Guo Song took a deep breath and said slowly: "Weichen lived up to His Majesty's trust, and after ups and downs and bloody battles, he finally completed the task. ”

Li Yu nodded, "I also didn't know that Guo Changshi had returned to Beijing not long ago, but my body is quite sick, and I have been recuperating, and I have only been a little embarrassed in the last two days, and I also heard that you and Yuan Xiangguo have some contradictions, so I think I should still meet you." ”

"Your Majesty can allow Wechen to go back and take the original copy of the report from the Western Regions and hand it to Your Majesty, Wechen really didn't know that His Majesty would meet him today."

"Go ahead! I just took a break. ”

Guo Song saluted and hurried back.

Li Yu took a sip of tea, and at this time, Li An walked in and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the old minister has just received the news that Guo Song resigned from the post of General Ning Yuan this morning and gave up the title of marquis, which His Royal Highness has approved. ”

"What!"

Li Yu suddenly slapped the table, "How can he do this?" ”

Li Yu suddenly coughed violently, and it took a while to stop, panting and saying, "How could the situation become so serious?" ”

"Your Majesty, the old minister heard that Yuan Zai had decided to remove General Guo Song Ningyuan from his official position, and asked His Royal Highness to deprive Guo Song of his title, but Guo Song took the lead and took the initiative to resign."

Li Yu closed his eyes, and said hatefully for a while: "This Yuan Zai is really disappointing to me!" ”

Li An said again: "His Royal Highness the Prison State probably didn't want to be caught in the middle and embarrassed, so he approved Guo Song to give up the title." ”

Li Yu said coldly: "The Imperial Court of Shi Dynasty, the governor of Anxi Jiedu, who was sealed, did not admit it, and the marquis and scattered officials of I sealed said that they would be deprived, could it be that in their eyes, I was really so easy to bully?" No one can ignore me. ”

"Your Majesty, Yuan Zai's flying and domineering is not a day or two, there was a Yu Chaoen before, he was still a little jealous, he didn't dare to do it too obviously, since Yu Chaoen was shoveled out, he basically controlled the government, Wang Jin and Yang Yan are his people, so as to ensure that he can win every time the Zhizheng Hall votes, he bends the law for personal gain, cronyism, and makes the court a miasma........"

Li An has also had a long-standing grudge against Yuan Zai, and he took this opportunity today to pour out all the dissatisfaction with Yuan Zai in his heart.

Li Yu waved his hand lightly, "Yuan Zai's character is much clearer than you, and the crimes he committed are also clear to me, you don't need to say more, hurry up and bring Guo Song in, I have something to find him." ”

"Obey!"

Li Ang bowed and went out.

For a moment, Li Yu seemed to be talking to himself and asked, "What do you think of Guo Song?" ”

A slightly hoarse voice came from behind him, "This person is not only strong in martial arts, but also extremely strategic, and even Yuan Zai was also played with in the palm of his hand." ”

Li Yu nodded, "You can see it too." ”

"Your Majesty, he is Xiang Zhuang Dancing Sword, which is intended for Pei Gong."

Li Yu laughed, "That's right, he found that he was trapped by the king of Zhao, and he would inevitably be jealous of King Lu, in order to clear the brand of the king party on his body, he deliberately made it difficult to create opportunities for Yuan Zaifa, resigned from all official positions, and got out beautifully." ”

"Your Majesty's eyes are still deep!"

"It's not that my eyes are deep, it's that he did it too obviously, and deliberately resigned to become a knight, maybe he wanted to express a certain attitude to King Lu!"

Not long after, Li An reported at the door, "Your Majesty Guo Song is back!" ”

"Come in!"

The door curtain was opened, Guo Song walked in from the outside quickly, bowed down and presented an official report to Li Yu, the Son of Heaven, "This is the official report of Weichen's mission to the Western Regions, please take a look at it, Your Majesty!" ”

Li Yu took the report and put it aside, and said with a smile: "This report is too long, wait for me to go back and read it slowly, Guo Song, I want to know, what are your plans now?" ”

Guo Song groaned and said: "Weichen wants to go out for a walk and take a look at the magnificent mountains and rivers of the Tang Dynasty." ”

Li Yu smiled slightly: "Do me another favor before leaving, is it okay?" ”

Guo Song knew that when Li Yu summoned him, it would never be as simple as just trying to appease himself, and there must be a deep meaning.

He hurriedly bowed down and said, "Weichen is willing to serve His Majesty!" ”

Li Yu nodded with satisfaction, took out a gold box and put it on the table, "What I need you to do is in the box, you go back and take a closer look for yourself, besides, is the gold medal I gave you still there?" ”

Guo Song was about to take out the gold medal, Li Yu smiled and waved his hand, "You don't need to take it out, I just want to tell you that the gold medal has many functions, for example, you can form an elite guard of no more than three hundred people, completely under your own command, like Gongsun Auntie, why can she create the Tibetan Sword Tower, it is because of this gold medal."

And the Eagle Strike Army under your command, why is there only 300 people, why is there no record in the military department, but it can exist, also because of this gold medal? The money and materials you need to form the guard are paid by the imperial merchants, you see! ”

"Wechen..... I see! ”

Guo Song now finally understands that Li An's so-called imperial businessmen are actually the institutions of Li Yu, the son of heaven, who are doing business and raising money in the people, and there are no other shareholders at all, such as the various personnel expenses of the Zangjian Pavilion, which are all allocated by Li An.

Li Yu said to Guo Song meaningfully: "Sometimes, forbearance and waiting are more meaningful than happy enmity, you are still young now, maybe you can't realize it, and one day, you will finally understand!" ”

After saying that, Li Yu got up to leave, and when two eunuchs came in to support him, Guo Song suddenly found that there was an extra gray-clothed man in the room, who followed Li Yu like a ghost, making Guo Song stunned.

At the moment when Li Yu left the room, the gray-clothed man suddenly glanced back at Guo Song, revealing half of his extremely pale face, smiled meaningfully, and the figure disappeared.

Guo Song immediately recognized that they had competed, it was the man in black who stabbed Liang Wu, if he guessed correctly, this person was Dou Xianlai, who was known as the number one master in the capital.

The Son of Heaven Li Yu left, Li An gently patted Guo Song's shoulder and said: "Although the Son of Heaven is not in good health, it does not mean that he does not pay attention to anything, everything that happens is clear to him, he makes you forbear, but forbearance does not mean that he swallows his anger, does not mean that he does nothing, you have to understand the deep meaning of the Son of Heaven?" Historically, no emperor has allowed his appointment to be ignored or overthrown. ”

Guo Song nodded, "Uncle An has a point, I want to ask, what's going on in Duobao Pavilion?" ”

Li An smiled dumbly and said: "You are very smart, not ordinary smart, Duobao Pavilion is indeed the property of the Son of Heaven, and it is the reward of the Son of Heaven to you, and I will not hide it from you until now, all the properties I am in charge of belong to the Son of Heaven, this is a big secret, not many people know about it, you must not tell Zhang Lei." ”

"I know in my heart that I won't leak it, Uncle An, I'll leave first."

Li An sent him out of the gate and said to him: "The Son of Heaven has allowed you to set up a guard battalion, and all the expenses will be borne by me, you can plan it yourself and give me a list." ”

"After bearing the expenses of the Hidden Sword Pavilion, and having to bear me here, will Uncle An's burden be too heavy?"

Li An laughed and said to Guo Song: "You underestimate the wealth of the Son of Heaven too much, do you know how much money I made on a trip to the grassland the year before last?" There are a total of 100,000 yuan before and after, not to mention that I still have more than 20 shops in my hands, as well as seven or eight imperial villages, each of which covers an area of thousands of hectares, will it not be able to support your hundreds of people? ”

At this time, the entourage brought the war horse, Guo Song turned over and said, "Thank you Uncle An, I'll go back first." ”

Li An smiled and waved his hand to him, and Guo Song urged the horse to leave the firm.......

Walking slowly, Guo Song slowly calmed down, thinking about Li Yu's situation today, although his face was sick and his spirit was indeed not very good, but to say that he was so sick that he could not manage the government and had to be handed over to King Lu to supervise the country, it seemed to be a little too much, Guo Song could basically judge that Li Yu was advancing by retreating, and he was planning deeply.

So much so that he remained silent about the injustices he had encountered, and watched coldly, Won Jae didn't seem to realize this, but went farther and farther on the road to attack himself.

Guo Song was suddenly full of interest in the gold box given to him by the Son of Heaven, what kind of secrets would be hidden in the gold box?

Guo Song returned all the way to the Taoist Temple, and there was still some distance from the Taoist Temple, only to see more than a dozen officials bow their hands to Li Ji to say goodbye, turn their horses' heads and gallop away, they didn't know Guo Song, and passed by Guo Song.
