Chapter 21: Preparing to Go Out

"Bastard, is this how you helped me govern the country?"

In the court, Emperor Flame Sun Lie Hongwen looked angrily at the humerus ministers he relied on.

"Your Majesty, please stop your anger."

The old ministers present were all a little trembling.

Because everyone knows that this emperor looks very good on the surface, but in fact he is also very powerful. I can't say it's militants, but if someone provokes them, I probably won't let them go.

As the old saying goes, if you offend my flame and sun, you will be punished even if you are far away. At least, the national prestige of the Flame Sun Country does not allow others to provoke.

"Good. If you want me to be angry, come up with a relief plan for me. ”

Lie Hongwen looked at his courtiers and said.

As long as this problem can be solved, there is really nothing to be angry about. However, the courtiers couldn't think of anything but to calm their anger, which made Lie Hongwen very angry.

"If none of you can think of a solution today, then you just wait to be beaten."

Lie Hongwen can be regarded as out of the way.

"I'll give you a cup of tea time, and when the tea time is over, you will tell me one by one."

After Lie Hongwen finished speaking, he went to his imperial study, waiting to summon these ministers to see if there was any good way for everyone.

The big guy also understands Lie Hongwen's temperament, so he began to discuss what a good way to do it. Gu Zhang also has a headache about this, if he really can't think of any good way, he may really have to be punished.

"Gee, what the hell can I do about that."

The time is coming soon, and everyone is still very concerned about this matter, but what can be done if they are taken to heart? When it came to Gu Zhang, Lie Hongwen was still looking forward to it.

"Gu Qing, do you have any good ideas?"

Gu Zhang looked at Lie Hongwen's expectant eyes, if he didn't have any ideas, it would definitely be impossible. But his ideas are too radical, if Lie Hongwen agrees, how many enemies will he have to 'harvest'?

"Gu Qing, if you have anything to say, you can say it directly, anyway, you are the only one here, and no one will know what you say."

As soon as Lie Hongwen looked at Gu Zhang's face, he knew what Gu Zhang was taboo.

"Your Majesty, it's actually very simple. As long as we have money and food in place, there is nothing that cannot be solved. However, corruption has been a major concern since ancient times. ”

"So, what do you mean?"

"What the minister means is that we will cut it directly, and we will not forgive once we find out, so that we can definitely curb the atmosphere of corruption."

Gu Zhang looked at Lie Hongwen cautiously and said.

Lie Hongwen actually thinks that this method is really good, but he just thinks it is very good, as for whether this thing is going to be implemented, it is another matter.

Because, I also have to think about the society, and if I find out a lot of people, the society will also be turbulent.

"Chen knows that this method is really a bit excessive, but it should be a little more careful." Gu Zhang looked at Lie Hongwen and said. "I don't know, what has Your Majesty done to improve the minister's methods?"

"This, I need to think about it." Lie Hongwen looked at Gu Zhang and stared at the other party for a while. "Gu Qing will go down first."

Gu Zhang saw that his side had passed, and after letting go of his heart, he returned to the court. I didn't pay attention to which minister went in again, and as a result, he angered Lie Hongwen.

After Lie Hongwen was furious, he calmed down and went to court.

"Zhongqing, today I will tell you what to do next."

It can be seen that although Lie Hongwen has calmed down, he is still angry in his heart. I guess that if someone really treats the king of God now, it may be that person who is unlucky.

"I have already thought about this disaster relief matter and handed it over to Gu Qing to supervise. Gu Qing, you must know that this matter is very important. ”

Lie Hongwen has already thought about it, and only when he goes out to do things this time can he be safe.

"Minister, obey the order."

Actually, Gu Zhang was not interested at all, but so what? The emperor has already spoken, if he doesn't know how to get on top at this time, he may be dragged out to play the board.

"Zhou Qing, you go with Gu Qing. Lest Gu Qing can't control his temper at that time, I still want to see the sinner get the punishment he deserves, instead of just cutting off his head. ”

The news that Lie Hongwen got was the news from the secret guard. However, he can't just rely on the news of the secret guard to correct people on the spot, and he has to let the people of the world know how he governs the country, so he must arrange for the ministers of the DPRK and China to go. Now, it is Gu Zhang, who is sent out who is jealous and hateful, then there must be another person who can hold him, otherwise his wishful thinking will be broken.

"Minister, obey the order."

Zhou Xiaokang, who is a Wenchen on the same level as Gu Zhang, is a person who can treat the house calmly when it is on fire. This is not an adjective, but because it really happened, especially since the house that caught fire was Zhou Xiaokang's own home. That's why there is such a saying.

After going down, Gu Zhang walked towards home unhappily.

"Brother Gu is leaving too fast."

Zhou Xiaokang took a few steps to catch up with Gu Zhang.

"The decree has been given, and we will set out in two days. You have to be ready. And, let's say, there's something you can't be impulsive. ”

Gu Zhang had a headache when he looked at Zhou Xiaokang, and he didn't want this to happen. But if those people do something, they really can't help their temper.

"Brother, you can't hurt me."

"Alright, alright, I see. I try, I try. ”

Gu Zhang didn't guarantee how good his temper could be, anyway, this matter was left to himself, if there was really any accident, then he wouldn't just forget it.

"How can you say you're trying? Since this is already the case, then you should be obedient. ”

Gu Zhang felt that if he didn't agree again, this Zhou Xiaokang might directly pull himself to his house and say that he would be two days and two nights, and then set off. So I decided that I might as well beg for mercy.

"Yes, yes, you're right. Alright, let's all go home and get ready. ”

"Hmm."

Zhou Xiaokang looked at Gu Zhang who was leaving, and always felt that this matter might not be as simple as he thought, but things also happened, so he still followed Gu Zhang closely, and tried to stop the other party when it hadn't happened yet.

"What?"

After Wei Liancui heard Gu Zhang's words, her whole person was not good.

If this Gu Zhang went to march and fight, maybe Wei Liancui was not so worried. But Gu Zhang was going to go to disaster relief, so he was a little worried. Wei Liancui is also a daughter of an official family, so she naturally knows the doorway. Now that Gu Zhang is going to be called to disaster relief, maybe there will be something dirty in it, and his master may not offend anyone at that time.

"Master, is this true?"

Wei Liancui couldn't believe it.

"I know you're worried about me. But this matter has already been ordered by the emperor, and we can only obey orders. ”

Gu Zhang didn't really take this matter to heart. As long as Zhou Xiaokang is here, in fact, his temper can still be suppressed. If you go alone, you may not be able to suppress your temper.

"But if you really can't contain your temper, what are you going to do then? I believe that when the lord sees corrupt officials and corrupt officials, he will definitely get rid of them quickly, but he will also be targeted by others when the time comes. ”

Wei Liancui was worried that Gu Zhang would be in danger at that time.

"This time, the emperor sent me, and Lord Zhou is here, you don't have to worry."

Wei Liancui looked at Gu Zhang, at this time, she couldn't say that she didn't let Gu Zhang go, that was against the holy decree. It can only be said that Gu Zhang still has Zhou Xiaokang by his side this time, maybe things are not as difficult as he thought.

"Okay, I'll go pack up for the master."

Gu Zhang saw that his daughter-in-law had obediently packed up her things, and then went to find her mother.

Thinking of his mother, Gu Zhang felt some headaches. Obviously, things are not so difficult, but when I meet my mother, things often become very difficult. I don't know why it became like this.

"Mother."

Gu Zhang walked to his mother Wang's yard and saw that the flowers in the yard were blooming just right, and he was a little happier in his heart.

"My son has come to bid you farewell."

"This side of the territory has been pacified, why do you still want to go out?"

Wang, Wang Junwei looked at his son with some incomprehension.

His son is also loyal and patriotic, and the old lady who marches and fights naturally understands, although she doesn't know the ins and outs of the matter so well, but she naturally also knows that the war has passed for the time being, why does her son have to go far away?

If you tell yourself that your son is being transferred far away, you will also pack up your things and go together, right?

"The task ordered by the emperor, my son will go to work in two days, it may take a month or two, you must take care of your health."

"Since you are doing things for the emperor, then you must be cautious. Mother is at home, what can she do? ”

Wang Junwei looked at Gu Zhang and said worriedly.

His own son knows that he is as grumpy as an artillery fight, and if something really happens, what can he do?

"Son, when you go out, you must pay attention to your temper, you can't lose your temper casually, you know? It's no better outside than at home, where the relationship is constantly intertwined, and you can't figure it out at all. Be careful. ”

"Mother, you can rest assured. I'm not going to act impulsively. ”

Gu Zhang sighed secretly, both of them were very worried about their temper. However, his temper is very good, as long as the other party does not do bad things, he will not do anything.

However, it is because of such a premise that everyone is more worried, worried that Gu Zhang will offend someone at that time, the point is that Gu Zhang himself may not know who he has offended.

"Hmph, you say that every time you go out, but you don't actually obey it many times."

Although Wang Junwei said so, he was his own son.

"Okay, you also have some more money on yourself, so maybe you will need it then."

In addition to buying something where the money is needed, I am also worried that my son will not be able to bear to give all the money to the victims at that time. Anyway, now that things are like this, just tell me what might happen, and then tell me to bring more things.

"Yes, my son knows."

After Gu Zhang finished speaking, he stayed with Wang Junwei for a while, and then prepared to leave. But Wang Junwei still grabbed the other party.

"You're also going to see Lan'er."

Gu Zhang knew that he was talking about his second wife, Cheng Lanshu, but in fact, he still had some guilt about this lady, but the guilt couldn't be eaten, and it was forgotten over time.

"My son got it."

Although Gu Zhang said so, he didn't go out of his way to find Cheng Lanshu, and he still said it when everyone was eating.

Mo Xiao had been following behind Gu Lingjin, so he naturally heard it. Actually, this is a good opportunity, a good opportunity to make money. Of course, it's not that I want to make a fortune, but because I feel that this time is a good opportunity to be rebuilt. It's also fairly easy to create your own forces over there.

However, in front of everyone, he had no way to tell Gu Lingjin about this.

Fortunately, although Gu Lingjin didn't care so much about this matter, he still cared about Gu Zhang's travel. Directly express your intentions, and you want to go.

"Nonsense, when you should still be studying at home, how can you go out at this time?"

Gu Zhang said worriedly.

"Father, this is a particularly good opportunity to exercise, besides, the son will follow you by your side, and he will definitely not give you trouble."

Gu Lingjin really wanted to go out and have a look.

Before, Gu Lingjin was very envious of Mo Xiao, at least Mo Xiao also increased his knowledge when he went out to study, but what about himself? I've always been in this capital.,I've never been to other places at all.,Think it's also my own shortcomings.。

"The two elder brothers also went to school at a young age, and the children are already so old, so why not worry? Besides, the child still follows his father. ”

Wei Liancui wanted to stop it, but what Gu Lingjin said was correct. That is his other two sons, who went out to study because they were not interested in marching and fighting. The youngest son has been in and out of the barracks with her husband since he was a child.

Now is such a good opportunity to exercise, if I refuse my son, I may miss an important opportunity. However, what kind of character is her husband, maybe he will offend others directly. If the other party knew that Gu Lingjin was Gu Zhang's son, he didn't know what he would do.

Come to think of it, I really don't know what to do.

Gu Zhang also thought of this level of concerns, and was worried that someone would make a fuss about this when the time came, so it was difficult to agree to Gu Lingjin.

"Father, don't worry. I know how to protect myself. Moreover, this is a rare exercise, I am the little soldier in front of your account, and I will definitely not reveal my identity. ”

Gu Lingjin very much hoped that Gu Zhang would agree.

"That's what you said, you're an ordinary soldier. If you can't bear it anymore, don't blame me for sending you back. ”

Gu Zhang thought about it again and again, he just didn't want Gu Lingjin to miss this time.

"Thank you, father, I will definitely prepare well. It will definitely perform well and will definitely not disappoint you. ”

Gu Lingjin was very excited, because this was a great opportunity, no matter what happened, he couldn't let this opportunity slip out of his hands.

"Hmm."

After dinner, Gu Lingjin began to prepare his own things, looking at Yuan Ling and Mo Xiao who were about to talk and stop talking, after he cleaned up, he waited for these two people to say it themselves.

"Young Master, otherwise, I'll go with you. If you have any errands like this, I can do it for you. ”

Yuan Ning thought that Gu Lingjin still had to bring his own. Although there is Mo Xiao now, there are some things that it is easier to deal with for the young master by himself.

"Well, you're right. But I'm going to be an ordinary soldier, wouldn't it be strange if I had some retinue with me? So, it's better for me to go by myself, and you can take care of the house at home. ”

Gu Lingjin rejected Yuan Ning's request and turned to look at Mo Xiao.

"What about you? And what reason do you have? ”

"I just think that young master, you should take me and Yuan Ling with you. The place I went to was Yongzhou, but in fact, it was only because of the weather that there would be no harvest and cause disasters. But we can take this opportunity to build our own power in that place. ”

Mo Xiao said seriously.

"Let's go with the young master, but don't take the official road. When the time comes, if there is anything that the young master can send us, the two of us can divide the labor and cooperate, and we can also cultivate the young master's power. ”

"Mo Xiao, do you know what you're talking about?"

After Gu Lingjin listened to Mo Xiao's words, he looked at Mo Xiao expressionlessly and said.

Originally, Yuan Ning felt that what Mo Xiao said was quite reasonable, but looking at Gu Lingjin's expression, he still had some worries in his heart.

"I know." Mo Xiao was not afraid of Gu Lingjin's expression at all. "I know that when the young master is ready to reach his age, he will open the mansion and move out. But if you want to live well, you must have a way to make money, which can not only be for your good life, but also for the good life of the lord and lady in the future. Another one is Mo Xiao's precautions. ”

"Oh?" Gu Lingjin listened to Mo Xiao's words and felt very interesting. "Then tell me about your precautions."

"I just don't want that when the war broke out, the old man and the young master fell into the embarrassment that should not have occurred when fighting because of the party fighting in the court, such as grain and grass."
