So Gao Yue said to Gao Gu: "Huang Cen, the negotiation with the Hun servant side is entrusted to you. ”

Gao Gu led the order.

Then Gao Yue asked Cai Fengyuan to immediately lead the 8,000 generals of the military army to ride on foot, go out of Chencang Road, and go to Fengtian City, the assembly place that had promised the Ximen Supervisor in advance; In addition, Guo Zaizhen rushed to Fengxiang Mansion and ordered Zhang Jingze, Fuyu Huai and other generals of Wanglong to gather 8,000 generals of the Yining Army, and also go to Fengtian City.

As for himself, he still has to "recuperate" in Antler Village for a period of time.

After the three of them left, Gao Yue, who was sitting in the main hall, suddenly remembered something.

"Qingqing, what are you doing? Don't go to the magpie's nest on the bad beam! Soon, Yun Shao shouted in distress.

Gao Yue just said don't worry, I'm just looking at something, saying that he took the ladder in the kitchen yard and climbed it on his feet, and a few magpies flew out of the hole on the painting beam with a scream, and then Gao Yue cautiously poked his hand in, first caught a few bird feathers, and then firewood and wet mud, all of which were often found in some magpie nests, unremarkable, what he was looking for was obviously not these.

Sure enough, Gao Yue's hand touched a piece of wood, could this be the magpie that he put into the nest?

Impatiently, Gao Yue took out the piece of wood.

Under the bright spring sun, a few magpies flew around his ears angrily and noisyly, and Gao Yue clearly saw:

The wood in the palm of his hand is not what the emperor said, the "pillar wood" in the shape of the pen tube, because the shape of the pen barrel can only be straight.

This wood is about a foot long, and the shape is a curved "mountain" shape, "mountain" shape!

Gao Yue was in a trance, remembering Lu Zhen's deceased mother, Wei, who had said when the emperor came to visit the sick that dragons could not fly without rulers.

Sima Chengzhen, the palace master of the Sanqing Palace, also said that the wood in your magpie's nest is probably not a pillar wood, but a mountain ruler wood.

At first, Gao Yue didn't know what the mountain ruler wood was, so he wrote a letter to Xiao Xin, the secretary of the DPRK and China, who had forgotten his friendship for the year.

Xiao Xin told him an anecdote he had experienced, which was still a matter of Emperor Daizong's dynasty......

At that time, Xiao Xin was Jing Zhaoyin, there was a drought in Beijing, Xiao Xin heard that there was a monk with a non-empty legal name who could control the dragon and spread the rain, so he went to beg him, and the monk really took out a very small white dragon from his sleeve, Xiao Xin said How can such a small dragon rise clouds and rain? The monk smiled, cut off a piece of birch bark, made this mountain ruler wood, and then said to Xiao Xin, I am just a fake dragon, but I still ask Da Yin to throw it into the Qujiang River, which can also alleviate the hardship of the people in Chang'an City.

Xiao Xin according to the monk's words, the birch bark and the little dragon were thrown into the Qujiang River, only to see that the little dragon into the blue waves, then shook the scales, grew to a few zhang, from the pond water like a white practice, churning in the clouds, frightened Xiao Xin hurriedly hit the horse and ran, not more than dozens of steps, behind the thunder, looking back, the dark clouds are four, the rain is inclined down, the surrounding white gas is boundless, Chang'an is suddenly shrouded in heavy rain.

"Gollum ......" Gao Yue swallowed hard and spat at the mountain ruler wood in his hand, not knowing what to say.

"Qingqing?" Yun Shao below was holding on to the ladder, not knowing what kind of demon the husband had suffered.

Gao Yue then quickly came down, tucked the mountain ruler wood into his sleeve, and explained to his wife very easily: "There is a piece of wood in the magpie's nest that is irregular, and I am afraid that there is a danger of capsizing, so I will change it." Yan Bi Gaoyue hurriedly picked up a ruler-long straight branch in the courtyard, smiled at his wife, climbed the ladder, put the straight branch into the nest, and then clapped his hands to Yun Shao, "Then the magpie's nest will be stable." ”

After watching a few large and small magpies return to peace and return to the nest, Yun Shao tilted his head sideways, thinking that his husband was still kind-hearted, and when they were not married, they saved a nest of magpies from a naughty child.

Just when the Dingwu army was preparing and leaving, in the Daming Palace of Chang'an City, Princess Lingxu entered and quietly sent the secret letter sent by Gao Yue alone to the emperor.

"In this expedition to Weibei, I want to appoint Ban Hong as the military envoy of the capital, and Huo Zhongtang as the deputy, to raise military rations and reward money to supply soldiers and horses from all walks of life, what do you think?" After reading the secret letter, the emperor summoned Dou Shen to raise the topic.

Obviously, Princess Gao Yue directly expressed her concern about "lack of money" to the emperor, and put it bluntly, "I can't believe the Dou Shen of the Guandu branch and the household department, and I ask Your Majesty to use Banhong to supply the army." ”

Dou Shen was shocked, so he said that Ban Hong was now in charge of salt and iron and transshipment in the southeast, and Duzhi and Hubu were not within his purview.

"The salt and iron are under the control of Qing during this time, and the degree branch is under the management of Ban Hong." The emperor's thoughts are beyond doubt.

Dou Shen, who returned to the political affairs hall, was furious in his heart, thinking that it must be Gao Yue's bastard who was causing trouble, and he was afraid that if he unified the army, he would have a conflict with me in terms of grain, grass, and supply.

You don't want to clash with Ben Gov, and Ben doesn't want to clash with you!

So Dou Shen urgently sent someone to the Xuanwu army, asking Liu Xuanzuo to go out as soon as possible and lead 10,000 Xuanwu troops into Tongguan, ready to take over the right to take over the party items of the six prefectures first.

When the letter arrived, Liu Xuanzuo was at the Fantai Wine Gathering outside Bianzhou City, and when he read the contents of the letter, the staff and generals all celebrated, saying that Situ had made contributions to the court and the country, and it was on this day.

Liu Xuanzuo was also very complacent, and said that if the imperial court could use me and the Xuanwu army, he would definitely wipe out the dust for the Holy Lord, but he also humbly said that this was just Dou Zhonglang's idea, and the Holy Lord's edict had not yet arrived, so you should be at ease.

It can be said that Liu Xuanzuo has made personnel arrangements at the table: the general Liu Chang and his son Liu Shining will go out with the army, and another general, Li Wanrong, will take charge of the affairs and monitor Huaixi, Weibo, Ziqing and other towns - after all, Bianzhou is located at the confluence of four rivers and is the lifeblood of the country.

In the evening, Liu Shining's face was grim, followed by a staff member dressed up, and hurriedly went to the military palace to find his father, and introduced: "This is Gu Xiu, the inspector of the Huainan Shogunate, who came from Bianshui overnight, and has something important to tell my father." ”

"Du Cigong (Du Yazi Cigong) sent a messenger, what is the so-called?" Liu Xuanzuo was taken aback.

Gu Xiu is also a friend of Taofen Shed, but after winning the Jinshi, he did not follow Gao Yue such as Li Wei and Huang Shun, but buried his early deeds, and served as a branch official in the former Huainan Jiedu envoy Chen Shaoyou shogunate, playing financial planning, and by the way, he sped on Jianghuai and southeast news for Taofen Shed, Chen Shaoyou Xue (in fact, he committed suicide by taking poison and cut himself off from the country), Du Ya took over the town to guard Huainan, but Gu Xiu did not go to work, because of his ability, he continued to get Du Ya's credit, and he was a loyal "screw" of Taofen Shed.

After Dou Shen became a Zhongshu waiter, not only Gao Yue, Ban Hong, but also Du Ya were unhappy.

Du Ya is sixty and four this year, he and Yang Yan were neck and neck, and both had the hope of being prime minister, but Yang Yan became a Zhongshu waiter until he was executed, and it has been almost ten years, but Du Ya has not yet paid homage to the prime minister.

If you don't worship the prime minister, you don't worship the prime minister, but Du Ya heard more excessive news, and when she was angry, she sent Gu Xiu to warn Liu Xuanzuo.
