The haze of the fall of Liangcheng spread from Yuguan to Yanjing, and by the way, he brought a letter of appointment from Yan Hu.

"This Yan Hu, I'm too anxious, I also admit that this kid Wuji is very good, but in recent months, his official position has been described as insufficient to go straight to the top, and now he wants to replace Ge Cheng'a and become the commander of the trapped army, don't you know the consequences of the seedlings?"

Jin Ran sat behind the desk in his office, holding the appointment chapter written by Yan Hu to the imperial military department, and complained helplessly to Gu Yanchuan who was sitting at the bottom, the official position of the imperial general, the general soldier can directly appoint the chief and the captain, the battalion commander can appoint the chief soldier, and the military commander can appoint the battalion marshal, these are all things that can be done without asking for instructions, and the intention is to deal with the complex and changeable military situation on the battlefield, such as the adjustment of the establishment or the reorganization of the number, so as to facilitate the commander-in-chief to carry out effective command and dispatch.

But at the level of military commander, even the commander of the corps does not have the right to be directly appointed, but must write a petition and report it to the military department of the imperial court, and then the military department will submit it to the actual supreme authority of the dynasty for approval, after all, at the level of military marshal, it is really a senior general of the empire, and he often has tens of thousands of troops in his hands, so he can't be cautious.

Under normal circumstances, there is no doubt that this supreme ruler is the emperor, but the current Yan State is a little surprised, because in the eyes of many ministers, they only recognize Jinran, and ignore Yan Shu as the emperor.

For example, this Gu Yanchuan who is sitting at the bottom of Jinran, in his heart, the real ruler of the current court is Anping Jun Jinran, who is sitting opposite him, not Yan Shuyi, who lives in the palace, so Gu Yanchuan immediately showed Yan Hu's book of requests to Jinran.

Jin Ran's words are not to say that he is unwilling to give Yan Wuji this position, in his impression, Yan Wuji and Jinhong have a good relationship, he often saw Yan Wuji before he went to Dingzhou, in general, he has a very good impression of this junior, but it is precisely because he cherishes his talents, so he is unwilling to see Yan Hu's way of promoting seedlings, and feels that this will harm Yan Wuji.

But when these words fell into Gu Yanchuan's ears, it became that Jin Ran wanted to block Yan Hu's application for appointment, after all, now the contradiction between Jin Ran and Yan Shuyi is getting bigger and bigger, before Yan Shuyi suddenly made a difficulty, and killed several local officials of Jinran's faction in a row, killing the head of the head, and exiled the exile, but fortunately, Yan Shuyi did not leave the officials in the capital, otherwise even if Jin Ran could bear it, he would never give up so easily.

Although Yan Shuyi is the emperor of the empire, his biggest reliance now is the Northwest Army in the hands of Yan Hu, if they can use means to prevent Yan Wuji's promotion, then to a certain extent, they can play a role in suppressing Yan Shuyi, so logically speaking, this also makes sense.

"Then dismiss it directly on the grounds that 'Yan Wuji's qualifications are still shallow, and it will only backfire to promote seedlings like this', Your Majesty, we can not bother." Gu Yanchuan pondered Jin Ran's mind and tried to find a reasonable reason.

But what he didn't expect was that Jin Ran shook his head and put the chapter in the pile of folds that he was going to present to Yan Shuyi in a while, "Let him go, now the battle situation in Dingzhou is very unfavorable to our side, those veterans are more than successful, but they have no ability to pioneer, maybe this Yan Wuji can save the decline of Dingzhou." ”

Gu Yanchuan saw Jin Ran say this, so he could only echo and nodded, but the next words of Jin Ran made him instantly sweat like a waterfall.

"You gave the order for the Jingyue reinforcements, right?" Jin Ran's voice was still very flat, just like when Yan Wuji was discussed just now

, and there are no other mood swings.

It's just that when these words reached Gu Yanchuan's ears, the soldiers of the two places fought across the border, and the order must only be issued by the imperial court's military department, otherwise it would be regarded as a rebellion, Jin Ran had been in charge of the imperial court for so many years, how could he not know, so now he is asking knowingly, then it means that he is now asking, not that he really doesn't know.

As for the reason for the questioning, of course, it was to perceive the anomaly in the order.

Gu Yanchuan was silent, because he couldn't find a suitable reason for a while, as an excuse for making an abnormal move this time, he muttered for a long time, but Jin Ran opened his mouth first.

"Do you have anything to say?"

Gu Yanchuan knew that this matter was unavoidable, so he simply knelt on the ground and touched the ground with his forehead, "The lower official didn't investigate for a while, and was tricked by King Jingyue, and fell into his trap, and the lower official ...... Xia Guan is also forced to do so. ”

As he spoke, he told Jinran everything that happened during his time in Yuezhou, and even the identity of Xu Ying he brought back was not concealed at all.

Jin Ran's brows gradually deepened, and he sighed: "I have long felt that Gou Yuecuo has the heart of betraying Yan, but I didn't expect it to be the case, internal and external troubles, nothing more than this." ”

"The lower officials are guilty of capital crimes, and please ask An Pingjun to punish them." Gu Yanchuan said tremblingly, this kind of thing is like complicity, and capital crimes are already the lightest punishment.

Jin Ran looked at Gu Yanchuan with some hesitation, and said that he was loyal, but in fact, he was not loyal to the Yan Imperial Court, and said that he was not loyal, but he was loyal to Jin Ran, which can be seen from what he usually did.

"That's it!" Jin Ran hesitated again and again, firstly, out of reluctance, after all, the two of them were also friends who had been fighting side by side in the court for decades, and secondly, the pressure from Yan Shuyi was getting stronger and stronger.

"In the future, if there is any movement in Yuezhou, you must notify me in time, as for the poison in Xu Ying and you, it is also a headache, I will help you find a way to find an antidote, Xu Ying, you deal with it yourself, but I have a word in front, don't let the lower body dominate your brain, otherwise no one will be able to save you."

"I understand, I understand." Gu Yanchuan stood up from the ground while nodding his head, his face instantly became gloomy and terrifying, and his eyes were full of fierce light, which was very terrifying.

……

After nightfall, the aunts and wives of the ancient mansion all went back to their respective rooms very consciously, and watched their master enter the small courtyard where the fox spirit lived again, not that they didn't want to fight, but they didn't dare to fight, the fox spirit's methods are still as deep in their minds as a nightmare, while sympathizing with the brave eighth aunt, they couldn't help but tremble, completely dispelling the idea of competing with the fox spirit.

"What's wrong with today, sir, so interested?" After Xu Ying poured a glass of wine for Gu Yanchuan, she sat next to him, although it was already the depths of winter, but the room was warm, and both of them only wore a thin single dress, especially Xu Ying, under Gu Yanchuan's special request, the single dress had lost any role as a garment except for some decorative effects.

Gu Yanchuan held Xu Ying's slender waist with his left hand, kept walking on it, picked up the wine glass with his right hand, looked Xu Ying up and down with a smile, and then drank glass after glass, "The beauty is the most beautiful delicacies, and those so-called delicacies of the mountains and seas are really tasteless." ”

"This

Do you mean, when the lord had dinner just now, he didn't eat enough? Xu Ying didn't stop the other party's movements, and twisted her body very cooperatively, and whispered softly.

"Of course I'm not full, besides, my main meal hasn't started yet, so how can I be full." Gu Yanchuan smiled and drank a glass again, I don't know if it was because of the effect of alcohol, or because the temperature in the room was relatively high at this time, and his face, which was originally slightly pale, had become red at this time.

Xu Ying picked up the wine jug to continue pouring wine for Gu Yanchuan, but found that it was empty, so she turned around and brought over another pot of wine that was prepared behind her, and filled the cup again.

Gu Yanchuan looked at Xu Ying with some drunken eyes, and then looked at the wine in the cup, "It's boring to drink like this, is the beauty willing to feed me?" ”

Xu Ying smiled charmingly, picked up the wine glass and handed it to Gu Yanchuan's mouth, but Gu Yanchuan didn't open his mouth, and said with his tongue open: "Don't drink what is in the cup, don't drink what is in the cup." ”

Xu Ying still didn't understand the thoughts of this old pervert, so she glanced at the other party coquettishly, then put the wine in the cup in her mouth, and then came to Gu Yanchuan, who saw this and took the delicate beauty in front of him, took the wine that Xu Ying crossed, and then scummed his mouth, looking endless.

"It's full and full, it's the old man's turn to feed the beauty." Xu Ying frowned when she heard this, and a look of disgust flashed in her eyes, but she quickly let go again, returned to her original state, and carried the wine jug and did as she said.

Gu Yanchuan slowly let go of Xu Ying's lips, and then like a child whose wish was fulfilled, he clapped his hands and cheered, and then picked up the wine jug by himself, and poured a full mouthful into the spout, but he didn't swallow this mouthful, but rinsed his mouth and spit it out.

After repeating this three or four times, Gu Yanchuan changed his previous drunken state, and his expression became as serious and serious as if he usually stood in the court to discuss matters.

"If I give you a chance, are you willing to stay by my side sincerely and stay with me for the rest of your life?" Gu Yanchuan suddenly came out with such a sentence for no reason, Xu Ying was slightly stunned at first, and then understood the joint, and shook her head without hesitation.

Gu Yanchuan took a deep breath, and then sighed again, he really liked the woman named Xu Ying in front of him, whether the name was a real name or a fake name, he didn't care.

"Fang Cai, I drugged the wine you drank, I know that you are a dead soldier trained by Gou Yuecuo, so I am also very cautious, I have been drinking, just to make you think that there is no poison in the wine, in fact, there is no poison in it, the real poison is in my mouth, when you turn around to take the wine, I put it in, so I will speak with a big tongue, let you think that I am talking like this because I am drunk, in fact, it is because I have poison hidden under my tongue."

Xu Ying listened calmly to Gu Yanchuan's words that were a bit like a confession and a bit like a threat, like listening to a story that had nothing to do with her.

"Although it is said that I am married for a hundred days overnight, but your identity makes me unable to tolerate your existence, don't blame me!" Gu Yanchuan looked at Xu Ying again with some reluctance, to be honest, he wanted to hug the other party and roll the sheets now, but Jin Ran's words kept hovering in his mind, making his brain always stay awake.

Ignoring Xu Ying in the house, Gu Yanchuan put on his thick velvet coat and went out, saying to the empty courtyard, "Don't torture her", and hurried towards the fifth aunt's wing.

As soon as he stepped out of the gate of the small courtyard with his front feet, seven or eight black shadows appeared in the small courtyard and rushed into Xu Ying's room.
