Chapter 289: Competition
Chapter 290: Be cautious
At the end of the morning of the next day, Li Deshi came to the post house and said that all the salt merchants wanted to feast Gu Du together.
Gu Du said: "It's okay, don't ...... years"
Chu Qin said outside the door, "Master Gu, I'm in." ”
Gu Du's heart moved, and he responded: "Master Chu, please." ”
Chu Qin pushed the door in, Li Deshi hurriedly got up and saluted, and called, "Master Chu." ”
Chu Qin nodded and responded, "Mr. Li, sit down, you don't have to be formal." ”
Li Deshi agreed with a smiling face, and after watching Chu Qin sit down, he sat down again, and said: "The villain is here to invite Master Gu to the banquet, I don't know that Master Chu is also there, since Master Chu is also there, how about inviting a meeting?" ”
Chu Qin said: "I came in to tell you this, I know that you have good intentions, and Master Gu also feels that he owes you something, but this is not a matter of reward." ”
Chu Qin glanced at Gu Du, then looked at Li Deshi and said: "Mr. Li should also know in his heart that you are in this situation, because of the hundreds of years of conquest between the two countries, the so-called sinking and difficult to return is not a one-day achievement. ”
Li Deshi nodded again and again, and said: "What Chu Dashuai said is true, we don't want to compete for anything, just to repay Master Gu's grace, and prepare a little wine, not a respect." ”
Chu Qin said: "The mind is good, the place is not right." This is Zeming County, the territory of the original Ze country, you and Master Gu, including me, are all people of the original spirit country, the grievances between the two countries for hundreds of years, not a day can be resolved, if we feast here, have you ever thought about the consequences? ”
Li Deshi was stunned, and Chu Qin said again: "Although Master Gu is a very popular minister, after all, people are terrible, if you want to have a banquet for Master Gu, when Master Gu goes to Lingyu County, you can have a banquet." ”
Li Deshi suddenly realized, got up and saluted: "The villain is reckless and inconsiderate, and I ask Master Gu to forgive me." ”
Gu Du said: "I don't blame you, I didn't think about it so much, fortunately, Master Chu reminded me that the banquet will be avoided, you wait to clean up as soon as possible, and I will inform the garrison." ”
Li Deshi responded: "Thank you Master Gu, thank you Master Chu, the villain is retiring." ”
Li Deshi left, and Dongfang Xia Lan said: "You still call him Master, there has to be someone to take care of you, otherwise you, a person with high merit and mastery, I am afraid that you will become more and more inconsiderate." ”
Gu Du smiled, looked at Chu Qin, and Chu Qin said, "It's good if you don't feel wronged." ”
Gu Du said: "I have been from you, and I still call Mrs. Zun my senior sister, where did the grievances come from, you said that you would not accept apprentices." ”
Chu Qin smiled and said, "You can make an exception." ”
Gu Du called, "Master." ”
Chu Qin nodded and said, "Okay, then we are a family again." ”
Dongfang Xia Lan said: "None of you are allowed to care about my quarrel with Zhong Jinling. ”
Chu Qin replied with a smile: "No matter, you two talk about it alone." ”
Dongfang Xia Lan said again: "Don't call me senior sister in the future, you have to call me senior sister." ”
Gu Du nodded and said, "That's right." ”
Another day, the salt merchants packed up, and Gu Du asked the garrison to send a team of 100 people, and sent a disciple of Juelingmen to follow and send the salt merchants to leave.
On the street, the people watched and shouted: "Get out of Zeguo!" Go back to the Spirit Kingdom! ”
Gu Du stood at the window on the second floor of the teahouse and frowned, and asked Chu Qin: "Master, the enmity between the two countries is so deep, how to solve it?" ”
Chu Qin replied: "There is no too good way, and it can only be to let Emperor Ze issue an edict first, saying that the spirit country has been destroyed, from now on, there is no difference between the spirit country and the Ze country, and the people of the world are also the people of the Ze country, as for the results, it is difficult to say, to really resolve the grudge, I am afraid it still depends on the consumption of years and months." ”
Gu Du sighed and didn't speak again.
The next day, he set off again, and returned to the imperial city in the next day, Emperor Ze set up a reception banquet in the palace, and invited Chu Qin and Lisa together.
During the banquet, after discussing the matter of moving the capital, Gu Du told Zeming County again.
Emperor Ze frowned and asked, "Why didn't Uncle Guo resign from his official position in charge of Changchun?" ”
Gu Du replied: "Actually, he didn't make any big mistakes, people are not sages, they all have love and hatred, and the minister thinks that this matter should not be forced, but should be channeled." ”
Emperor Ze sighed, Gu Du said again: "Now that the Spirit Emperor has fled, the Spirit Kingdom has been destroyed, although the south has not been decided, but the unification can be expected, it is a minister who wants to ask the emperor to issue an edict to inform the world that from now on, there will be no difference between the Spirit Kingdom and the Ze Kingdom, and the people of the world are all the people of the Ze Country, and they should be treated equally." ”
Emperor Ze nodded and said, "Yes, I will issue an edict tomorrow." ”
Gu Du said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, in addition, Princess Lisa has been in our country for a long time, and it is time to return to China, and Master Chu wants to send Princess Lisa back to China, and by the way, visit the Bear Country to see the exotic style." ”
Emperor Ze frowned and said: "It's not that I'm worried too much, Uncle Guo, the south has not yet been pacified, is it inappropriate for Uncle Guo to leave at this time?" ”
Gu Du replied: "The emperor can rest assured, the matter of pacifying the south, the minister has already entrusted it to Wu Renxiong, and with the assistance of the disciples of Juelingmen, it will be foolproof." ”
Zedi said: "In this way, then arrange it according to the will of Uncle Guo." ”
The next day, after talking about moving the capital and issuing the edict, the head of the Ministry of Civil Affairs asked Gu Du to Tianen: "Uncle Guo, do you mean that it's just that the imperial court moved to the Lingdu?" ”
Gu Du asked rhetorically, "What do you mean by Lord Xiang?" ”
Xiang Tianen said: "The lower officials are worried, and Uncle Wangguo will consider it." ”
Xiang Tian'en said, Zeguo has been trapped in the ice field for a long time, the people are suffering, this time to dominate the world, the people are also contributing, although they did not go into battle to fight, but they have almost exhausted everything, if the people of Zeguo remain in the grassland, and let the people of the spirit country continue to live in the south, I am afraid it will chill the hearts of all people.
Therefore, it is not only necessary to move the imperial court to the Lingdu, but also to move all the people to the south, and if the south cannot accommodate it, it is necessary to expand the city or build a city.
Of course, the best way is to let the people on both sides exchange residences, so that they do not have to spend more manpower and financial resources, and secondly, they can comfort the hearts of the people of Zeguo.
Xiang Tianen also said that he understood Gu Du's painstaking efforts, but the people did not necessarily understand the truth, so they had to be cautious in issuing the edict.
The two countries have been fighting for 300 years, and the deep-rooted enmity cannot be resolved with a single edict.
Gu Du turned to Emperor Ze and said: "What you said to your lord is very true, the minister is not thoughtful, please return the military power, Ke Ri will go, and send Princess Lisa back to China." ”
Emperor Ze frowned and said to Tianen: "Uncle Guo, at this time in chaos, how can you step down and leave the dynasty?" ”
Gu Du replied: "It is also important for me to send Princess Lisa back to China, and I also want to take a look at the coastal defense arrangements of the Bear Man Country, although the Spirit Emperor has fled, but who knows if he will make a comeback, he should still prepare early, as for the rule of the people, it will depend on your lords." ”
