Chapter 180: Passing through the Ye Capital
The horse's hooves stepped on the weeds covered with hoarfrost at a uniform speed, riding on the horse, and Guo Rong's figure shook slightly as he walked forward. There are only a few horses around him, as a military envoy of Zhenning, a town festival, Guo Rong's travel pomp is just like what he wears, it is very simple.
"Except when the disaster was alleviated, my subordinates have never seen the king feel so happy!" The handsome Pan Mei drove the horse to follow him and said to Guo Rong with a smile.
"Huh?" Subconsciously touching his cheek, Guo Rong smiled and asked, "Zhong Xun can also see my mood?" ”
Pan Mei nodded and said, "It's beyond words!" ”
After a breath of relief, Guo Rong regained his majesty and said, "Tell me about it, where does my joy come from?" ”
"Does the envoy want to test me with this?" Pan Mei immediately responded: "Although I have seen the ugliness, when facing the king, I can also see that the Son of Heaven values the cronies of the envoy, which is a confidant and a minister!" ”
Glancing at Pan Mei, Guo Rong didn't have much surprise on his face, but his eyes flashed lightly, and he said with an inexplicable emotion: "The honor is very frightening, how can I repay Guo and the Guo family......
Guo Rong's voice was very low, Pan Mei didn't hear it too clearly, and couldn't help but cast a puzzled look.
Guo Rong seemed to be thoughtful, and looked at Ma Renyu, who was still showing immaturity on the other side, the young man's expression was serious, as if he was learning from him on weekdays, but his ears were pricked up and he listened carefully.
Pan Mei and Ma Renyu both defected to the army when Guo Rong was exiled to Lanzhou two years ago, and they were discovered by Guo Rong's insight, excavated in the army, and collected under the account, thinking that they were cronies. Pan Mei is a few years younger than Guo Rong, but she is calm, assertive, and very organized.
As for Ma Renyu, he was even younger, he was not yet fifteen years old when he followed Guo Rong, he had a heroic personality and was tired of learning martial arts. However, the strength of the fierce generals has been revealed, and after two years of growth, his strength has increased greatly, which is very amazing.
Guo Rong attaches great importance to these two people, often takes them with him, and cultivates them carefully.
Gently slapping the reins on the horse's neck, Guo Rong thought for a while, and said to the two: "You have been with me for two years, although Lanzhou is an important town of the big river, but it is in the hinterland of the Han Dynasty, although the world is broken, with the current state of gradual tranquility, but there is not much use. Zhong Xun is known for his wisdom and strategy, Ren Yu is brave and martial, all of them are handsome in the world, and if you follow me, I am afraid that I will delay you. I would like to recommend you to the Tokyo Forbidden Army as a general, to seek a career, and to establish a meritorious ......."
Guo Rong said that, even though Ma Renyu was in a hurry, his face turned red, and he asked loudly: "Is this trying to drive me and the two of you away?" If the two of us are at fault, please make it clear to you, and you will change it. Please also ask you to take back your fate. ”
Ma Renyu and Pan Mei were both impressed by Guo Rong's ability and bearing, and they were a little puzzled by his prominent remarks.
Compared with Ma Renyu's straightforwardness, Pan Mei was calmer, frowned and thought about it, and said, "Don't you have other considerations?" Or is it related to this face? ”
Looking at Pan Mei who was contemplating, Guo Rong couldn't help but secretly praise her cleverness, but he had no intention of explaining too much. In any case, there is no doubt about it that they will seek a career for the two.
Seeing that Guo Rong refused to speak, Pan Mei said again: "The two of us are now pawns under the king's account, and they are not named, even if they go to Tokyo, I am afraid it will be difficult to get ahead." If you want to make a contribution, I'm afraid it's better to follow you and earn the merit of suppressing bandits and thieves and protecting the territory and the people! ”
"Exactly! Brother Zhong Xun is very right! Ma Renyu hurriedly agreed.
Obviously, neither Pan Mei nor Ma Renyu wanted to leave Guo Rong, the benefactor.
Regarding Pan Mei's consideration, Guo Rong waved his hand directly and said: "My father is the chief officer of the Privy Council, and he is in charge of the military aircraft, I will send a letter, please take care of it, are you still afraid that you two boys will not be able to arrange well?" ”
When he said this, Guo Rong couldn't help but have a little contemplation on his face, as if he was worried.
Pan Mei and Ma Renyu opened their mouths and wanted to speak, but Guo Rong raised his hand to stop them, and said solemnly: "I have made up my mind, don't push and prevaricate again." Moreover, last night I recommended you before the Son of Heaven, and Your Majesty allowed it. Do you want to make me guilty of deceit? ”
"This ......"
As soon as Guo Rong said this, Pan Mei and Ma Renyu looked at each other dumbfounded, showing reluctance, but they didn't dare to say more.
People have no immediate worries, but must have long-term concerns. Guo Rongzi is a very smart person, and there are also discussions about the Guo family in his correspondence with his father Guo Wei on weekdays. His father and son, one inside and one outside, are in power, and they are highly favored, and among the foreign ministers, the momentum is more prominent than others, which has been talked about.
Because of this, his father and son coincidentally want to be low-key and cautious. This time, it can be seen that Liu Chengyou's attitude towards him has not changed much, and he is even more affectionate than before. However, this cannot hide that under Liu Chengyou's "goodwill" appearance, the deeper the city, the more unpredictable it becomes.
Last night, he often talked with the Son of Heaven and talked about military politics, Liu Chengyou understated it, and the self-confidence and unquestionable he inadvertently shown, the kind of ambition that was so strong that he swallowed the world, and now I recall it, I still remember it vividly.
At the beginning of the farewell fashion and call it His Royal Highness, the day of goodbye, has become Your Majesty. This is probably the biggest difference between before and after.
......
Pass through the capital and enter the Yuan City.
This is the first city that Liu Chengyou entered since his northern tour. Ye Du stayed in Gao Xing Zhou to subordinate Wu Qiying, Liu Chengyou did not refuse this time, and put on a little pomp, after all, coming from the north to show his emperor's sense of existence is also one of the political goals. In an important city like Yedu, the effect of brushing the sense of presence will be much greater.
In order to show his trust and honor to his old father-in-law, Liu Chengyou invited him to take a ride with him and enter the city together. Gao Xingzhou distinguished himself from respect and humility, and refused to make a statement, but he couldn't bear the toughness of the Son of Heaven, and he was moved and grateful, and respectfully drove up.
In the simply renovated Ye Palace, Liu Chengyou met with civil and military generals, inspected the military and politics, paid attention to the people's livelihood, and made a public speech with the central idea of "the way of government and the way of the king", which inspired the top and bottom and achieved good results......
He also issued an edict and found a group of people covering all industries in Yedu to enter the palace, personally received them, and asked them about the people's life and made them explain the problems and difficulties as a reference for his future governance......
Of course, the above is just a formality.
In the evening, after returning from the royal banquet in Ye Palace, Gao Huaide took a leave of absence and personally helped his father back home. Holding his father, he could obviously feel that Gao Xingzhou's body bones were not as tough as before. After all, when you are old, you have repeated hidden injuries, and you have a heavy task in the military, politics and customs.
The original joy turned into words of concern.
Sitting in the back hall, Gao Xingzhou looked at his son in the armor of the forbidden army, and asked directly, "How is your sister?" ”
"It's August when I'm pregnant, and I'm about to give birth at the end of the year, and my father will have a grandson from heaven......"
