Cheng Yue said with a smile: What do you need to do with others, the old general has nothing to do at home anyway, would you like to go to Suzhou to help me make artillery? ?

Guo Kan was stunned for a moment, and said: "The old man is reluctant to use a cannon, and he is not good at making cannons, he only knows some fur, and he is afraid that he will not be able to help the prince." ”

Cheng Yue stroked his palm and said: "That's it, I will be on an expedition to Japan on the order of the Great Khan in a few months, and I want to train artillery in advance, and the old general happens to be able to help me." ”

Guo Kan was suddenly excited, he was old and ambitious, and he was not willing to stay at home all the time, and said busily: "Lord, it's not that the old man doesn't want to go, whether the prince goes to Japan or the west, the old man wants to go." However, the old man is a military general, and now he is still eating Dayuan's Yulu, so it is not good to go south with the prince. Moreover, if Si is still an official in the court, he can't even be involved. ”

Cheng Yue smiled: "I will ask for the will of the Great Khan." I want to fight Japan, and I want to go west, all with the help of the old general, even if the Great Khan refuses, the old general's illness can only be cured by me, and I still have to go with me! ”

Guo Shoujing was taken aback and said, "Lord Wang, will this disease be cured for a long time?" ”

Cheng Yue said: "Of course, the disease comes like a mountain, and the disease goes like a thread, how can it be cured immediately?" Moreover, this disease is most afraid of recurrence, and if it recurs, it will be difficult to treat. The old general will follow me for at least half a year, and then I will dare to conclude that I have been cured. ”

Guo Shoujing and Guo Kan looked at each other, only to know that the thief ship of King Zhennan was indispensable. However, this time is different from the past, Kublai Khan and Cheng Yue openly allied, Cheng Yue is Kublai Khan's concubine, the only Han king in the court - the king of Zhennan, and will lead the army to conquer Japan and the west, it is not taboo to serve Cheng Yue. Some of the generals and ministers who were left out in the cold in the DPRK and China were moved. Among them is Guo Kan.

Guo Kan asked cautiously, "Lord Wang." I heard that the prince accepted a thousand households named Unar. Does he want to return to Lin'an with the prince? ”

Cheng Yue said: "No, I'll be back soon, he will stay here to help me guard the door." Unar was a subordinate of Cyrigi, but he was not close to Cyriji. He was also a man of Namkhan, and he fought well in Alimari, so I said hello to Namuhan and asked him to come over. In fact, it doesn't matter if you greet or not, and Uner is not a general. What's so important about being a doorman with me? ”

When Guo Kan heard this, he thought about it seriously, slapped his thigh suddenly, and said: "The prince is right, the old man is just an old man with no official position and no position, and this life is saved by the prince, so what does it matter if he follows the prince to the south to recuperate?" Don't ask for an edict from the prince, lest you cause a storm instead. The old man quietly followed the prince, those people in the court, who would pay attention to an old man who was sick? ”

Guo Shoujing had no choice but to bite the bullet and say: "If someone in the court asks." The lower official said that the uncle's illness should be perfunctory. ”

Cheng Yue looked at Guo Shoujing solemnly. He said in a deep voice: "Ruosi, I want to reuse General Guo, you will definitely not be able to prevaricate the court with your illness." Your talent is extraordinary, but you can't fully play it here, although you have just been promoted to the Ministry of Works, but no one in the court knows your true value. I dare to assert that it is impossible for you to be truly reused throughout your life (Guo Shoujing was actually very reused later, and he was not allowed to retire when he was over seventy, Cheng Yue said this deliberately), and there will be no less people who will hold you back. You can think about working for me one day, I have a lot to do, and you can make a big difference in it. I can also teach you countless things you can't think of, and make your name go down in history! ”

Guo Shoujing looked at Cheng Yue dumbfounded-the king of Zhennan actually wanted to recruit him!

Cheng Yue didn't wait for him to speak, and then said: "There is a big matter right now, I asked Arukhun of the Ilkhanate to repair the canal, and promised to send someone to help him, the best candidate is you!" I can provide you with everything you need, as long as you get the canal through as soon as possible. In a few days I will raise this matter with the Great Khan, and for the sake of the great cause of the Western Expedition, the Great Khan will not refuse. Four years, up to five years! Can you go to the Ilkhanate for four or five years for my great cause? After the canal is completed, I will lead the army to the west, and you will be able to serve me as a matter of course, and I still have many things to do for you. I promise, you won't regret it! ”

Guo Shoujing finally breathed a sigh of relief, swallowed his saliva and asked, "Lord Wang, I don't know when Lord Wang made up his mind about these ideas?" Why does the lower official think that the prince has already laid out the situation, and the lower official will not agree at all? ”

Cheng Yue laughed, beat Guo Shoujing's chest, and said, "You are a person who wants to do a big business!" It's because I know you that I'm asking you to do this. After this canal is built, it will change the history of the whole world, such an important project, I don't believe you don't want to preside over it! ”

Guo Shoujing felt a sense of acquaintance in his heart, and sighed: "Don't hide it from the prince, yesterday I heard that the prince was going to build such a canal, and the lower officials were really itchy and unbearable, and it was not good to take the initiative to ask the Great Khan for help. ”

Cheng Yue patted him on the shoulder and said, "This is just the beginning!" When you come to me, I'll show you what a miracle is! What I want to build in the future will completely change the world, and if you are absent, you will regret it for the rest of your life! ”

Guo Shoujing's eyes widened, and he became more and more excited. Although he didn't know what Cheng Yue was going to make, he absolutely believed what Cheng Yue said.

"Good!" Guo Shoujing said loudly: "The lower officials will go to the Ilkhanate to serve the prince for four or five years, build the canal, and welcome the prince's army!" ”

Guo Kan laughed on the side and said, "Aren't we here to treat the disease?" How did it suddenly become an effect? ”

The three of them laughed at the same time, and Cheng Yue said with a smile: "I won't tell you, you two uncles and nephews, I have long liked them, and they are talents that must be obtained." Even if you refuse to serve me today, I will tie you up. As early as the moment I saw Aruhun, I had already decided where your uncle and nephew would go. Josi, remember before I set out on the expedition we agreed that you could come to me when I returned? In fact, I just want to discuss this matter with you. However, I didn't expect to meet Aruhun at that time, so it was complicated. Well, things are going unexpectedly well. I don't believe in fate, but I think God made us do this. ”

Guo Shoujing exclaimed: "It turns out that the prince has wanted to build that canal for a long time, and the prince is really far-sighted!" ”

Cheng Yue said: "This is also for your sake and for the sake of your Cheng family." Old General Guo is idle, I don't think so, I must reuse a rare general like the old general. Although you have a great responsibility in the DPRK and China, you have also not received the attention you deserve. Your Guo family is the descendant of Guo Ziyi, and it is not easy to produce such a great talent as your uncle and nephew, I will never allow such a talent to be wasted. If the old general doesn't come, I will also come to visit, and today it is ostensibly that you have come to ask me for healing, but in fact I ask you to help me. Of course, I'm glad that you can be cured, but in fact, I'm the happiest, thank you for coming to me! ”

After Guo Kan and Guo Shoujing listened to Cheng Yue's words, they couldn't help but be moved to tears, Guo Kan held Cheng Yue's hand with red eyes, and said: "If you can get a confidant like the prince, you will live in this world for once!" Thank you, Lord Wang. ”

Cheng Yue said with a smile: "The old general, please take good care of your body, there will be a lot of borrowing in the future, please give the old general advice." ”

The more the three of them talked, the more speculative they became, and they hated seeing each other late, and more than an hour passed unconsciously.

Wan'er came back with the medicine first, and said prettyly: "Official, Erbaodan is ready, do you want to use it now?" ”

Cheng Yue said: "Okay, we will operate when the medicine comes, Wan'er, you go to make preoperative preparations, I will drain the pus." ”

"Yes." Wan'er quickly prepared the things needed for the operation. Guo Kan said gratefully: "Thank you to the princess." ”

Wan'er blushed and said, "Old general, don't say that, the official hasn't been canonized yet." ”

Cheng Yue said with a smile: "Aren't you all princesses if you don't seal it?" ”

Wan'er winked at Cheng Yue playfully, and the happiness in her heart was indescribable.

After the operation was ready, Cheng Yue cleaned his hands, took the scalpel from Wan'er's hand, gently cut open the pus on Guo Kan's back, and began to remove the pus for him.

The surgery is not complicated, you just need to be careful, and the medicine is the key.

After the operation, Cheng Yue applied medicine to the incision and bandaged it carefully, breathing a sigh of relief.

Gillian also brought the medicine she dispensed, this medicine was taken internally, called penetrating pus, and Guo Kan drank it without hesitation.

Guo Kan needed to rest, Cheng Yue left Gillian and Wan'er to take care of him personally, and left the ward with Guo Shoujing and went to Cheng Yue's study. Cheng Yue wanted to explain the matter about the canal in detail.

Cheng Yue's training of Guo Shoujing was much more detailed and in-depth than that of Aluhun, which involved a large number of physical principles and mathematical formulas.

Guo Shoujing liked to learn these strange knowledge in the eyes of others since he was a child, and preferred to make all kinds of novel things, and when he grew up, he was particularly profound in water conservancy and astronomy.

The knowledge that Cheng Yue told him was something he usually thought about but didn't think too clearly, which made up for many of his shortcomings.

Guo Shoujing finally met a teacher like Cheng Yue, how could he let it go easily, the two even ate lunch in the study, and did not reluctantly leave until the evening.

Cheng Yue ordered someone to send the uncle and nephew away in a carriage, so as not to let Guo Kan suffer from the cold again.

The next day, it was the first Chinese New Year's Eve that Cheng Yue had been able to live well since he crossed, and the palace sent various things for the New Year early, and hundreds of cars were transported. There are few people in the house, Zhang Shufang and the concubines are very busy, and Ku Toulon also took the initiative to come over with her maids to help, but there are still not enough people.
