The guests also dispersed in twos and threes, today they can be regarded as an eye-opener, a young man stakes his future and confronts Xiangguo Yuanzai, this matter will inevitably spread throughout Chang'an tomorrow.

Xue Yunguan returned to his seat, and his wife Han asked curiously, "Husband, what happened, everyone is talking about it?" ”

Xue Yun shook his head and smiled: "Just now, a young man angrily accused Yuan Xiangguo of bullying the monarch in public, and his courage is commendable!" ”

"Whose child is it, causing trouble for his parents!"

"I don't know whose child it is, it seems to be surnamed Guo."

"Surname Guo?"

Han Shi was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked, "Is it a very tall young man with slightly dark skin and wearing one...... Light blue shirt. ”

Xue Yun thought for a moment, "It seems to be." ”

Han Shi suddenly became anxious, and said to the daughter next to him: "This is a troublemaker, you are not allowed to pay attention to him in the future." ”

Xue Tao was dissatisfied: "Mother, what are you talking nonsense, I don't know him at all." ”

Xue Yun laughed, "Tao'er knows this young man?" ”

"Daddy, don't listen to her mother's nonsense, her daughter said a few words to him in the back garden, I didn't know him before, and I won't have an intersection in the future, look at my mother, she thinks too much about herself."

"I'm all for your good!"

Han's eyes widened and said, "You are young and ignorant, what is wrong with you reminding you?" “

Xue Yun smiled, "Some things are really unclear, that young man is also a hard fork, he inadvertently leaked a sentence, he has a gold medal of the Son of Heaven, it can be seen that his background is not simple, otherwise His Royal Highness will not tolerate him again and again, everyone says that he will be unlucky, I don't think things are so simple." ”

Next to him, Xue Tao suddenly said: "He just offended Xiangguo, not the Son of Heaven, he is still so young, what are you afraid of?" ”

Xue Yun praised his daughter's words very much, he stroked his beard and smiled: "Tao'er is reasonable, don't look at the current Yuan Zaiquan leaning towards the government and the opposition, I guess it's going to be soon." ”

Speaking of this, Xue Yun suddenly realized that this young man surnamed Guo seemed to be deliberately working against Yuan Zai, and there may be a deeper meaning hidden in this matter.

........

Guo Song angrily reprimanded Yuan Zai at the birthday banquet of Zhao's mansion like having wings, and soon spread throughout Chang'an, this kind of story of fighting the powerful with the weak, and the common people fighting the powerful has always attracted people's attention, and the streets and alleys of Chang'an are talking about this matter with relish, and various versions are also emerging in the capital in an endless stream.

In the Daming Palace, Li Yu, the son of heaven sitting in the ward, calmly listened to the report of the chamberlain, and a knowing smile appeared on his face, 'There is no son of heaven, and the king is bullied', these eight words stabbed the key point of Yuan Zai!

Li Yu pondered for a moment, then took a pen and wrote a note and handed it to the chamberlain, "Go to the main workshop and give this note to Li An, the chief steward of the imperial merchants." ”

.......

As soon as the morning dawned, Guo Song, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed and plucking exercises, was awakened by a rush of footsteps outside the tent.

"Qi Qi Changshi, the military department is here, I want to see the long history."

Coming so early, will it be the news that will bring Li Shi?

Guo Song came to the Taoist guest hall, only to see two officials sitting in the guest hall, one of them was Liu Ji, seeing Guo Song come in, Liu Ji rushed up and said: "May I ask if it is General Guo Song Guo?" ”

Guo Song was slightly stunned, but saw Liu Ji with his back to another official, and glanced at him.

Guo Song hurriedly hugged his fists and said, "It's Guo Song down there!" ”

"Let me introduce, Liu Ji, a member of the subordinate department, this is Yu Langzhong, the secretary of the Ministry of War, and we are here to visit General Guo on the order of His Royal Highness the Prison State."

Guo Song nodded, "Please sit down first!" ”

The three of them sat down, this time it was Lang Zhong of the military department who sat in front, Liu Ji sat down below Lang Zhong, a Taoist boy served them tea, and Yu Zhengyuan of the military department said slowly: "His Royal Highness is very concerned about the situation of the soldiers of the Western Expedition, and specially takes care of the military department to handle this matter well, the soldiers who died in battle should be heavily compensated, and the surviving soldiers should also be rewarded, so Xie Shilang of the military department specially asked us to visit General Guo, first, to see what difficulties the soldiers have, and secondly, we need a report on General Guo's western expedition, which we present to His Royal Highness, The third is to ask General Guo to provide us with a list of soldiers, including detailed information on the fallen and surviving soldiers. ”

Guo Song quickly glanced at Liu Ji, and saw that his palm slowly opened, and there was a word on his palm: 'Yuan', Guo Song immediately understood, it was not His Royal Highness Li Shi who was the prisoner, but Yuan Zai asked them to come, did he want to get the roster?

Guo Song said lightly: "Thank you for the Ministry of War's concern for us, has the Ministry of War officially approved the matter of the envoy?" I don't know what name I plan to give to someone Guo? ”

"This ..... The Ministry of War is still studying the establishment of the project, but it is necessary to prepare some preliminary information, especially we have to report to His Royal Highness the Prison State, and we need relevant information. ”

Guo Song laughed, "The mission is over, the project is just a make-up, what else is there to study, so let's do it!" As for the official report and the roster, I will hand it over to the Son of Heaven, who has given me a mission, and as the special envoy of the Son of Heaven, I must report to the Son of Heaven. ”

"Understandably, does that roster give us a copy as well?"

Guo Song shook his head, "I'm sorry, the roster can't be given!" ”

"Why?" Lang Zhong Yu Zhengyuan asked in astonishment.

Guo Song already understood in his heart that the other party actually wanted the roster, could it be that Yuan Zai wanted to attack his subordinates?

He sneered in his heart and said lightly: "I didn't see the official documents of the Ministry of War, nor did I see any explanation given to me by the Ministry of War, I just want to blindly ask for it, which is unacceptable to me!" ”

Yu Zhengyuan's face became gloomy, "General Guo keeps saying that the imperial court is unfair to you, but now that the military department cares about you, but you don't cooperate, what do you want to do?" ”

"I told ......"

Guo Song's tone was still very flat, but he did not back down, "Everything has a first and then a second, the project is established first, the imperial court makes a decision, clarifies the position, and then I submit an official report and a list of the dead, it's as simple as that!" ”

Yu Zhengyuan stood up, "Since this is the case, there is no need for us to continue talking." ”

Guo Song took a copy of the report and gave it to him, "I would like to ask Yu Langzhong to forward a copy of this report to His Royal Highness the Prison State." ”

Yu Zhengyuan took the copy and gave Liu Ji a look, and the two of them left the guest hall quickly, without even saying goodbye.

When leaving the guest hall, Liu Ji threw a ball of paper into the corner with his hands behind his back and the moment he stepped out of the threshold.

……….

Guo Song walked to the door of the Taoist temple and watched the two and several retinues ride away, and then unfolded the paper ball, and hastily wrote a sentence inside, "Yuan Zai wants to dismiss the soldiers and return to their hometown." ’

At this time, Li Ji, who had only come back last night, stepped forward and asked, "What did the military department say?" ”

"They used the pretext that they were commissioned by His Highness the Prison State, but they were actually sent by Yuan Zai to ask for a detailed roster of our soldiers."

"How did Changshi know that it was sent by Yuan Zai?"

"One of them and I know each other in Lingzhou, in fact, you should have also heard of the former Yanzhou Sima Liu Ji."

Li Ji suddenly realized that it was this person, he had indeed heard of it, but he was not very familiar with it.

Guo Song handed him the note, and Li Ji frowned, "Why did Yuan Zai dismiss our soldiers?" ”

Guo Song said coldly: "This is Yuan Zai taking revenge on me, the meritorious soldiers were dismissed and got nothing, which is tantamount to ruining my reputation and making me feel a heavy sense of guilt, this is what Yuan Zai wants." ”

Li Ji was a little worried: "I'm afraid that the Ministry of War will get the roster from other channels, as far as I know, there is a detailed roster of us on the side of the Shence Army, and it should be placed in the Ministry of War now." ”

Guo Song nodded, "No wonder that Yu Langzhong didn't force me to take out the roster, I guess he already has the roster in his hand, he just wants to know which soldiers died and which soldiers survived, there is no distinction on the roster of the Shence Army." ”

"No way!"

Li Ji said decisively: "I'll go and have a good talk with the soldiers, this matter must not let Yuan Zai succeed!" ”

Li Ji turned around and went back, Guo Song saw Qingfeng standing aside and stopped talking, so he smiled and said, "What do you want to say?" ”

Qingfeng stepped forward and bowed, "Uncle Qiqi, someone came to report just now, saying that Li An, the steward of the Imperial Merchant, invited you to go to the main workshop at noon, and there is something very important." ”

Guo Song was slightly stunned, what is the matter with Ang Li looking for himself?
