Lao Xiucai blushed: "What the old man said is reasonable, and the old man is famous!" How can the little prince beat people casually? ”

"But he just beat him casually, are you going to sue?" The scholar pursed his lips, "After reading books all my life, I am left with a pedantic stomach, no wonder I speak so sourly." ”

"You ......" Lao Xiucai pointed to the scholar's nose and jumped to his feet.

"Don't you, mine," the scholar shook his head, "I only know that this time the brothers of the Gu family did not make less effort, and their merits are not much among so many soldiers, but they are also fought hard."

We discussed whether to keep the general's seal, but you came out and said that you should drag it and cut off the head, which is too biased.

The battlefield is dangerous, even if you haven't seen it with your own eyes, you have read so many books, there is always something written in the book, right? ”

Lao Xiucai's face was red, he ate some wine, and it was not good to talk in a hurry, and he was robbed by the little scholar, and he was about to straighten his tongue to refute, but he was snatched away by other people on the side.

Everyone is discussing whether the Gu family can keep the general's seal, and if not, who will the position of the northland guard fall on.

As for how much responsibility the Gu family has for the loss of the Northland, that is a previous topic, and it is not new.

Hot and new things can be tasted, who wants to fry cold rice.

Shi Qi took the wine bowl, squeezed his eyebrows and said to the old Xiucai: "Eat wine, eat wine!" ”

Lao Xiucai still had a drink, took the money from his sleeve and put it on the table, and left with a calm face.

Shi Qi didn't care about others, a big sip of wine entered his throat, and it was very refreshing.

He also knew in his heart that once he began to argue about the ownership of the general's seal, the topic of whether the Gu family was a collaborator with the enemy would definitely be raised, which was unavoidable.

The difference is how much everyone cares about that matter, and whether it will be more eye-catching in the end than the identity of the guard.

At present, it seems that the people are more concerned about the things in front of them, and those remarks that have been turned over the page, even if someone mentions them, the splash is small.

When the people pay attention to the court, the officials will naturally mumble.

Because of the bad attitude of the saints, they did not dare to talk about the sacred heart, and the talk of the officials was mostly inference, and the words were very cautious.

After being so noisy for several days, the saint mentioned it, but the side didn't say anything, only sighed, "A few boys from the Gu family are young."

This sentence was said at the court meeting, and when it spread outside, it was another chewing, and I couldn't wait to disassemble these words over and over again, install and disassemble them, and refine the taste of each stroke.

Halfway through March, a message came from the border pass, saying that Su Ningbo had led the soldiers to set off.

There was no court meeting on this day, Xu Yan did not go to the early court, and went directly to the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry.

A few unpopular officials came early, preparing the tea that the elders would use for a while, and talking about things together.

The officials who were familiar with Xu Yan saw him coming, so they came up to greet him, and asked in a suppressed voice: "General Gu Jiana ...... seal"

Xu Yan's face was as usual, and he said, "I don't know very well. ”

The person who asked asked casually, and they all knew that the in-law relationship between the Xu and Gu families looked close, but in fact it was far away, Xu Yan didn't know how to answer, and people stopped asking after him.

Liu Shangshu came not early or late, served hot tea, and turned his head to ask the two waiters: "Which one is going to Wenying Hall today?" ”

Wenying Hall is now the place where the princes and the ministers of the six ministries watch excerpts and talk about political affairs.

Xu Yan replied, "My lord, it's me." ”

Liu Shangshu's brows frowned slightly: "Otherwise, let Master Wen change with you today?" After entering the Wenying Palace, there is no one with a lower status and younger age than you Xu Yan, you have to answer whatever you ask, and you can't say that you don't know......"

"But I really don't know," Xu Yan smiled bitterly, knowing Liu Shangshu's kindness, and said, "I have hidden today and tomorrow, and if the saint does not make an order one day, everyone will guess one day." I've avoided it today, and I'll have more people to ask tomorrow. ”

When Liu Shangshu heard him say this, he bowed his head and said, "Okay, then you should be careful and cautious." ”

Xu Yan responded, glanced at the hour, and beckoned the little official to pick up the fold and go to the Wenying Palace.

The heavy clouds of the early morning did not slowly disperse until this moment, revealing the not-so-bright sunlight behind them.

Xu Yan narrowed his eyes, and his heart was clear.

Even the Holy One was still hesitating, what could he know.

In Wenying Palace, the whole day is very busy.

Originally, there were some excerpts, and the saint decided how to do it at a glance, but because of the experience of His Royal Highnesses, anyone who could have a discussion would come up and talk about it.

There is a lot of discussion, and it takes a long time, even if it is a lunch meal, everyone is in a hurry, where is there any mind to pay attention to chewing slowly.

"Father should have set up the defenders of the Northland earlier," Sun Xuan handed Sun Qi a copy of the book and said, "There are a lot of imperial histories that talk about this every day, and there are several copies today." ”

Sun Qi took it and glanced at it twice, and sneered: "It's none of my business, I'm forcing a result all day and night, you look at Fu Taishi and Xu Shilang, these are all Gu family in-laws, they are not mixed, waiting for the father to decide." ”

Sun Xuan smiled when he heard this, turned his head and asked Xu Yan: "Xu Shilang won't fight for his in-laws?" ”

Xu Yan heard the sound and said respectfully: "Your Highness, the minister has been working in the Ministry of Industry, you ask about water conservancy, river defense, city wall construction, and other things related to the Ministry of Industry, and the minister can answer."

You ask the guards and the border guards, but the ministers don't even know the fur, where can they put their beaks indiscriminately.

Of course, when it comes to selfishness, the minister naturally hopes that his in-laws will soar, but in terms of the public, what will happen in the north will still be determined by the saint, several highnesses, the military department and the generals who know how to lead the troops. ”

Sun Xuan listened to him thoughtfully, smiled and nodded: "Yes." ”

Xu Yan's attitude has been expressed, and His Royal Highness has also accepted his statement, and of course other officials will not mention it in front of people.

It's all peaceful.

At dusk, the princes still went to the imperial study to resume their lives.

Xu Yan's answer naturally reached the ears of the saint.

Sheng Shang touched his chin and smiled: "They are all people who understand." ”

Don't you just understand!

No matter how lively the discussion is outside, there is not much movement in the imperial study.

Of course, Taishi Fu and Xu Yan were also anxious, but they were by no means in a hurry to let the saint decide, but it was best not to urge anyone, let the saint think slowly, and think about him for three months and a half.

Some of the excerpts sent by the imperial historians urging the Holy Lord to make a decision were beaten back by the yellow seal, and some were left in the Wenying Palace, and they were classified in the less important folds, and one of the ten books could enter the imperial study, which was good.

In fact, the saint promised to let Jiang Muyuan stay in the north to participate in the reconstruction, and this already has such a meaning.

Master Fu dared to do such a clear thing, that is, he was sure that the Holy Lord had indeed not made a final decision, so there was no need to send so many excerpts that said the same thing and had no unique insights to the Holy Master.
