Chapter 109: Uninvited Guest

The flirtatious words of this girl on the execution ground still echo in my ears today. Guo Li couldn't help but hug the spring water, "Is it okay to be served by the spring water for a while?" ”

Chunshui didn't understand why his uncle went out to fight and came back, he was much bolder, and his heart was like a deer and he whispered: "The slave is willing to serve..."

Guo Li let go of the spring water and walked into the room, where Baguio was talking to Qinglian. When it comes to age, the two were born in the same year, and Qinglian is a few months older than Baguio.

"Baguio, although Qinglian is a little older, Baguio is advanced, and Guo Mansion is naturally bigger than Baguio."

"Sister Qinglian, the emperor decreed that he would equal his wife, you and I don't care about the size, we will talk about Qinglian as my sister according to the age."

Other people's backhouses are trying to grab the position of the lady, and Baguio and the princess are humble and harmonious with each other, which is what Guo Li is happy to see. As the saying goes, family and everything is prosperous, and stability and harmony are the real family.

"It's time for my uncle to take a bath." After saluting the two ladies, Chunshui looked at Guo Li with resentment.

Guo Li lay in the wooden barrel and enjoyed the pleasure of bathing, and his heart was extremely unsettled. The emperor decreed that he would be a marquis, and Guo Li suddenly realized that he had become a marquis. The Hou Ye in the TV series is majestic, why didn't the princess and Meng Haoran have much reaction to Feng Hou? Guo Li wanted to be tired for a quarter of an hour, the heat in the barrel lingered, and a few yawns immediately eliminated the fatigue of the whole day. Guo Li likes to soak in hot water, and occasionally suffers from minor illnesses such as typhoid fever.

Chunshui is wearing a skirt that is half-revealing in spring, with the front and back exposed, and the underwear is visible. Poor Chunshui's thoughts were all in vain, and the unscrupulous people in the bucket closed their eyes and recuperated, and they never saw the beautiful scenery of the maids around them.

Just now, Guo Li was very generous and let Chunshui's clothes be untied, even the hidden parts were allowed to be seen by Chunshui. Guo Li walked around the execution ground, and after a series of battles, he let go of his heart knot. Now that you're here, why not relax and enjoy life, there's no need to worry too much.

Chunshui absentmindedly sprinkled flower petals into the water, and didn't hear Chunshui speak for a long time, Guo Li asked, "How are you doing in the house these days?" ”

The wooden man finally spoke.

"Everything is fine at home, my uncle goes to war, and the young lady worries every day, and burns incense and prays for my uncle almost every day. In the past two months, I have been heavy, and I invited Guanyin Bodhisattva to my home and prayed for my uncle at home every day. My uncle was good, he didn't say a letter to the family for a few months when he went out, and he was still taking a concubine outside. ”

Chunshui obviously didn't know that it was the princess who entered the door.

"The beacon fire has been in March for three months, and the family letter is worth ten thousand gold, I haven't seen it for a few months, and the spring water seems to have become bigger."

"Nonsense, what's getting bigger?" Chunshui was secretly proud, and changed his eye-catching clothes in vain, only to see at this time that Chunshui pinched someone's shoulder.

"Ahh It's so comfortable. Someone said happily.

Chunshui has little strength, and even if it is hard, it doesn't have much strength.

"How long has it been since my uncle's hair has been washed? The slave maid washes the uncle's hair. "Spring water brings fresh hot water.

After washing his hair, Guo Li was comfortable all over his body.

"Chunshui, does Xia Jiang have a favorite man?" Guo Li thought of Prince Yiran, and secretly felt that he would see Prince Yiran again.

"There are so many people in the house, where is Xia Jiang going to find a man? Did the lord take a fancy to Xia Jiang? A thick sense of vinegar filled the air.

"This time I met the prince of the Chuyue tribe on the grassland, handsome and dashing, if there is a fate, Xia Jiang may be suitable."

Chunshui heard that it was none of his business, so he pondered for Xia Jiang.

"Xia Jiang has read poetry books since he was a child, and people who have not seen it may say for sure, if this prince comes, Xia Jiang may have a drama after watching it."

"Spring water is not rare, prince? This prince was thousands of miles away in the steppes. ”

"Who is rare and what prince, Chunshui likes to stay by his aunt and young lady's side." Chunshui didn't know that Guo Li was made a marquis by the emperor.

Guo Li has never regarded Chunshui and Xia Jiang as subordinates, and he is still anxious to find a good home for the two maidservants. Hearing Chunshui say this, Guo Li didn't dare to take it upon himself to find something to do with this girl.

"Spring water, take cool clothes."

Seeing that it was hot, I didn't feel much heat on the grassland, and I was sweating when I returned to Chang'an.

Guo Li stood up from the bucket, Chunshui didn't mind that someone was naked, and took a towel to gently wipe the water stains on his body, even the murderous thing under his crotch. Guo Li enjoyed Yanfu without any care, just because he had already regarded Chunshui as a close person.

Dressed and tied a jade belt for his uncle, Chunshui complained: "Big liar...... Promise people's words and don't count. Although the voice was small, it was heard by Guo Li. Guo Li was stunned, when did he deceive someone? Is it referring to the princess's entry into the palace? Guo Li was about to explain, when he heard Chunshui finish the second half of the sentence.

Guo Li remembered the words that casually promised Chunshui on the execution ground that day, and at this moment, Xiao Nizi was obviously angry, and hugged Chunshui into her arms with a soft heart.

"It's been hard these days," Guo Li said with sincerity from the heart, and it was this that moved Chunshui. Let's ask which master speaks so to the slave and maid, and which master treats the maid politely?

"Slaves and maids are not hard, but the master is called hard when he fights outside."

The change of title has aggravated the feelings in the air, Guo Li understands Chunshui's thoughts, and the maid in his arms is full of charms, and if he doesn't give some sweetness, I'm afraid he will have to think crankily. So I moved up with my fingertips and stopped in the mountains, and the scenery in the mountains was like poetry and the ravines were distinct. Nizi was satisfied and paralyzed in the arms of the old man, and there was spring between her eyebrows.

"Does this count as fulfilling the promise to Chunshui?" Guo Li let go of Nizi in his arms and straightened the skirt for her.

"Think beautifully", running out of the house like a spring water......

Front hall meeting room.

Guo Li was refreshed, and there was still a faint body fragrance of spring water on his fingers. Picking up the tea, when he was about to drink it, he saw Meng Haoran come in, put down the teacup and said, "There is something to ask Brother Meng to decide." ”

"What's the matter?" Meng Haoran heard that Guo Li had something to discuss, and hurriedly came over.

"After the princess entered the mansion, this courtyard was a little cramped, what did Brother Meng think?"

"The emperor decreed that Feng Ziyi should be the marquis of Liyang County, and it is inappropriate to change the mansion at this time."

"Why is that?"

"Since the emperor has made it clear that Ziyi will be the Hou, the household department should arrange the Hou Mansion for Ziyi as usual, and if Ziyi changes the mansion before the household department, it will definitely attract the impeachment of the imperial history."

Meng Haoran hit the nail on the head, and waited for the new Hou Mansion to come down, and it would be a few months later. Even so, Guo Li could only wait,

"This time Tubo was defeated, it is difficult to take action in ten years, does Brother Meng consider withdrawing the political order from the Western Regions?"

"What do you mean?" Of course, Meng Haoran had considered planting eyes and ears in the Western Regions, but it had lost its original meaning. Tubo is weak, and the Tang Dynasty is in the limelight.

Guo Li brought a map pointing to Chang'an and Liaodong. At the beginning, the purpose of Guo Lijian's intelligence network was to collect all kinds of news from the Tang Dynasty, but because it was not good to talk to Meng Haoran, he spread the intelligence network in the Western Regions under the pretext of collecting news from Tubo and the Western Regions, and established a political order. Now that Tibet has been defeated, the focus of the decree has lost its original meaning when it is put back on the Western Regions.

"Ziyi's meaning is clear, Chang'an City is an internal trouble, an external disaster in Liaodong. Ziyi was relieved that the Western Regions administrative decree was withdrawn, and for a maximum of two months, the administrative decrees of Chang'an and Liaodong were operating normally. ”

"The Fifth Valley has made a lot of achievements in the past few months, do you want Ziyi to listen to it?"

The Fifth Valley? What's new about this kid?

"The owner of the world-wide miscellaneous teahouse in Chang'an City has changed." Meng Haoran said leisurely.

The world's miscellaneous teahouse is the teahouse where Meng Haoran stayed before, and the old shopkeeper has already retired, but unfortunately there is no suitable person to take over. At this moment, I heard the teahouse replacement that the world talked about, and I knew that it should have been won in the first place. The gossip in the world basically belongs to public opinion, and Guo Li knows how influential public opinion is.

"Replace it with whom? Could it be the Fifth Valley? Guo Li couldn't believe it.

"Fifth Valley bought the Tianxia Miscellaneous Teahouse in Chang'an, and then opened branches in Yuzhou and Luoyang, and this kid plans to open 20 teahouses across the country. Nominally a teahouse, it is actually the contact point of the bookstore in various places. Goya added a study room to the teahouse and provided a variety of books to tea customers for free, and the teahouse business became more and more prosperous. ”

"The emperor intends to seal Zen in Mount Tai, what does Brother Meng think is the mystery in it?"

"According to the news of the Political Affairs Garden, last year Zhang said that he would ask Taishan to seal the Zen, and now Ziyi has defeated Tubo, repelled the Mur Wei, and expanded the territory, how can the ministers of the DPRK and the Central Government let go of this opportunity?"

"Master Hou, someone outside the door asks to see you." Steward Gou came to report.

"Wang Wei?" How could this new champion Guozi Supervisor suddenly visit?

When Guo Li heard that Wang Wei was named "Prisoner" by the emperor, he snickered in his heart for a long time. At first glance, the eunuch and the traitor have the same pronunciation.

After Wang Wei sat down, Guo Li instructed his subordinates to serve tea. For the big talent in front of him, since it was passed on as a good story, Guo Li has more respect.

"The lower officials heard that Lord Guo returned to Beijing to avoid hundreds of officials, and made a detour to meet the saint, and was named a county marquis by the emperor to congratulate the marquis." Wang Wei opened his mouth.

"Lord Wang is polite, Guo has always respected Maha's talent." Guo Li said it from the heart. After several embarrassments, Guo Li didn't dare to say anything "admiration... For a long time...", for fear of misunderstanding.

"The lower officials came to specially invite the Hou Ye to participate in the banquet of the second prince tomorrow night, this is an invitation." Wang Wei placed the gilt invitation on the table.

"What banquet?"

"The emperor established Lizheng Academy, and the two princes shared the emperor's worries, and invited celebrities from all over the world to come and discuss together."

"Lai Cheng Academy? Isn't there a Lizheng Academy in Luoyang? Guo Li asked. The difference of one word, just a change of name.

"Hou Ye didn't know, the fifth year of Kaiyuan set up the Qianyuan Academy, and in the sixth year of Kaiyuan, it was changed to Lizheng Academy, which was mainly based on book collection, and changed to Lizheng Academy to repair books, and now the Shengshang built Lizheng Academy, which is supplemented by books and teaching." Wang Wei explained.

After Wang Wei's explanation, Guo Li understood. At first, it was a library, then it became the Institute of Literature and History, and now it has become a national university such as Tsinghua University and Peking University.

"It's better to be respectful than to obey." Guo Li accepted the post, and Wang Wei took his leave.

"Sir, what do you want to see the second prince?" Guo Li asked, the so-called sharing worries for the emperor is an excuse, what is the real purpose?

"It's about the prince, why don't you invite the princess to discuss together?" Meng Haoran proposed.

Princess Wan'an was very unhappy to come.

"Husband, Qinglian is chatting with the Baguio girl, why is it so urgent?"

"The second prince will hold a banquet tomorrow, and the invitation sent by Wang Wei on behalf of the second prince, what does Qinglian think is the reason?"

Wan An has lived in the palace for a long time and is very familiar with these things.

"It's not all Ziyi's fault." The princess sat down and said softly.

"Me?" Guo Li was depressed, everything has something to do with me, and the taste of lying down and being shot is not comfortable.

"Before Ziyi set out on the expedition, there were rumors in the palace that the ministers of the court and the central government advised his father, Emperor Taishan, to seal the Zen. The eunuchs and maids in the palace thought about how to go out of the palace with the holy driver. The huge palace is still too small compared to the outside world. Ziyi defeated Tubo, his father's civil and martial arts were barely able to go to Mount Tai to seal Zen, how could the likes of the civil and military officials, led by Lord Zhang, let go of such a great opportunity? What's more, Ziyi defeated Muwei in the grassland, and the Xiaohai area was under the jurisdiction of the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate. With the martial arts of civil governance and the expansion of the territory, the father Taishan Feng Zen is afraid that it is a sure thing. ”

The princess told her that this matter is really directly related to Guo Li. Although some people asked the emperor Taishan to seal Zen before, Li Longji thought that his virtue was not enough to seal Zen. Now that Guo Li has opened up his territory and created martial arts, when the ministers persuade him again, this matter will come naturally.

"What does this matter have to do with the second prince?"

The princess glanced at Guo Li, although her husband was strategizing to win a thousand miles, his sensitivity to court politics was really dull. Strategizing the world is like a game between two people, and those who are good at strategizing pay attention to the overall situation and go far. It seems that the husband can only charge and kill the enemy on the battlefield, and above the court, the princess really can't rest assured.

"Mount Tai sealed Zen, and my father was out of the palace for a few months." The princess reminded her husband again.

Eight tricks understood seven tricks Guo Li still didn't know anything, and looked at the princess with a blank expression and waited for the following.

"The emperor has been out of the palace for a few months, and someone needs to supervise the country in the court, could it be that the princess is referring to the position of the crown prince?" Meng Haoran reacted.

"The second prince used the banquet to please his father, hum..."The princess has always supported the eldest prince, but unfortunately the mother's low status in the harem cannot help the royal brother, and now she was born and practiced by her father's decree, and she can no longer show her face in front of the world.

"Since in order to win the emperor's favor, isn't it the emperor's intention to pass on the crown prince's position to the second prince?"

"The imperial brother has been leading troops abroad for many years, and the father has not summoned the imperial brother back to Beijing for a long time, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that the father has no intention of the imperial brother." Wan An said helplessly. In the past, I always wanted to do something for the imperial brother, and the ministers of the DPRK and China tried to do their best, but the current situation is really powerless.

Guo Li understood that Li Longji's Taishan Feng Zen led to the princes seizing the heirs. Historical records record that in the Anshi Rebellion, the crown prince Li Heng was proclaimed emperor in Lingzhou, and Li Longji had to abdicate in Shuzhong. Guo Li originally wanted to go with the flow, but his coming to Datang has caused many things to change. Under the butterfly effect, the current history is no longer the original history. Guo Li's idea of self-preservation is actually already changing history, so why did he let Tu Lingsheng's Anshi Rebellion happen? Guo Li even thought about secretly raising Yang Yuhuan in the mansion and taking Yang Yuhuan as a concubine when he grew up.

Guo Li was originally a rootless duckweed, why not intentionally become a cornerstone of the Tang Dynasty? Thinking about it like this, he suddenly said: "In this life, you should be in the phase, and you should live up to the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty." ”

As soon as Guo Li opened his mouth, Meng Haoran and the princess were startled at the same time, who doesn't want to be in the picture? Meng Haoran heard Guo Li's ambition for the first time.

"Ziyi's ambitions are high, Meng admires!" Meng Haoran knew that Guo Li would not be untargeted, and at this moment, he felt that he must have an inner thought.

The princess opened her eyes wide, and looked at her husband with affection, who knew that Guo Li's words made the princess laugh.

"Why are the princess and Brother Meng so indifferent to the emperor's marquis?" This question is frustrated in my heart, the princess is from a rich background, and she doesn't look down on the marquis, and Meng Haoran is indifferent.

"Ziyi doesn't know that the founding of the Tang Dynasty is Manchu, whether it is a prince or a county marquis, only the title has no real power. Jiang Jiao was awarded the title of Duke of Chu for his work with the dragon in his early years, and was impeached for leaking secrets and was killed in court battles. ”
