A post guard next to him saw Gao Jun and Cui Yan being intimate, and couldn't help asking, "Dare to ask this brother, who are you a female chief?" Forgive the villain's clumsy eyes, and he didn't see it for a long time. Another person said, "You don't listen to the piano well, but you ask people about this, what if the female chief of the family is not good at answering?" ”

Gao Jun replied, "Don't hide it, I am the family of our Lord Cui, and this time I accompanied my Lord Cui to Xizhou for a few days." When the two of them heard this, they were very envious of the young man's family.

Cui Yan whispered, "You're talking nonsense again...... This "Yangguan Three Stacks" is originally a guqin tune, which sounds empty and far away, and the aftertaste is endless, but I like to play it with the pipa. ”

Gao Jun was puzzled and hurriedly asked why. Cui Yan whispered, "Actually, since I knew that you arrived in Xizhou, you started to practice this song......" Master Gao listened to a throbbing in his heart, who doesn't know that Yumen and Yangguan are the only places to go to Xizhou in the Hexi Corridor?

I heard Cui Yan say again, "The guqin always sounds a little old-fashioned, unlike the pipa that is easy to pop up some hope." After that, Cui Yan immediately played out this Yangguan three stacks.

In the continuous sound of the pipa, Gao Jun seemed to see the majestic pass standing at the end of the desert, the sergeant who leaned on the battlement and was homesick on the pass, the silent willow by the post road, and the friends who held hands under the willow. The sound of the lute was unhurried, like a caravan marching towards an oasis in the desert. Cui Yan's hand was playing flexibly on the strings, and the slender fingers of the other hand seemed to be dancing on the strings, and each dance step produced a unique note.

The focused look on Cui Yan's face at this time made Master Gao obsessed, and her pipa sound brought him back to the not-so-distant past, and those memory fragments that he usually didn't dare to think about jumped out one after another: green mountains and ancient pines, silent long nights, moonlight streams, autumn wind and birds...... There are also relatives who are drifting apart, all of which have turned into incomparably long footprints of lone travelers.

Master Gao suddenly remembered the faint layer of smoke at the foot of Zhongnan Mountain, like a mother's whisper of love that was out of reach, although time and space were separated, and it was difficult to meet, but they always met inadvertently...... When Cui Yan collected the finale, she found that Gao Jun's face was already full of tears. "Are you upset?" She asked softly.

"I'm sad, but it's much better to have you with me." The tall man said and stretched out his hands. Cherished her face raised in the night, a little cool. He felt that his heart had not been so soft for some days. The two of them helped each other to their feet, and found that the two post guards had fallen on their seats in the long sound of the piano just now.

"These two cows." Cui Yan smiled and whispered, her voice made Master Gao feel her heart. He stopped and picked up Cui Yan and walked back. I found that the windows of two or three rooms were open at some point, and behind the windows were two sleepless travelers.

When going up the stairs, Cui Yan said softly, "Are you tired?" Put me down. The tall man ignored it, and his steps were steady and silent on the wooden steps. The aisle was pitch black, but the tall man felt that Cui Yan's eyes in his arms never left his face. He felt her heartbeat.

The two opened the door of the room with a back, and saw that in the faint moonlight cast outside the window, the little girl Lei Lei rubbed her eyes and just sat up from the bed, "Is it dawn?" Cui Yan said, lying next to Lei Lei with Gao Jun, and pressed her to lie down again.

At this moment, in the council hall of Liu Zhongmu in Xizhou, Don't drive Wang Dabi respectfully sat on the seat given by King Jiangxia. The prince yawned, "Don't drive your lord, what are you talking about...... Wang Qianming of Zhongshu Province is yours...... Distant cousin? ”

Wang Da has been looking forward to the summons of the prince since it was dark. But no one has come to pass it on. When Wang Yunda came back, he told him one thing, about the booklet, "let Prince Li take it." ”

Don't ask, "What did you see in the booklet?" ”

Wang Yunda said, "I only glanced at it a few times in a hurry, and it seemed that it cost eight hundred taels to redeem it from Huangcui Building. He tried his best to recall, "It seems that there are still some people in Chang'an and Xizhou, and the surname Lu has given a pen to remember." ”

Don't ask nervously, "If you think about it, who are they?" Is there Guo Dudu, is there me? ”

Wang Yunda shook his head. "Like...... It seems that ......" didn't say a meridian until the end. Wang Da gritted his teeth with hatred, "Then are you angry with Lu Shanglou about this matter?" I mean, the prince took the pamphlet. ”

"Brother, do you still need me to talk about this? I can't say that I was in front of you, and then I want to put it on you, and you still have the face to talk to others? I'm afraid they'll hit me with sticks. Didn't dare to go. ”

Wang Bei sat in the living room without the lamp until midnight, and finally made up his mind to take the initiative to ask to see the king of Jiangxia. Listening to the prince's question at this moment, Wang Da hurriedly replied, "Exactly, Lord Wang's grandfather and Xiaguan's grandfather are the grandsons of a grandfather. ”

"Oh, no wonder. Wang Qianming's article was very outstanding among the officials of the same dynasty, and this king admired it very much, and the secret letter he handed over, this king thought that he had written it for others...... Not bad, not bad, reasonable, worried about the country and the people! ”

Wang Da's eyes lit up and said, "Lord Wang, do you think of this letter like this?" Truth be told, this letter ...... The letter ...... It's the handiwork of the lower officials! ”

When the prince heard this, he immediately came to his senses, "Lord Wang also has such a writing?" The first time this king saw this letter, he was stunned, I couldn't imagine that Xizhou was far away from the border, and there were so many bold and reckless things, did you really think that the emperor was far away? Don't you know that there is a heavenly reason! You might as well elaborate, this king listens attentively, and when I return to Chang'an and reach the saint, I will definitely return a clear sky to Xizhou. ”

Wang Da was very excited, "Lord Wang, the lower officials also heard that Lord Lu, the pastor of Jiaohe Mu, is also Gao Jun's accomplice, this person is a little sleek and tight, and he is very close to Master Gao. The lower officials heard that he used to keep some black accounts and make some things out of nothing. This time, Guo Dudu instructed Lord Gao to merge Liuzhong and Jiaohe Pastoral Supervisors, and Master Gao demoted Chen Nianggu, who had some experience, to use Jiaohe Pastoral Supervisor, and let the very mediocre Lu Shanglou preside over it, and the people below were very dissatisfied. ”

The prince held out a satin-faced pamphlet in his hand, "That's true, I've read the beginning, and it actually slandered Lord Guo Xiaoke, the governor of Xizhou, so angry that I can't read it anymore," As he spoke, King Jiangxia stretched out his hand and tore the pamphlet in half, then tore it a few times and threw it on the table, "Someone." Burn it, this king doesn't want to see this nonsense anymore!"

A palace guard bowed over, swept the handful of shredded paper from the table and went out, and the smell of paper cigarettes wafted outside the door. King Jiangxia said again. "According to the king's intentions, Xizhou is located on the frontier, and officials at all levels should support each other, help each other, and do their part for the saint. I didn't expect that the things listed in the letter of Lord Wang were so serious, which really made this king sad. ”

"Lord Wang. Xia Guan was thinking, that Lu Shanglou used to doing some true and false things on weekdays, which made people scratch their heads, maybe some of the things in that booklet were true. ”

King Jiangxia said, "Lord Wang, are you some geniuses so late to speak?" Don't say it sooner! Anyway, the saint is most concerned about the matter of Tibet, you can talk about it. ”

Wang Beijia straightened up in his seat, "The great leader of Tubo took his wife to Xizhou and didn't hear about any official affairs, but when he came, Guo Dudu left Xizhou, and he didn't know what was important. However, Gao Jungao, who had a very close relationship with Guo Dudu, happened to go to Xizhou with his wife. And when Gao came to Xizhou, he first went to the post house to meet Songzan...... After arriving at the mansion, he beat up Lord Cao Sun Xuansun, for which Lord Sun was very aggrieved and complained to me, but with Guo Dudu in front, the lower officials only had good words to comfort Lord Sun! ”

"Your Excellency, ...... you mean?"

"The lower officials despise the act of slandering their superiors the most, but some things depend on the situation...... Two months ago, Liu Zhongmu had a case of accusing Gao Daren of being counterfeited by others, but it could not be solved under the interference of Guo Dudu...... Xia Guan thought that the relationship between Gao and Guo Dudu was already very abnormal. ”

"For example......" King Jiangxia asked.

According to Xiaguan's brother, one night when Lord Gao came to Xizhou, he once belittled Lord Guo's unmarried second daughter-in-law in public in an alley on Xizhou Street. And Lord Guo knew about this, but Lord Guo did not say a word about it. And also...... Gao and Guo Dudu's second daughter-in-law once lived in a courtyard with only one bedroom for nearly two months, and Guo Dudu's second daughter-in-law often carried a food box to the ranch to deliver food to Gao Daren, and the two often stayed in the house for a long time. Someone saw this, and Lord Lu alone told the lower officials a few times. ”

King Jiangxia remembered something and asked, "Didn't Lord Wang say that this Lu Shanglou and Gao Jun had an unusual relationship, how could he tell you about this?" ”

The prince didn't know, and the lower officials guessed that maybe it was because of the demolition of the old village house that there was a dirt between the two. Originally, Lord Lu had collected a lot of old houses waiting to raise the price. But the tall man insisted on turning it into a pasture drying field...... No one can stop this, and Master Gao has always said the same! ”

The prince slapped the table and said, "This is worth it!" Even my Imperial Majesty is still open and admonishable, and he is as good as a stream! How dare he! ”

Wang Da "It's not because Guo Dudu ......" just said half a sentence, the door of the conference hall was pushed open all of a sudden, Guo Xiaoke stood at the door, his face was pale, "As soon as I arrived at the door, I heard someone talking about me, what did I say?" ”

King Jiangxia hurriedly said, "Oh, Lord Wang and I are talking about the horse conquest, saying that Guo Dudu is hard. ”

Guo Xiaoke's face softened slightly, and he came in and sat down on the chair with a big grin, "Lord Wang, I have completed the matter of recruiting horses, and I will come here immediately." ”

Wang Da hurriedly got up and said, "The governor has worked hard, and the official will leave, so as not to delay the prince's rest." Guo Dudu didn't say anything, Li Wang Ye got up and sent it to the door, and said to his subordinates, "Lord Wang is back to the village, the road is dark, you go to the two of you to turn on the lights and send them off." Wang Dawei retreated.

Out of the conference hall, Wang Da let out a long breath, feeling that his chest that had been hot for a day was very comfortable in the night breeze, and a mess flew like a mess under his passion. However, he vaguely felt that he had been sloppy in his response just now, and he stepped on the stone at the bottom of the river before he could see it, which was not his own style.

But what else can he do, judging from the prince's act of lying for his own people just now, most of them are on the right track. "God really help me," the pamphlet cannot be restored, even if the surname Lu records what black accounts he has, there is no evidence.

In the conference hall, King Jiangxia slipped out of his sleeve a delicate satin-faced booklet and handed it to Guo Xiaoke, "Brother Guo, take a look, see if there is your name in it." Guo Dudu took it and only looked at the first two, and threw away the booklet, "Since I Guo Xiaoke became an official, I have only received a yak from Liu Zhongmu Gaojun, I have eaten the meat, and the has been pulled, how can I love it." ”

King Jiangxia laughed, "I don't know how Guo Du supervised the requisition of military horses?" ”

Guo Xiaoke said, "The resistance is not small, Pu Changmu has been evacuated, only 25 pairs of stallions are left, but there are more than those officials, and the lower officials don't know how to settle down, what does the prince think?" ”

"Hehe, it's okay for this king to play with chess pieces, but what you said is not okay...... But I have an idea, why is Master Guo worrying about it? Seeing Guo Xiaoke looking at himself, Li Wangye said:

"This is what the pastor of Jiaohe and Lu told the king, that is, the owner of the pamphlet. At the time of the merger of Jiaohe Mu and Liu Zhongmu, there seemed to be a female military division behind the scenes. When the king saw that this booklet was coded and remembered, it was clearly organized, and the matter of the military advisor seemed to be true. ”

Guo Xiaoke's eyes lit up, "He must be talking about Gao Jun's wife, Liu Yuru, who can't tie up my two daughters-in-law to one-tenth of her." Just let the prince go back and push this difficult thing away! ”

As the two spoke, the sky was already light, and more than a dozen fast horses entered the gate of Liu Zhongmu at a gallop. The Taichang Temple Cheng Gao Xing led by him got off the horse and saw that the light in only one room was not extinguished, and he pushed the door and walked in, "King Jiangxia has always been good, and the trial is polite here!" ”

King Jiangxia and Guo Xiaoke were stunned for a moment, and Guo Du said, "I thought it was Lord Gao Jungao, who I was looking forward to day and night, but it turned out to be his son!" Gao Xianxing became angry when he heard it, "What, hasn't this little brute come back yet?" Something so big happened, he dared to put up a shelf and let Lao Tzu wait for him. ”

King Jiangxia said, "How big can it be?" He wasn't there, and he didn't see chaos here. ”

"Chang'an has turned the sky upside down, this thing smashed the jade shop of the uncle's uncle in Chang'an County, beat His Majesty the Emperor's Qianniu Wei Record, and forcibly bought the pipa ordered by the Taile Department, just to please the female ...... of Qingxin'an" Gao Xianxing stopped talking, he couldn't go on, and his chest was bulging with anger.

"Could it be that Lord Gao came in a hurry just for this?" Guo Dudu asked.

Gao Xianxing then remembered the purpose of this, "It's not, I'm making this king and eight lambs angry!" As he spoke, he took out the holy decree and thought about it, and when he saw Guo Dudu getting up and standing up straight and the prince sitting there yawning, he stuffed the holy decree into the arms of King Jiangxia and said, "The prince will see it himself, I made him so angry that he recited it badly, it would be disrespectful."
