Shuofang Jiedu envoy began in the ninth year of Kaiyuan, and initially only received orders in Dadu Hufu, Xia, Yan, Sui, Yin, Feng, Sheng, Dingyuan, Feng'an two armies, and three surrendered cities. However, over the past ten years, the power of Shuofang Jiedu has increased geometrically, first increasing the number of Lu, Li, Qi and other Liuhu prefectures, and two years ago, he also led the Guannei Dao interview and disposal envoys, adding the 12 prefectures of Jing, Yuan, Ning, Qing, Long, Dun, Fang, Dan, Yan, Hui, You, and Lin.

That is to say, compared with the tenure of Longyou Jiedu, Du Shiyi not only removed a sub-word, but also no longer had such an interview as Miao Yansi to "eye" him, and the states under his command were nearly doubled compared with before. And when Li Yi, the king of Xin'an, was in office, he also led the envoy of the Hedong Festival at the same time!

However, although the name is good, unless it is really the season of the Great War, and the envoys will not interfere in the military affairs of various states on weekdays, otherwise the DPRK and China will not be able to pass that hurdle. Even so, Du Shiyi flipped through the thick roster of civil and military officials as quickly as possible. At the beginning, Yu Wenrong entrusted those people to himself on his deathbed, he only promoted three people when he entered Shiquan by chance, and now because he was driven by Li Linfu to put ducks on the shelves, he doesn't have to use the power of this festival envoy, then he is really sorry for the hard work back then. Who knew that Lu Dao had a cursory search for the martial arts under his command, but he found a thunderous name among the generals of the Jingluo Army.

Guo Ziyi!

Seeing that Huya had brought in a middle-aged general, Du Shiyi couldn't help but stare at the person intently for a long time. Seeing that he was meticulous in his salute and greetings, and obviously a little nervous, he couldn't help but sigh a little - no wonder he used to hear people sigh that Guo Ziyi was a late bloomer, but now he sees that it is true. Guo Ziyi, who is nearly forty years old, is just a general, and in the long time before the Anshi Rebellion, he has rarely heard of his exploits, should he sigh with emotion, he is indeed a hero in troubled times?

He was looking at Guo Ziyi, Guo Ziyi seemed to be standing solemnly with his eyes, nose and nose, but he was also peeking at Du Shiyi. He could sense that the new envoy was observing him, but he couldn't show any surprise. Because no matter what he thinks, he really can't figure out why Du Shiyi pays attention to himself. After waiting for a long time, he heard Du Shiyi ask.

"Weizhou Assassin Guo Envoy, but your father?"

It turned out that Du Shiyi recognized his old father Guo Jingzhi!

Guo Ziyi breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, but was relieved. Guo was surnamed Taiyuan, and then moved to Huazhou, although his father Guo Jingzhi's ancestors were all officials, but when they came to the old capital, they were just small state officials such as Sicang Sihu, until his father should be wise and resourceful to promote the Shuai Ke system to the top of the ranks, and one of them moved solidly and steadily, and now he has been promoted to the history of Weizhou Thorn, which can be called the glory of the ancestors. It's just that his father gave birth to a total of eleven sons, and as the second son, although he is a martial artist, he is an official, but he is only step-by-step and inconspicuous.

"What the handsome man said is his father. My father visited the history of Weizhou assassination the year before last, and often wrote letters and messages, telling me to be loyal to Shuofang and guard the border for the country. ”

Du Shiyi knew that Guo Ziyi would definitely be wrong. However, if you don't hint at Guo Ziyi, I have heard of your father, and even, I have been famous for your father for a long time, can I still say to people with a smile on my face, General Guo's name is like thunder? So, after he smiled, he bowed his head and said: "Lingzun is honest and noble, I have been famous for a long time, I heard that he taught his son very strictly, so I looked through the civil and military files, and saw that you were his second son, so I thought of summoning him." Look at your resume, first in Helong, and then in Shuofang, it has been sixteen or seventeen years before and after? ”

"Yes, I liked martial arts and hated literature when I was a child, and then Wuju and the first, after the release of the brown was awarded the left guard chief, and then transferred to Helong, because of the military merits awarded the Xuanjie captain, Rouyuan Mansion Brigade Marshal, and then because of the military merits moved to Zhaowu Lieutenant, Rouyuan Mansion right Guoyi Du Lieutenant, transferred to Shuofang, after the arrival of King Xin'an, he followed his many battles, repeatedly moved guerrilla generals, Lingzhou Jingluo Army vanguard envoy, but before because of the impeachment of military discipline, now it is just an idle general."

Guo Ziyi's answer was decent, neither boasting of merit nor showing the military strategy, but when he said that he was just an idle general, he still showed a somewhat lonely expression. Du Shiyi saw it in his eyes, and couldn't help but think about this stable promotion route, and then think about Guo Ziyi's father Guo Jingzhi's eleven sons, and he didn't have the energy to plan a good future for each son, and except for the successive battles in the land of Helong and Tubo, the war has become more and more stable over the years, and Guo Ziyi's troops and horses are limited, so it is normal for his career to be limited.

"I have also looked through your military merit book, you have not written any pretenses, and you are worthy of being the son of Guo Yuanjun. Since you have been impeached by the marching commander of King Xin'an, I will give you a chance to re-command the soldiers and horses of your headquarters, and if there is no mistake in the Great Reading after ten days, I will return you to your former post as a pioneer. ”

Such an unexpected surprise made Guo Ziyi surprised and delighted. Of course, he will not abandon such an opportunity like those young generals who are not afraid of tigers in newborn calves, but immediately bowed down and responded: "The last general will live up to the trust of the commander!" ”

"Okay, there you go!"

When they met for the first time, Du Shiyi didn't plan to make too many promises. Anyway, he has just taken office, and there are still many opportunities to deal with him in the future, so there is no need to compare Guo Ziyi's generals and military strategies with great interest now, can the people under his command still run away? And according to the names he gave, after Zhang Xing, Wang Changling, and Gao Shi sorted out the roster of civil and military officials, he also got his wish and found many people who were on the list of Yu Wenrong in the eighteen states led by Shuofang Jiedu, and they could only be remembered in their hearts but could not be appointed.

Now, he really has to thank Li Linfu, if it wasn't for his recommendation, how could he have taken this important step?

After the festival hall gathered, Du Shiyi summoned a group of generals, and the time allocated to everyone was about the same, but there was not only one Guo Ziyi who got the benefits. Although others were surprised, he was just a general, and no one paid much attention to what Du Shiyi was doing when he met him. In addition, Du Shiyi only reinstated Guo Ziyi and another person, Rui Huaizhen, and was still a partial general and a pioneer, so ordinary people only thought that it was Du Shiyi's new official Jia En. However, because Li Yi recommended him to Du Shiyi, he came to Shengyan and stayed as the judge of the festival, it was not so simple to think.

Two out of fifty years have come to Shengyan, and they have already passed their prime. Compared with Zhang Xing, who was signed by Du Shiyi, Yao Hong, the judge of the festival degree next to Niu Xianke, came to Shengyan's career step by step, and he was able to be a state Shangzuo when he was in Zhishi, that is, the title of Changshi or Sima, he thought that he was at the top, but because Li Yi was in the process of an inspection, he greatly appreciated the overall transportation and management of the people as a county officer, so he was immediately promoted to his side, all the way from the inspector to the secretary of the secretary, and finally played as the judge of the festival, it can be said that he and Zhang Xing have met Bole, Compared with Jiang Taigong's eighty encounter with King Wen, it was still earlier.

Therefore, Li Yi was moved to the left, and he was moved to the left for such a ridiculous reason as having a relationship with Wu Wenyan, he couldn't believe it. And it turned out to be Du Shiyi who was transferred to Shuo Fang, when Li Yi and him had a heart-to-heart relationship in private, the two did not guess the intentions of the Son of Heaven and Zaifu in the court, he heard from Li Yi's vague hints, I am afraid that the Son of Heaven is worried that Shuo Fang is also like the deep-rooted Helong of the Guo family in the past, and it has also become Li Yi's back garden. Therefore, as soon as Li Yi left his post, he was ready to lose his official position and leave his post early, but who would have thought that Du Shiyi would leave him without saying a word as soon as he heard Li Yi's recommendation.

At first, he only thought that Du Shiyi was to appease Shuo Fang Wenwu at the beginning of his tenure, but when he was promoted to the hall and saw the generals today, he had to think carefully about what Du Shiyi said in public. At dusk, when he was summoned to the Lingwu Hall, which was like entering the backyard of his house, he couldn't help but have a little illusion when he saw Du Shiyi, just like Li Yi back then, looking at the huge map on the wall with his back to him.

"The King's ......"

The voice was inaudible, but he found that Du Shiyi, who had his back to him, turned around, and couldn't help but regret it for a while. No matter how good the old master is, after all, he has already left for Quzhou, which is thousands of miles away, and he was able to stay in office because of the recommendation of the old master. Just when he was worried, he saw Du Shiyi bowing slightly at him.

"Ziyan came just in time, King Xin'an strongly recommended you to me before, and said that Shuofang Wenguan Jun was the most virtuous, but I only took the time to see you once, and I didn't have time to talk in detail, but now I finally have time."

"How dare you be the most virtuous, the king is too ridiculous." When he came to Shengyan, he saw that Du Shiyi didn't care, so he simply used the previous title of Li Yi. After saluting, he stepped forward and saw that Du Shiyi was looking intently at the three surrendered cities that Li Yi circled with a red pen back then, so he casually explained the strategic significance of Zhang Ren's willingness to build these three cities, and then arched his hand as if he had lost his mouth, "It's my class that got the axe, the handsome once controlled Longyou, and the wind of the general is known to the government and the opposition, I shouldn't say more." ”

"I never thought that I would suddenly save Shuofang, although I have dabbled in Shuofang Prefectures, but after all, I can't be as good as you have been an official here for many years, you have explained a lot of details, how can I blame you for saying more." Du Shiyi hurriedly thanked Sheng Yan when he saw Lai, he returned to the main seat and sat down, and then asked directly, "Since King Xin'an strongly recommended you, then I will ask you directly." King Xin'an's recital with the court, as well as the letters of relatives and friends, etc., according to convention, should be in charge of the secretary, but is this the case? ”

"Yes, the king's documents and case files in the past few years have been paid to the secretary Ye Wenjun, who has followed the marshal for many years and has won his trust. This time, he begged to follow the king to Quzhou, but the king refused. ”

"Oh? King Xin'an told me about the advantages and disadvantages of all the civil officials of the Lingzhou Governor's Mansion and the Jiedu Shogunate, but there was no such Ye Wenjun among them, so I had some doubts in my heart. ”

As soon as these words came out, I was awe-inspiring when I came to St. Yandeng. Thinking of the last sentence that Du Shiyi said when he was promoted to the hall in the early morning, combined with the question at this moment, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva while guessing, and then said cautiously: "Maybe the king missed ...... for a while."

If it was really a person as trusted by Li Yi, how could he never see him after he arrived, and Li Yi not only didn't take it away, but didn't even mention a word to him? You must know that although Jiang Du did not clearly say what Li Linfu meant when he mentioned this person, it can be seen that he is not such a simple person!

Thinking of this, Du Shiyi bowed his head slightly and said, "In this case, I know the way." Qijun has been with me for many years, but when he arrived at Ren Shuofang, he was a novice, and Ziyan reminded him more. What you have been in charge of, it will be business as usual from now on. But before that, you can come with me tomorrow night to meet this Ye Wenjun. ”
