Chapter 43: The Day of Coronation, Before the Great Ceremony
Tianlan 306, April 19, cloudy.
Today is the day of King Song's coronation ceremony, but when it was approaching, Zhang Yu still did not move, which couldn't help but make the only maid in the Prime Minister's Mansion a little puzzled.
On weekdays, no matter how late the prime minister sleeps, he will wake up before the end of the day, and there has never been an exception. How could it be that on such an important day, Cheng fell asleep on the contrary?
The maid walked gently to the door of the study and attached her ear to it. Hearing the snoring inside, she pushed open the door with some tears and laughter.
As soon as she entered, a strong smell of wine hit her face. Although the interior of the house is not a mess, it is still messy compared to the previous neatness. Of the two wine glasses that Zhang Yu treasured, one of them fell to the ground for some reason, the other was on the table, and the wine jug brought by Zhang Yi also fell to the ground crookedly.
It was the first time the maid had seen this kind of scene in front of her. She was stunned, and then walked towards the middle-aged man in black shirt who was sleeping at the desk.
"Prime Minister, wake up."
The maid shook Zhang Yu, who was still asleep, "It's not early, and the palace is still waiting for the prime minister." ”
"Hmm..."
Zhang Yu opened his eyes.
"Thank you."
He took the towel handed by the maid, then wiped his face, and the whole person suddenly sobered up.
"What time is it?"
"Prime Minister, it's almost time."
When Zhang Yu heard this, he hurriedly got up from the ground, stuffed the paper on the table in his arms, pulled his legs and left, and muttered: "Drinking is wrong, drinking is wrong..."
"Prime minister, slow down."
The maid looked at Zhang Yu's hurried appearance and couldn't help but be a little funny.
Zhang Yu, the left minister who has always been known for his rigor, will have such a day.
"Ah, yes."
As if remembering something, the maid shouted at Zhang Yu's back: "Prime Minister, what should I do with Master Zhang?" ”
Zhang Yi is still lying on the floor right now, after all, she is the head of the Zhang family and the prime minister's brother, she really doesn't dare to wake him up without authorization.
"It's a rare opportunity, so let him sleep well."
Zhang Yu looked back and smiled.
……
Song Palace.
Seven or eight neatly draped armor soldiers stood tall in front of the palace gate, and in the middle of them stood a young general.
The young man's name is Mo Xiaoming, and he is the general of Tianlan who was selected for Zhang Yu a few days ago. He was born white and pure, and his appearance was quite delicate, and he didn't look like a martial artist who could hold a knife and a gun.
However, contrary to his weak appearance, Mo Xiaoming was particularly crazy on the field, and he had more than a dozen of them in the previous battles.
It was precisely because of this fierce exploit that he was discovered by Guo Yu and then promoted. In the end, he became the very eye-catching General Tianlan.
Although there are also reasons for Mo Xiaoming's outstanding ability, he has no background at all, and he can directly jump from an ordinary centurion to the position of a general, which must be said to be lucky.
And Mo Xiaoming naturally knew about it, and while he was very worried about Guo Yu and Zhang Yu, he was also working harder and harder. Even if it is something like guarding the palace gate, he has to personally lead the team.
Mo Xiaoming

He frowned slightly.
Due to the coronation, most of the officials of the DPRK and China came to the palace early, and now that it is the hour, why are they still not seeing Guo Yu and Zhang Yu?
He didn't recognize most of the other officials, but these two people, Mo Xiaoming remembered them vividly.
While thinking about it, a civil official in a black official uniform suddenly appeared in front of him, walking hurriedly towards the palace gate.
"Stand..."
"No, you don't."
Mo Xiaoming, who saw the appearance of the civil official clearly, stretched out his hand to restrain his subordinates, and then hugged his fist towards the civil official and said, "Prime Minister." ”
"Hmm."
Zhang Yu smiled at him and nodded.
Seeing the guards get out of the way, Zhang Yu walked into the palace gate.
When he entered the main hall, there were already many people standing in the hall.
"Your Excellency."
"The prime minister is here."
"Prime Minister."
Seeing Zhang Yu coming, the officials in the hall greeted him one after another, and Zhengyi also responded with a smile one by one.
Zhang Yu turned his gaze around, and sure enough, he didn't see Wang Wudi and other Wang generals.
He said casually: "There are a few people who came here today." ”
"Isn't it?"
Taichang Sun Bo shrugged his shoulders, "Not only did the Wang family's gang not come, but General Heizhu didn't show up for some reason. But even if the Wang family doesn't care, Pang Xiang didn't come..."
"Pang Xiang has not arrived?"
Zhang Yu seemed a little surprised.
"Not to mention Pang Xiang, even General Zhengnan didn't come."
Sun Bo said: "But it doesn't matter, there is still a long time before noon, as long as you can come over before that, it's a big deal to send someone to their house to urge them after a while." ”
……
Conquer the South General's Mansion.
Guo Yu, who had two dark circles under his eyes, didn't move, letting Qiaoxi's dexterous hands fiddle with him.
"On such an important day, how could the general wake up at such a time, and he still looks listless." Qiaoxi, who was serving Guo Yu's dressing, suddenly put his chin on Guo Yu's shoulder and asked softly.
"It's not because of the two of you."
Guo Yu pursed his lips and said angrily: "Don't talk nonsense, if it weren't for the fact that this official uniform was too troublesome to wear, where would I still need your help." ”
"It's like it's all our fault."
Qiaoxi's appearance was a little aggrieved.
"It's not your fault, is it General Ben's fault?"
"But we didn't take care of the general."
Qiaoxi's eyes were full of resentment: "General, didn't you run away in the end." ”
"Nonsense, if you don't run, are you waiting to be eaten and wiped clean?"
Recalling last night's scene, Guo Yu still couldn't help but feel his heart beating.
If he hadn't slapped himself in the face on the spot, and then ran out of the room, I'm afraid he would have had to fight. At that time, even if the sun is three poles, you may not wake up.
After all, after seeing such a fragrant scene, it is strange that I can sleep peacefully. He had fallen asleep close to dawn, and that was the reason for his mental distress at the moment.
"I said General."
Qiaoxi looked down at Guo Yu's lower body
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
"Can't you?" ”
"Ahh
Guo Yu unceremoniously flicked Qiaoxi's forehead, and the latter let out a miserable scream.
"If you dare to talk nonsense again, be careful that General Ben will whip you."
Guo Yu pursed his lips.
General Ben can't? Are you kidding.
He looked down as well.
From last night to this morning, the spear is still around, okay?!
Qiaoxi covered her forehead and said, "Then why don't you eat slaves!" ”
"It's illegal to eat people."
"I'm serious!" Qiaoxi stared at Guo Yu tightly, and tears gradually appeared in her eyes.
"Do you hate us? Think we're disgusting? ”
"No, Xiaolonglong is much more disgusting than you, I don't dislike it... Of course, I'm not saying you're disgusting. ”
"Is that because our sisters are shallow? Can't get into the eyes of the general? ”
"Shallow?"
Guo Yu rolled his eyes at her, "What do you look like, and you don't have any points in your heart?" It's still shallow, are you worthy of the nosebleed I had last night? ”
Qiaoxi bit her lip tightly, "Then why don't you touch us?" ”
"Is this something you can touch casually?"
Guo Yu frowned and said, "You didn't do that because you liked me. ”
"We..."
"Don't do that again."
Guo Yu stood up, threw aside the ordinary official uniform on his body, picked up the white robe on the shelf and put it on.
"I have taken you in, not for your bodies. Even if you don't, I won't hand you over to the royal family. ”
Guo Yu said slowly: "So you don't need to be like this at all. ”
"But..."
"I said when I came, you can do whatever you want, don't think too much."
Guo Yu smiled: "On the Wang family's side, I will solve it." Whether you want to leave or stay at that time is up to you. If you go, I will have you sent out of the north; It doesn't matter if you stay, I have a fortune, and it's very easy to raise you. When you have a sweetheart, you can marry again, and I will have the right to have two more sisters. ”
“……”
Qiaoxi lowered her head, and the whole person fell silent.
"It's getting late, it's time for me to go."
Guo Yu shouted: "Qianxi, is the tea ready?" ”
He hadn't slept well all night, and today's ceremony would take a lot of time, and if he was sleepy, it would be really miserable. The tea brewed by Qianxi is cool and delicious, and it is very refreshing. If you have a drink, it won't be so hard later.
“……”
Seeing that no one responded, Guo Yu shouted again: "Qianxi? ”
“… All right. ”
As soon as the words fell, I saw Qianxi holding a cup of tea and slowly walking into the house.
Her face hung down, her expression indistinct, and the hand holding the cup seemed to tremble.
Seeing her like this, Guo Yu quipped: "Why, you didn't sleep well?" ”
“… Well. ”
Qianxi raised her head and smiled a little reluctantly: "The slave slept a little late last night... Yes! ”
Perhaps because she was distracted by her speech, she didn't pay attention, and the teacup slipped out of her hand.
