaifeng, and now the news that the Great Zhou army has conquered the Sikou Pass has come back, and there is no need to hide which one the emperor Guo Rong attacked.

At this time, the Liao envoys and spies will definitely be active frequently.

And other countries, the Northern Han, the Southern Tang, the Wuyue, the Western Shu, and the Southern Chu...... Including Tibetan ......

Don't the spies they buried in Kaifeng City want to fish in troubled waters?

"Lord Wei, Lord Wang, the two of you are the prime ministers of my Great Zhou, and they will give me a big gift to the prince of the prison country at every turn, and this is not good to hear, it makes it seem like Lone always bullies you."

Wei Renpu and Wang Pu both scolded in their hearts at the same time, Your Royal Highness the Prince, you don't bully us less.

Guo Zongxun pursed his lips, it seems that he often goes out of the palace, which has made the civil officials of the Manchu Dynasty panic.

The security of Kaifeng City has always been very good, whether it is the Department of Guards or the Department of the Palace, there used to be the prestige of Emperor Guo Rong, and now, the prestige of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is even more than that.

Every time His Royal Highness the Crown Prince leaves the palace, he can always find some problems other than public security, which are all under the jurisdiction of civil officials.

Governing the country depends on civilian officials, this is a truth, Guo Zongxun didn't want to break it, the militaristic system will definitely not work.

For example, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince took advantage of Wei Renpu's impeachment of the Hanlin Academy to edit Qin Li, and banned all the bookstores in Kaifeng City in one fell swoop, which caused an uproar among the civil officials.

Moreover, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also issued an edict that all places with private bookstores would be banned, and all books on sale would be confiscated and destroyed.

Guo Zongxun now has no time to care whether those books are suspected of betraying state secrets, and all of them are destroyed, in order to firmly grasp the publishing rights of the books in his own hands.

Some officials were bold enough to protest, saying that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wanted to follow Qin Shi Huang's example of burning books and pit Confucianism.

As a result, this official was transferred to the Great Zhou Criminal Department, which was specifically responsible for digging pits and burying the bodies of death row prisoners.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said, there are many pits to dig in this world, as long as you are willing, Lone can send you all to dig pits, mines, salt pits, puddles, including tree pits, and if you don't dig enough, Lone will not stop.

Pit Confucianism, loneliness is to pit Confucianism, if you don't pit you all honestly, how can you sleep peacefully.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, the emperor is personally on the expedition, you are now the prince of the prison country, and you have ...... on your shoulders"

Wei Renpu still wanted to advise, but Guo Zongxun waved his hand and stepped forward to help him and Wang Pu up:

"The two prime ministers didn't care about the government and ran to guard the palace gate for Lone, this is Lone's dereliction of duty, okay, you don't have to persuade you anymore, you all hurry back and do what you should do, Lone also go back to supervise the country."

Wei Renpu and Wang Pu didn't expect the prince to go back like this, and prepared a bunch of impassioned words of advice, but they didn't use a few words.

The two glanced at each other, and Wei Renpu said:

"Lord Wang, let's not guard the door here, Lord Fan hasn't come back yet, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has given us so many homework every day, let's go, go back to work."

Wang Pu looked inside the palace gate again, and the prince had indeed gone back.

"Lord Wei, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince won't sneak out."

Wei Renpu smiled bitterly and said:

"Lord Wang, do you think this is something that we should manage, as long as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince does not blatantly leave the palace casually, our duty of persuasion will be fulfilled."

Guo Zongxun took Wei Zhongxian and Zhang Tieniu back to the Prince's East Palace.

"Wei Banban, you said that the fake bullnose sent someone to spread the word, saying that there is a real bullnose who wants to see Lonely?"

"Yes, this time it's not only a real bull's nose, but also a big guy in the bull's nose."

Guo Zongxun smiled, it was also strange, not that this Chen Tuan has always been high and secluded, even when his father summoned him, he only came after repeated excuses, and he refused to enter the office, and only accepted the title of Mr. Baiyun.

How could he take the initiative to find me?

Could it be that this bull's nose has figured it out and wants to become an official in the court?

No, even if he really wants to become an official in the court, the timing is not appropriate, and the way he appeared is not right.

Chen Tuan wants to live in seclusion and concentrate on cultivation, Guo Zongxun doesn't believe it at all, people in this world don't have any plans at all, I'm afraid that they have a big plan.

Chen Tuo, at least a famous one, and besides, the benefits and the Daomen are not less.

Now it is Guo Rong's campaign to exterminate Buddhism, and I don't know how Buddhism offended him.

Chen Jian took the initiative to make an appointment to meet the prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and it was not an official audience.

can find Liu Bowen to pass the word, which shows that Chen Tuan has been paying attention to Guo Zongxun for a while, otherwise how would he know that Guo Zongxun can be found through Liu Bowen.

"This Chen Tuan made an appointment to see Lone, it seems that he came according to the rules of the rivers and lakes, it seems that he did not regard Lone as the prince."

"Master, what Liu Daochang meant when he passed the word is that you know about this matter, master, he has already refused for you, Liu Daochang said, the things in Chen Xuan's mind are different from normal people, let the slave tell the master, don't pay attention to this person."

Chen Tuo, Sleeping Immortal Chen Tuo, this was originally a legendary figure in the history of Daomen, Guo Zongxun also thought that since he had crossed here, he would have to find a chance to meet him.

But he didn't expect Chen Tuan to come to the door by himself, not to go to the Hajj to meet, but to meet the rivers and lakes.

"There have been traces of Chen Jun in Kaifeng City recently, and I think that since he has run into a wall with Liu Bowen, he will definitely not give up, right?"

Wei Zhongxian is very arrogant now, and he has more than 500 veterans of a hundred battles who have retired from the Guards Division in his hands at once, and the Jinyi Guard of Dongchang cannot be moved to the bright side for the time being, but many things have already begun to be carried out.

"Master, after receiving the summons from Daochang Liu, the slave also sent someone to pay special attention to the whereabouts of this Chen Xuan, this person has appeared in Kaifeng City, but it is very low-key, in the eyes of the people, it is just an old man with white hair."

"It seems that this Chen Tuan still doesn't give up, Lone is a little curious, Chen Tuan Jianghu made an appointment to meet Lone, what do you want to say and do?"

"Master, if you are really curious, it is better to meet you, the servant has ordered someone to collect some information, all of which are related to Chen Lu."

If you can't get out of the palace, it's boring, since Wei Zhongxian is ready, you might as well take a look.

After reading some of Chen Jun's information, Guo Zongxun said with a smile:

"It turns out that this Chen Tuan still participated in the scientific examination, and at that time, he was already well-known in Daomen."

"Yes, when Chen Kuan failed in the scientific examination, he announced that he would no longer enter the ranks, but concentrate on cultivation, and it was once rumored to be a beautiful talk."

"Mei talks about a fart, this is all a trick to fool the people to gain fame, I don't know how many people will follow this Chen Jun."

"Master, you are wise, at that time, it was true that many people who failed the first test announced that they would no longer take the test, in order to show their indifference and open-mindedness."

"This Chen Shu didn't pass the exam once, so he won't take the test, this person, it seems, is a little unplayable, haha."

Wei Zhongxian also laughed on the side, the Daomen boss was ridiculed by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince so much, and he blamed him for not figuring out his identity, no matter how famous you are, it was also given to you by the emperor, what kind of appointment do you have with a quasi-emperor like His Royal Highness the Prince, have you lived enough.

"My father also asked Chen Tuan about the dimming of gold and silver, and Chen Kuan's answer was very unreliable, and he dared to say something to his father, 'Your Majesty is the lord of the four seas, and you should be committed to governing the country, how can you pay attention to such a thing as Huang Bai Fangshu.' Obviously, he didn't know it at all, but he still pretended to be an old god, and he dared to accuse his father, but his father actually laughed it off. ”

"The emperor is probably too lazy to see him in general, Chen Tuan is already a famous figure in Taoism, and entering the Hajj to see him is a beautiful talk, if the emperor disposes of Chen Tuan because of this, he is afraid that the emperor's reputation will be damaged, but it will instead contribute to the fame of Chen Tuan."

"Wei Banban, you're right, Chen Tuan is a person, not to mention how to do it, at least he is a dishonest person."

Guo Zongxun looked at it for a while, and he was not interested, but it is a pity that Daomen, legends like Chen Tuan belong to the big flicker sequence, and it is conceivable what kind of goods those so-called alchemy monks are.

Engage in science? Alchemy in chemistry?

Guo Zongxun didn't think about using these people, but he was afraid that these people were not right, and they all relied on deceiving people to make a living, and this character was not up to par.

Being a down-to-earth person is the benchmark point for Guo Zongxun's employment.

"Wei Banban, why don't we go out of the palace, I really want to see the lively and joyful scene in Kaifeng City."

"Master, since you have an idea, let it be left to the minions."

The prince can't leave the palace, but the eunuch can, after Wei Zhongxian went out of the palace to make arrangements, he took a carriage and pulled more than a dozen jars of famous wine and martial arts back to the palace again.

"Master, the carriage was borrowed by the slave from Miss Li Wa, and it was said that it was to send wine to the palace, and when you go out, the slave will follow the carriage in person, but you have to be wronged by the master You hide in the partition under the carriage seat."

"Alas, it's so difficult for Lone to get out of the palace now, okay, then Lone will be wronged."

The carriage of the Hall of Heroes of the Hundred Battles sent wine into the palace, and Wei Zhongxian, the great eunuch beside the prince, personally escorted the carriage out of the palace, and the guards guarding the palace gate did not check it much, so they let it go.

Out of the palace gate, Guo Zongxun got out of the partition of the car seat, Wei Zhongxian drove, this time he didn't take Zhang Tieniu with him, because Zhang Tieniu is a personal entourage of the prince, and this bull's face is now almost unknown in Kaifeng City.

Wei Zhongxian is easy to do, he is originally white and beardless, and if he sticks a beard, he will be successful.

came to the main store of the Hall of Heroes of the Hundred Battles and met Li Wa.

The Hall of Heroes of the Hundred Battles is now a big change, the chief shopkeeper Li Wa is Yue Fei's quasi-wife, and the guys in the hall are all from the Fierce Army, and they are handed over to Li Wa to manage, and they are in hand.

"I want to congratulate my sister-in-law, General Yue's good news on the front line is coming, and now in Kaifeng City, the people are praising General Yue."

Guo Zongxun has always called Li Wa his sister-in-law, which has virtually improved and stabilized Li Wa's status and prestige in the Hall of Heroes of the Hundred Battles.

"This is all the emperor's prestige, and it is also the result of the concerted efforts of thousands of soldiers in my Great Zhou, but the clumsy man does not dare to take credit."

Although Li Wa has not officially married Yue Fei, she has called herself Mrs. Yue Li before and after.

"Sister-in-law, we won't be polite about this, I'm here to tell you that we can start launching the Liehou series of drinks for official sale."

The Hall of Heroes of the Hundred Battles now has a total of four branches in Kaifeng, the original Cui Ju's wine shop, Li Wa's grocery store, and the two stores donated by Cao Bin, all of which have been selling groceries.

"That's great, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't open Chrysostom again, I'm afraid that the rich families in Kaifeng will organize their families to come to us to grab wine."

Of course, this is Li Wa's joke, Li Wa is a smart person, she knows when to be respectful to the prince, and when to be the prince's own brother.

According to Guo Zongxun's arrangement in advance, Li Wa and Cui Yi have been studying the blending technology of wine for a while, and with some fruit wines in the Kaifeng world, they have really developed a lot of flavors.

After the fruit wine is blended with Liehou, the taste is more mellow, and I believe that after it is launched on the market, it will definitely sell well.

"These apricot blossom red, pear blossom white, peach Xianshou, luminous cup, the names are very good, they are all products of the Liehou series, this is the brand, and it needs to be launched the same."

"Then let's launch apricot blossom red and pear blossom white first, which happens to be in season."

"The famous wine martyr given by the emperor will continue to be auctioned, and the money from the sale of wine will be kept in the Hall of Heroes of the Hundred Battles, and the other half will be handed over to Father-in-law Wei, which can be regarded as a lonely internal treasure."

This money is naturally used to pay for the operating expenses of Dongchang Jinyiwei in the early stage.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, the women still have some ideas, but now the people around them don't make a move, otherwise our Hundred Battles Heroes Hall can develop faster."

"Sister-in-law, you're talking about opening a branch in Dacheng in Dazhou, this is not in a hurry, and you can't wait alone, but the rules set by Gu must be followed."

Li Wa smiled:

"The women don't dare to change this rule without permission, Your Royal Highness the Prince, you can rest assured."

Guo Zongxun set the rules for the Hundred Battles Heroes Hall, all branch managers must be selected from the veterans of the Hundred Battles, must be trained in the main store, and can only be certified to work after being recognized by Li Wa and Cui Yi.

This is tantamount to labeling the Hall of Heroes of the Hundred Battles with a bloodline, the first state-run shop in Da Zhou, all the personnel, they have been soldiers, carried guns, killed the enemy, and made meritorious contributions.

Cui according to his wife and a few old guys who were recalled by Cui according to the calculation is a special case, who let Guo Zongxun occupy other people's wine shops.

After explaining these things, Guo Zongxun took Wei Zhongxian and left the Hall of Heroes of the Hundred Battles.

"Sir, where are we going now?"

Wei Zhongxian stroked his fake beard, how can a eunuch who has no birds in our family become a master, let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince be a child servant for me, alas...... If only it could be written in the history books.

"On a certain day, in a certain year, month, and day, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince went out on patrol in micro-clothes, and the great eunuch Wei Zhongxian pretended to be a rich lord, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince bent down to become a child servant......"

This is also what Guo Zongxun requested, he didn't want to be too conspicuous, so he also deliberately asked Li Wa to give him a simple disguise.

Moreover, Guo Zongxun only brought Wei Zhongxian with him this trip, and even Wei Zhongxian wanted to transfer the brocade guards to protect him, but he didn't let him.

"Well, let's follow the master, don't look around, get lost, I'm going to lose my head, master."

A rich man and a child servant, the two of them wandered aimlessly on the streets of Kaifeng, feeling the joyful atmosphere of the people of Kaifeng City.

As he walked, Guo Zongxun suddenly pulled Wei Zhongxian's sleeve and said:

"Master, I'm tired of walking, let's find a tea stall to drink tea."

Wei Zhongxian felt strange in his heart, didn't he say okay, just listen to me, the eldest master, when he comes out, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is trying to play some kind of tricks.

In fact, this is also sudden good news, the long-dormant time-limited broken system has been activated again.

Therefore, Guo Zongxun had to find a place to sit down and enter the unknown space again to spin the spoon.

Wei Zhongxian led Guo Zongxun to a tea stall and asked for two bowls of tea.

"Wei Banban, just drink tea quietly, you look at it."

After whispering to Wei Zhongxian, Guo Zongxun immediately entered a meditative state.

"Ding...... The sexagenary branch system is activated, and due to the high energy ahead, the system will give away a lottery opportunity. ”

What's the matter, high energy ahead? What the heck......

Anyway, I can finally summon a famous general again, but I don't know who it will be given this time.

Entering the chaotic space again, Guo Zongxun no longer hesitated, walked over and directly flicked the golden spoon.

The golden spoon kept rotating, and the yin-yang fish was also rotating slowly, and the spoon handle finally stopped at the position of the Tiangan Xuzi and the earthly branch snake, and the white part of the yin-yang fish was in the same direction as the spoon handle.

It was another earth branch sequence, and the earth branch snake area rose, and a token fell into Guo Zongxun's hands.

This time, there are only three words on the token, Lu Siniang.

Lu Siniang? This...... Not a historical figure, but a folklore figure.

The apprentice of the one-armed Shenni, the younger sister of Gan Fengchi, the one who assassinated the Yongzheng Emperor of the Qing Dynasty...... Famous female assassin.

Anyway, it's a strong martial arts woman, and it is said that the one that looks is also extremely beautiful.

What does this have to do with the high energy ahead?

After withdrawing from the chaotic space, Guo Zongxun had another small token in his palm.

Guo Zongxun began to look around, where is the lonely fourth sister?

The one who set up the tea stall was an old man, and he didn't notice that he also had a daughter or granddaughter to help out.

Not far away, an old woman was pulling a little girl, this can't be it, one is too old and the other is too small.

With the experience of summoning Yue Fei, Wei Zhongxian, and Liu Bowen, Guo Zongxun also knew that when the time was right, people would always come out.

"Master, do you know a person called Gao Neng?"

Guo Zongxun suddenly came out and asked Wei Zhongxian.

"High energy? Let me think about it, sir.,It's very popular to hear this name.,When I still have birds.,But I know some Kaifeng rangers.,I've never heard of such a No. 1 person.。 ”

Guo Zongxun took a sip of the tea bowl, it was delicious, although it was not authentic tea, this old man didn't know where to get the leaves to boil the tea, and the tea soup obviously had the taste of red dates.

"Sir, there's an old man with a white beard staring at you over there."

Not far away, a white-bearded old man walked over, holding a slender bamboo pole in his hand, and when he saw Guo Zongxun and Wei Zhongxian sitting in the tea stall, he immediately stopped.

Then, the old man took out a robe from his baggage, took out a whisk, and pulled out a cloth flag.

"This old man is a trickster."

I saw that the white-bearded old man had changed into a Taoist robe, held a dust whisk in his hand, and hung the cloth banner on the bamboo pole, and there were a few big characters on the cloth flag: The iron mouth is broken.

Damn, fortune teller, Guo Zongxun was still very curious, but now he lost interest in an instant, and he was also a fake bull nose who relied on pit abduction to make a living.

"Master, this person is Chen Jun......" Wei Zhongxian reminded in a low voice.

"Oh, Lone remembered it, it's still a little similar to what was drawn on the data."

Since Chen Tuo has appeared, he must have come to Guo Zongxun, Guo Zongxun originally wanted to continue shopping, but now that there is something more fun, let's see what Chen Tuo, a real bull, wants to do.

Could it be that the high energy is Chen Tuan, in order to deal with Chen Tuan, the system specially sent me a top female assassin Lu Siniang?

Guo Zongxun looked at Chen Tuan with interest, and what Chen Tuan did was naturally to attract Guo Zongxun's attention.

"Let's not go over and see how this real bull's nose fools people."

The banners were all pulled out, and the old man probably had no money to buy steamed buns to eat, so he wanted to be a temporary worker to cheat a few copper coins.

The white-bearded old man, the Taoist bone fairy style, and the bearing is extraordinary, although he is pulling the fortune-telling banner, which looks a little nondescript in Guo Zongxun, but the people of Kaifeng City eat this set.

After a short period of effort, several sick men, women, and businessmen went to Chen Kuan to tell fortunes.

"Dao Ye is really a god, he knows five hundred years and knows five hundred years, and he has called out the names of the eighteenth generation ancestors of my family."

"Thank you Dao Ye for your guidance to Mingjin, the old marriage is due south, right, but in the area of Jinling on the right side of the river? The old man set off immediately to find my beautiful girl. ”

"Oh, Dao Ye is really a half-immortal, a few words opened the heart of the old woman and my girl, and my heart disease was all cured at once."

Guo Zongxun couldn't bear to look at it not far away, how could Chen Tuo's real bull's nose be more reliable than Liu Bowen's fake bull's nose.

These group performers are all hired by one of the five copper plates, right?

"Master, let's continue shopping, it's more interesting to find a beautiful sister to talk to than to watch this."

Ignoring Chen Jun, who was surrounded by group performances, Guo Zongxun and Wei Zhongxian threw down a few copper coins at the tea stall and left.

"Okay, okay, don't surround yourself, the old man taught you to wait all night last night, why are you still talking nonsense today, let you mess up, don't hurry up."

"Old man, I want to repay the debt, I said that I have three copper coins per person, and if I don't give it, don't think about leaving."
