His Majesty said that he had just returned to Chang'an, and he had "played" with a Zhaowu lieutenant first, and he was a little depressed at the time, but he didn't expect that so much time had passed, and His Majesty suddenly smashed a big thing down on him.

In the past, he always thought that His Majesty was going to find a veteran to go out and lead the so-called Governor's Mansion, and he would be a petty official, worry about the king, and be benevolent and righteous, but now it seems that His Majesty is ready to throw this mess directly to himself, whether he is dead or alive.

"Your Majesty, this ...... It's not appropriate. Guan Kuo looked at His Majesty with some difficulty.

"Not suitable?" His Majesty glanced at him lightly, "You don't want to worry about the monarch?" ”

"The minister is willing, but he is afraid that he will not have the corresponding ability and make a joke for His Majesty."

"I know, not for this reason."

Guan Kuo shook his head.

"Guan Kuo, I always thought that some time ago, I ordered you to clean up those little beasts, and you already understood what I meant. But now it seems, are you really stupid or are you pretending to be stupid? ”

If His Majesty admits that he is stupid, His Majesty will say that you are really unusable, if you are pretending to be stupid, then you are suspected of bullying the king.

He had to laugh dryly.

Knowing his psychology, His Majesty patted his arm and said: "Guan Kuo, you are the son of Qinghe, and you have also been educated by Qiu Zhanshen, I will not believe that you are a useless person, you see, this Tang Dynasty, how many people jump up and down to show themselves in front of me, so as to get a chance, but even if they perform well, then are they really capable?" Not necessarily. ”

"You have had that experience, so I believe in you, you can do it, now that so many people have died in Chang'an, and there are many people I don't want to use, although He Tongliang and others are capable enough, but they have their own responsibilities, if the Governor's Mansion is established, then only you can go up and give it a try."

"Some time ago, you did that to that group of little beasts, although it was not perfect, but it was very courageous, and the biggest reason for this is that you did not have the strength to make them jealous, and in the future, I don't think you will be able to do things well."

Guan Kuo raised his head, was silent for a long time, and suddenly looked relieved.

He has so many enemies, he must gain enough strength to obtain the capital to fight, if he can do a good job of this general of the city, presumably not many people in this Northern Tang can move him, that is what he urgently needs for revenge.

His Majesty's health is getting worse and worse, the situation is unpredictable, if he doesn't change, he can only sit still, His Majesty is doing this, he is creating an opportunity for him to protect himself, after all, he is Guan Qinghe's only son, and he is also a rare person who is valued by Qiu Jingshan.

The rain was coming, and he couldn't back down.

He came to His Majesty again and knelt down on one knee: "I will live up to Your Majesty's high expectations!" ”

His Majesty smiled, and although his face was a little pale, he could see that he was somewhat pleased.

"Do well," he said, "and I'd love to see how you keep the butler going." ”

Guan Kuo thought for a while, suddenly raised his head, and said to His Majesty: "Your Majesty, the minister has a request. ”

"You say."

"As the general of the city, can you designate some characters?"

His Majesty seemed a little interested, leaned forward, and asked, "Who do you want?" ”

……

……

There are still two or three days until Chinese New Year's Eve.

Although a lot has happened, there must be a festive atmosphere.

However, the news of the imminent establishment of the Governor's Mansion was still delivered.

It was not at all unexpected by His Majesty and some others, and at the first time, many courtiers stood up against it, some of them because their own views were different from those of His Majesty, and some of them felt that their interests might be violated.

The people of Chang'an were a little surprised, but most of them still welcomed it.

From some recent events, as well as many things over the years, they can see that this decision of His Majesty will be beneficial to them.

This commotion was very pleasant, but no one could shake His Majesty's will, not to mention, some of them, such as Shang Yimu, Long Jihe, Wen Yuejiu and others, did not seem to be very strong.

Guan Kuo understands that it is not unreasonable to be a thief, even if His Majesty can't find their heads, then what they are doing is still real, in such a state of mind, no matter how strong their willpower is, they subconsciously dare not quarrel too fiercely. Especially since they knew that His Majesty knew that the matter of the clouds had something to do with them.

Under such noise and gradually lightened, time passed slowly.

During this period, His Majesty summoned Guan Kuo several times, and once, His Majesty said something to him that he did not understand-

"Guan Kuo, you have no relatives and no reason in Chang'an, this time, Xiyun is enough by my side, and there are many princes, princesses and concubines. They have all started a family, this time, I will not decide to let them enter the palace, you and Xianyue are already familiar, since Qiu Zhanshen values you, then he can be regarded as your senior brother, you and him have a good life. ”

These words were inexplicable, and he didn't understand much, but he didn't ask too much, hiding his doubts in his heart.

Chinese New Year's Eve is just around the corner.

……

……

The far north of Xinjiang is colder than Chang'an.

Because of the sparse population, it also looks desolate.

The scenery outside the pass looked a little gray, and after a few snowfalls, it stopped again.

Outside the gate with the abrupt people, it is full of life and death, joys and sorrows, and after there is no enemy, it seems lonely and boring.

In addition to their daily drills, horse racing, wrestling, and became their daily life.

Occasionally, I miss a girl from afar.

It's just that there are very few times like that.

Gao Lin was dressed in armor, sitting silently on the high ground, looking at the line between heaven and earth, looking a little lonely.

His loneliness is not because there is no one around him, but in such a place, with those people, after a long time, how can he be lonely, because it is boring.

He doesn't know how long he's going to be here, five years? Decade? Twenty years? Thirty years? Or do you not know when you will die?

Although he did not regret that he had committed a great sin and was sent to the frontier, his heart was empty and uncomfortable.

A man's head gradually peeked out along the ramp, then his neck, his upper body, and finally, he stood beside him.
