"Gu Yunqi is in charge of 100,000 infantry and cavalry of the Gyeonggi Xiang Army, guarding the nine gates and managing curfews, night patrols, firefighting, compilation and armor protection, bans, arrests, prison breaks, etc., he is one of the most powerful people in Beijing, it has been more than 20 years since the first emperor, and my father has always respected him. Shizi said. "For so many years, officials of all sizes in Beijing have moved or been promoted, and even my father has returned to his hometown to live in seclusion for a few years, but only Gu Yunqi has never moved, leading day after day, year after year, not seeing guests, not making friends, not favoritism, not bending the law, not doing evil......"

"Maybe he has a backer in the court......" Yun Shu smiled faintly and guessed.

"No kind of backer can make a person take root for so long. Shizi shook his head slightly. "I asked my father, and he was like that that that day. ”

Shizi said and pointed to the top?.

"Your Majesty?" Yun shrugged in surprise. "But we can all work for him, why does Your Majesty favor one person?"

"What is in the officialdom is that you don't understand, not Your Majesty, but the Son of Heaven. Shizi sighed.

Isn't that the same?

Yun shrugged.

"It's different, Gu Yunqi is only loyal to the Son of Heaven, and now he is Your Majesty, he used to be the first emperor, and in the future, he will be the fourth prince or His Royal Highness Wang Chuan, provided that he can still be trusted in that position. These emperors have long understood, and Your Majesty has also understood, and he has long understood. The prince said bitterly. "Remember that sword, the sword we were holding when we entered the city. He Gu Yunqi is this sword, the sword of the Son of Heaven, so you don't offend him no matter what. Father also said that he was the person who should not be offended, no more ...... than Wang Chuan."

"Lone Chen?" Wu Shu was dumbfounded and called out.

Although he is new to officialdom, he has already dealt with a lot of people before.

There is also knowledge.

There is still such a existence in Yang City.

It is indeed the sword of the Son of Heaven, but although this sword has been hanging for a long time, many people may have forgotten it.

Impartial, upright sword.

When the Son of Heaven needs it, it will be unsheathed, and it can cut down anyone!

It seems to be majestic and murderous, but this is also the greatest sorrow of a courtier.

A utensil is emotionless, there is no love and hatred, and even their own code of conduct is a mechanical lifelong thing that adheres to the guarded funds.

Even his friends have been lost in the end, and he has abandoned everything and become a sword.

"That's right, that's right!" said Shizi. "Gu Yunqi's position is the most important, and in fact, the forbidden army is also under his command, and the Wuwei Army also has the commander of the palace, which means that Xu Qing also has to listen to his orders, half a level lower than him. This position is really too important, 100,000 Xiang troops and 50,000 armed guards guard the capital and guard the imperial city, which Qi Hao and my father can't compare, he has been standing tall for more than 20 years. ”

"So he can only become a lonely minister, otherwise His Majesty won't be able to sleep at all!" Wu shrugged his head. "He has an important position, and what he does is also offending people, and he has had countless grudges and grievances for more than 20 years, and the Jingguan will naturally not be close to him! I didn't think of this, if he moves, he will move His Majesty, he is just a sword, and the sword in His Majesty's hand ......"

The consequences are unimaginable.

"But a lot of things still have to go into the city, Shizi, those things are not dangerous, can you try to find him to be accommodating. Wu Shu still asked tentatively.

"Don't

I think about it, don't have anything to do with Gu Yunqi!" Shizi refused. "Don't you know how to go down the dark road, figure it out yourself!"

......

Gu Yunqi, this person who is feared by countless people.

Now sit opposite Xu Qing.

Xu Qing is dressed in a brocade official robe, hard and mighty.

"The entry of the samurai into Beijing seems to be the result of a compromise between all parties. Yun Guogong knew that it would be difficult for him to get anything anymore, but that prince must have other deals with the martial family, and the marriage can also complement each other's advantages and disadvantages, which is really good. Xu Qing held the teacup and said.

Gu Yunqi is a middle-aged man with an ordinary appearance and a slightly short stature, he is too ordinary, and his temperament is no different from the shopkeeper seen in the street storefront.

"Master Gu, I haven't had time to visit, I'm very sorry not to go, speaking of which, you are also my superior, and I will give me more advice in the future. Xu Qing said sincerely. "Master Gu may not like to socialize very much, in fact, I am the same, but people always have the opportunity to meet each other, and they have to eat and talk, not to mention working together. Master Gu also knew that the forbidden army and the box army were inseparable, and there would be many places to work together in the future. ”

"Whether it's the crown prince or Your Majesty, it's very accurate to see people!" Gu Yunqi looked at him and finally spoke.

"Master Gu has won the prize. Xu Qing smiled. "I know that in fact, they don't obey me, these hundreds of thousands of Gyeonggi troops! They have all worked hard to this day, and there are many people who are buried on the battlefield forever and have never seen the prosperity of Kyoto in their lives! But as soon as I came, I was above it. ”

"Originally, I should have learned from Lord Gu how to defend the city and the tactics of war, everyone in the world said that Master Gu was the best person at defending the city, and when the time came to the world, only Lord Gu was left guarding the world's largest city at his feet! As for the other cities, the cities that had been breached were only left with shame. ”

"I understand and admire these things, but I don't need to compromise, I hope Master Gu can also understand that we don't have much time, right?"

"What do you want me to do, should I help you?" Gu Yunqi said as he looked at him.

"It's enough for Lord Gu to guard Yangcheng as before, so that everyone in the world can see the prosperity and tranquility of my Jin Kingdom. Xu Qing smiled meekly. "It's also the palace, but these other Gu adults don't have to worry, only the palace can't be messed up, which is also the reason why Your Majesty can rest assured that the forbidden army will be in my hands! ”

The servant brought the food up, very simple, three dishes and one soup.

Xu Qingdong tasted two bites of chopsticks, which was still good. "It's good that everyone in the world can be like this, the family can sit together and eat a hot meal, although poor, may not be happy or sad, but it is still neat, the family can be together, can look forward to tomorrow. ”

Gu Yun nodded and moved his chopsticks.

"But some people are too greedy, aren't they, they want far more than that, so they won't be at peace with others. Xu Qing said to her.

"Samurai. Gu Yunqi said. "The so-called First Family. ”

This word is also a secular world, and it seems that many people are inevitable when they are born in the world. Xu Qing smiled. "But like you, Master Gu, you don't usually do this, unless you can't help it. So it seems that the samurai family has done something too excessive. ”

"If the prince wants to enter the game, he can only find a breakthrough, the martial artist at this time is too timely, is it finally about to start after deploying for so long?" Gu Yunqi said. "But with

It's okay with me!"

If Gu Yun makes a move, he won't get whoever he wants.

The most powerful person in this Yang City, except for not being able to put his hand into the palace, can do whatever he wants outside.

But this is not in accordance with the rules, and it is absolutely not in line with His Majesty's will!

When Xu Qing came here, it was impossible not to understand.

Yan Mo on the side can figure it out, a lonely minister like Gu Yunqi who does not belong to any camp, once he makes a move, he will think that it is His Majesty's will!

"Today is to visit Master Gu. Xu Qing smiled sincerely. "In the future, if the martial arts family has anything that violates the law of the country, I am willing to wipe it out together with Lord Gu! The law of the country is not merciful, this is the criterion that Lord Gu has been abiding by for so many years! Lord Gu has also guarded Yangcheng for many years, and only then has there been prosperity and tranquility for so many years. ”

"Okay!" Gu Yunqi nodded suddenly.

"That's good, this is the Lord Gu I admire and admire, if one day I am like this, I can imagine that Lord Gu will also be merciless. Xu Qing said.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he took out a whole fish from the soup bowl, and the chopsticks were like daggers and embroidery needles, piercing and paddling, and he let out a hearty laugh. "This fish is too big, if I swallow it in one bite, I will not only be stabbed, but I will also choke to death! I will come to the head and tail of the fish, and the body of the fish will be handed over to Master Gu, and you can eat it with confidence." ”

Yan Mo's heart tightened suddenly, and he watched Xu Qing in a daze After picking it up, the chopsticks moved quickly, and the whole fish was deboned.

The fish bone was thrown aside, and the fish body was clamped to Gu Yunqi.

Gu Yunqi kept his head down, as if he didn't see anything in his bowl, so he picked it up and ate it.

But Yan Mo didn't feel that he couldn't understand Xu Qing's deep meaning, and at the beginning, he was able to understand that Xu Qing wanted to deal with the martial arts.

I didn't say a word, and I ate this meal with my head bored.

"You see, as long as we work together, this fish can be eaten no matter how big it is. ”

The meal was quickly cleaned.

Both seem to have obsessive-compulsive disorder, and not a single grain of rice can be missed.

Xu Qing still wanted to lick it clean, but finally held back.

"After all, this fish has been boiled and served in the pot, so it can't be wasted, and this is Lord Gu, you entertained me, I am so grateful." Xu Qing said sincerely.

"It's good that Lord Xu eats happily. Gu Yunqi also smiled, his fingers gently rubbing the teacup. "Whether it's the martial family or the Yunguo family, you're too weak for them, Lord Xu. ”

"I understand, after all, the samurai family is an upstart in Beijing, and if it is defeated, it seems that it will sweep the face of some people, and in order to protect the dignity of their own rights and interests, they can only stand up to the samurai. Let's go with the flow!" Xu Qing said seriously. "The prince also likes to play chess, and when he makes a move, everything will be ready, and at that time he will really not die! ”

"Seeing you today, I am even more curious about His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and I really want to meet you. Gu Yunqi said suddenly.

"If Master Gu can see you in the future, the prince will definitely admire you very much. Xu Qing said.

"If only that were the case. Gu Yunqi was relieved when he heard this.

"Yes, Your Excellency has been guarding Yang City for more than twenty years, Your Highness understands it!" Xu Qing said seriously.
