After a pause, Gu Zong looked at Song Yuyu again, and he asked meaningfully, "What do you think, Lord Song?" ”

Song Yuyu was singled out at this time, if he came forward to speak for Gu Ziyuan, it would inevitably seem to have something to do with this champion, and it would also arouse the emperor's suspicion.

Since he was caught by Gu Zong, Song Yuyu needed to protect himself first, and he replied ambiguously: "Rumors stop at the wise, but there is no wind and no waves, how to conclude, time is enough to prove." ”

The emperor pondered for a long time, and when his eyes fell on Gu Ziyuan's face again, he said indifferently: "In this case, just listen to Gu Aiqing." ”

So the first-class champion who was freshly released not long ago actually got an official position that was not as good as the second-class because of the wind comments that came from nowhere.

The other civil and military officials were a little surprised, especially the Taiwei who had taught Gu Ziyuan, although he had only been in contact with Gu Ziyuan for less than six days, he was not a person who would be deceived by gossip, he could see that Gu Ziyuan was upright and had no harm.

But no one dared to speak, no one stood up to point out the unreasonableness of this matter, and only comforted himself that the decision of the Son of Heaven was justified after all, but it was a pity that this champion Lang, a good and dignified high-ranking official, had to go to the countryside to endure hardships.

Gu Zong actually pinched the emperor's heart, Gu Ziyuan, as the son of the original King of Chu, still has a bit of a portrait of the King of Chu, although it will not be recognized by the emperor, but he will also care.

He only secretly pulled out the thorn, and the emperor was indeed a little wary and agreed to his proposal.

After retreating from the palace, the three of them walked on the road, causing everyone to look around.

However, the three of them had no intention of celebrating, and Luo Zhan and Xu Ce also felt that the emperor's decision to Gu Ziyuan was unfair, but they couldn't say anything, after all, talking too much would only increase their anger.

Luo Zhan was the most unhappy, "Where did this rumor come from?" If this is the case, we are so close to Brother Gu, why is Brother Gu the only one affected? ”

They all sensed it, that person seemed to want to target Gu Ziyuan, which was most likely intentional.

Gu Ziyuan didn't say it, he pondered in his heart what Gu Aiqing said in the court, that person mentioned Song Yuyu at that time, then that person was probably the one who had been chasing him, but he didn't see that person's face when he lowered his head in front of the emperor.

But from this point of view, this person can't kill him, and starts instead

To intervene in framing him from elsewhere, going to the countryside is only the beginning, and more difficulties may come in the future.

Gu Ziyuan had to be vigilant, in order to protect Bai Rong, he had to be cautious about the next conspiracy.

Xu Ce couldn't help but comfort: "Brother Gu, you, if you have any unhappiness, just say it, feel it, don't be depressed." ”

Gu Ziyuan came back to his senses and shook his head, "Thank you, I'm fine, you guys are too worried." ”

It is impossible to say that he doesn't care about these things, but he feels that it doesn't matter about official matters, because one day what belongs to him will eventually return to his hands, and a lot of points, just an official position, can not satisfy his ambitions at all.

"But Brother Gu, I advise you to be careful, I suspect that someone in this court will do something wrong to you." Luo Zhan reminded.

is worthy of being a role model, so keen, Gu Ziyuan nodded, and silently wrote Luo Zhan's kindness, he didn't want to drag Luo Zhan and Xu Ce into his life grievances at present.

As Luo Zhan said, if he gets too close to them, there will always be a day when they will influence each other, and now the people in the shadows have not harmed Xu Ceyi and Luo Zhan, which does not mean that they will not find an opportunity to drag the three of them into the danger of officialdom in the future.

Luo Zhan and Xu Ceyi's careers have just started, if they are affected because of him, Gu Ziyuan will also feel guilty.

When I looked up, the door of the house was in front of me, and they went in together, Bai Rong and Tang Yun were waiting for them.

"How?" Bai Rong asked them with concern.

Luo Zhan directly said that his official position was in the capital, and his mother had already rushed over when the list was released yesterday, so he did not plan to return to his hometown, but stayed to pick up his mother and live in the official mansion distributed by the emperor.

Xu Ce was also assigned to another town, and he was going to set off today to rush over to the top, so he had to leave immediately, and Xu Ce had to call a carriage and hurriedly pack his luggage.

Before parting, Tang Yun held Bai Rong's hand and couldn't help shedding tears, "Rong'er, remember to write to me often, I will miss you, and you can't forget me." ”

"Silly, I'll go see you when I have time, don't cry." Bai Rong's eyes were slightly hot, but he still sent them away with a smile.

Xu Ce also took Tang Yun to take the lead.

Luo Zhan also went to prepare for the next step

work, did not stay long.

As for Gu Ziyuan, although the emperor arranged for him to go to the countryside, he hadn't said where it was, probably because he was not in a hurry to let him go, so that he could have time to prepare.

As for how long it will be prepared, it is unknown, but it is certain that the emperor has already made this decision.

When Bai Rong heard that he was going to the countryside, he was very annoyed, "Why is it such an official position, aren't you at the top of the list?" ”

It should be a big official, otherwise who would want to study hard to get the top of the exam in the cold window, just to go to the countryside to experience life? No one may believe it when he says it, but the official of the small township is actually a new champion.

Gu Ziyuan also guessed that she would definitely be upset for herself, so he told her her guess, Bai Rong was even more angry, but quickly calmed down again, still a little unwilling, "Anyway, I will always accompany you, no matter what kind of immortals he is, it will not be difficult for us." ”

They have escaped so many pursuits, overcome all difficulties, and continue to be tortured when they arrive in the capital, so what, she is willing to admit defeat, since she wants to fight, then she will accompany her to the end.

"Well, with you, I'm not afraid." Gu Ziyuan said softly.

Although he didn't want Bai Rong to suffer with him, Bai Rong was so considerate, and his heart felt much better.

It didn't take long for Song Yuyu to come to visit.

However, he came to see them for the reason that the emperor had sent him, so he was justified and did not need to hide.

However, his face was not very good, and he took out a document with the words that arranged Gu Ziyuan's position, and the place he went to was a small county town in a remote mountainous area, called Chenji County.

The name sounds like a fairy wind, but the common people here are not good, the peasants are mixed with snakes and rats, they are extremely unfriendly to outsiders, often robbed or driven away, people are lazy and have nothing to do, and almost no family is willing to do the right thing.

In this kind of place, the good people are like a maverick weirdo, either abused or isolated.

That's it, the land in this place is barren, the fields are overgrown with weeds, there is a lack of water and food, and there is a shortage of silver.

Song Yuyu said bluntly: "This county is really a wasteland, and you have to suffer a lot." ”
