In the main hall of the county government office of Huangsha County.

Gu Xuan was talking with Lu Yi about the previous letter to the imperial court asking for Zhao'an.

Gu Xuan was not optimistic about whether the imperial court would agree to recruit the Rakshasa clan, he frowned, and said with some worry in his tone: "Sir, did you say that the imperial court would allow it, after all, I am soft-spoken。。。。。。 ”

What he is worried about is actually very simple, because he Gu Xuan has no one to help him in the court and has no friends of his own.

Gu Xuan, who grew up in the palace since he was a child, knows better than anyone else about the sophistication of these people's warm and cold feelings, his mother Concubine Li is one of the four imperial concubines, and it stands to reason that she is the same as Gu Li's mother, Concubine Shu, but why is the actual status of Yongle Palace in the palace not even as good as an ordinary concubine?

It is nothing more than a word, the world is bustling, all for profit, and the world is bustling, all for profit.

Since he was born in this red dust, no one is exempt from vulgarity, above the officialdom, even more so, everyone cherishes their feathers, and no one will take the initiative to help an outsider for free, and the impact of any decree must be beneficial to their own side, otherwise it is better not to let it succeed.

Therefore, throughout the dynasties, only the fundamental innovation is the most difficult thing to do, often once the emperor who supports the innovation suddenly collapses, or the person who promotes the innovation is forced to abdicate or die, the results of the innovation will be instantly devoured, especially the kind of reform involving most of the scholars, that is, the emperor who is the true dragon son of heaven will not be able to withstand the pressure from the people below and be forced to belittle the innovators, or even take the initiative to sell them to others to convict.

People are the most selfish animals, down to the peasants, they can only see their own family's one-third of an acre, they don't care whether the canal will flood the neighbor's house next door, up to the dignitaries, they can only see their own political achievements, as long as they can keep their official positions or even go further, they don't mind killing many hot-blooded young people at all, even if these people will make the empire look new.

If you are poor, you will be good to yourself, and if you are good, you will help the world, this is not an empty word, since you don't have that ability, then no one will have much to do.

Zhao'an Rakshasa clan, fundamentally, it is he Gu Xuan who benefits, and the benefits and fame are all taken up by him alone, so why should the officials in the court speak for him, not to mention that he doesn't have to think about it, he knows that the third and fourth will definitely not mind stepping on him at such a time.

Perhaps in the end, the best outcome is that all parties in the court have reached an agreement, and let the court send a nominal imperial history group to preside over this Zhao'an matter, so that all factions can share some benefits from it, and only in this way can these wolves in human skin be fed.

But at that time, his Gu Xuan's best result is to give someone a hand, and maybe even people won't bring him at all, but let Youzhou preside over Zhao'an, then he will really be empty.

That's what he's really worried about.

However, before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Lu Yi.

"Lord, even if you can't trust your subordinates, can't you still trust the prince?"

When Gu Xuan heard this, he was slightly stunned, then the corners of his mouth grinned, and he smiled: "Yes, what you said is very right, with the help of the second brother, this matter will definitely succeed." ”

As he spoke, he himself couldn't help but lower his head slightly, looking at the ground in front of him, the bright sunlight projected in from the outside, and the only right eye narrowed slightly.

I didn't expect that after I ran out of the capital with great ambition, I didn't have time to make too many achievements, but I had to trouble my second brother to help, Gu Xuan couldn't help but hang his head when he thought of this, a little discouraged, and there was some hesitation and panic about the future in his heart, although even if he was doing things diligently every day, there was always an empty fear and panic in his heart, that was because in fact, he didn't know what his future would be, even if he already had a lofty goal, and he was working hard for it every day, striving to get closer to it, but it seemed that how to do it didn't have much effect, and even sometimes he would have self-doubt, is it because his own ability is not good, or he chose the wrong path at all.

This is actually because Gu Cang's invisible pressure on him is too great, when he was in the prince's mansion, the two sat and talked, the words they said, and the vows they made, were like ropes tightly entangled around him, so that he couldn't lie down to rest, or even breathe freely, once he was frustrated, he would subconsciously doubt himself and everything around him.

Because Gu Cang is so good, he doesn't know how far he has to go to help him.

Lu Yi saw all the concerns in Gu Xuan's heart almost at a glance, and hurriedly stepped forward and comforted him in a deep voice: "Lord Wang, please believe in yourself, and please believe in the vision of the minister." ”

Gu Xuan turned his head and glanced at him, although his heart was sour, he still nodded lightly.

Lu Yi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time felt a little distressed, it was at this time that he was really like an eighteen-year-old boy, Gu Xuan, not the king of Hedong who did things vigorously and resolutely, rampage on the battlefield, and dared to face thousands of troops alone.

"As long as the name of Zhao'an issued by the imperial court is implemented, the minister can be a lobbyist and sweep the entire sand sea for the prince. Lu Yi waved his hand suddenly, as if he had unfolded a splendid picture of the country, he pointed lightly, and said to Gu Xuan, "Even if you can only subdue a few tribes in a short period of time, it also represents tens of thousands of people, just a little more training, let them learn to cooperate with tactics, they will immediately become an iron army that only belongs to the prince, such strength, except for the commanders of the armies, who else can compare with you?

Regarding this matter, Gu Xuan was far less optimistic than him, but when it came to the second brother, he still reluctantly sighed: "I hope so." ”

At this moment, a person suddenly broke in from outside the door, but it was Ma Mingze, this young man from Majia Village had been coming to Huangsha County with Gu Xuan for so long, working hard every day, his body and bones had become a lot stronger, no longer like the thin appearance at the beginning, his skin had become much darker, and his eyes were becoming more resolute and energetic, but he looked like a little adult.

"Sir!"

As soon as he entered the house, Ma Mingze knelt directly on one knee and hugged his fists to the two people standing in the room to say goodbye.

Gu Xuan saw that it was him, and suddenly felt guilty in his heart, and quickly raised his hand, and said with a warm smile: "Get up, Mingze, in the future, we don't need to make this big gift, just come in." ”

Ma Mingze almost subconsciously glanced at Lu Yi, who was standing beside Gu Xuan, and said in a deep voice: "Lord, the so-called no rules are not a circle, etiquette cannot be abolished, without etiquette, the prince will lose the majesty of the prince, the people in the yamen will become scattered, and outsiders will not respect the prince, so the etiquette must not be observed." ”

Gu Xuan was stunned by what he said, and after the other party finished speaking, he couldn't help but laugh and scold: "You stinky boy, who taught you this?"

Lu Yi interjected next to him: "Didn't the prince ask knowingly?"

The two looked at each other and smiled, and Gu Xuan said, "Say, what's the matter?"

Ma Mingze stood up and explained: "Lord Wang, there are ten people from outside the city, saying that they are looking for the city lord here, asking their identities, and refusing to explain directly, but it seems that it is not the Rakshasa clan, so Zhu Lao can't make up his mind whether to open the door or not, so he specially asked me to ask the prince." ”

"Looking for me?"

Gu Xuan suddenly frowned and pondered, who could this be?

Could it be that it is a person from the imperial court? Not really, how long has the news passed, even if it was negotiated in the court, how could the people appointed by the imperial court arrive so quickly.

So who could it be?

Could it be that it's someone from Wanyan Keni's side?

It's not time to deliver the ore yet.

Before he made a decision, Lu Yi next to him suddenly clapped his hands and laughed: "Lord Wang, the minister sees that the purple qi is in the north, and it is expected that the nobles of Tianheng will visit, so it is better to go with the ministers to have a look." ”

As soon as he said this, Gu Xuan suddenly became even more puzzled.

"Heaven and earth?"

Even if he himself is the most heavenly nobleman in this southern land, who can come to see him?

Duanmu Shuofeng?

Or Duanmu Nanli?

If you want to say that this day is noble, and it is from the north, this is the only one he can think of.

It's not like I'm here to persuade myself to do things under him.

Even if it's Duanmu Shuofeng, it's not so bold, what's more, he should know his identity, didn't he send troops to surround and kill him last time?

It's not going to apologize, is it?

No way!

Gu Xuan quickly shook his head and shook off this unrealistic idea.

Could it be that Duanmu Nanli's little girl secretly ran out of Qilian City again?

And he came to see himself?

The thought of this gave him a real headache.

In this life, I hate to live up to the true feelings of others, not to mention a simple girl like Duanmu Nanli.

No matter what, he didn't want to hurt Duanmu Nanli, but he didn't want to have too much to do with her, which would be good for both parties.

Or maybe he brought Han Ruying's grandfather and grandson here?

Well, it's possible, I said before, what's the matter, remember to find Miss Nan Li, if these two people are really calculated because of themselves, there is a great possibility to find Duanmu Nan Li to come here.

Gu Xuan was still pondering carefully, but he was pulled by Lu Yi and walked towards the door.

On the other side, outside the northern city, the ten horsemen who came from afar from the atrium had been waiting silently outside the city for a long time, and they all had a strong smell of blood on their bodies, obviously because of the previous battle in the desert.

One of them looked at the towering city wall and tightly closed gate of Huangsha County in front of him, and couldn't help but complain: "Princess, as for it, such a small city, it is worth waiting outside the gate? ”

It's not that he deliberately looks down on Huangsha County, it's really because these people are all from noble backgrounds, born in the atrium, and have seen a lot of big city tyrants, just such a poor and sour little place, it is really difficult to enter his eyes, and he feels that his reasoning must be fine, things must be like this, because the national strength is weak, so the city gate must be closed in broad daylight.

You must know that in the atrium, where there will be such a situation, any alien race, bandits, must bow down to all the princes, otherwise it will be the end of being exterminated, where there is such a time when people dare not open the city gate in broad daylight.

The woman who was called the princess took off the hood on her head, revealing an ordinary face below, but she deliberately chose to cover her face before entering the city, and changed her peerless appearance.

"Don't complain, this is the closest city to the desert, according to the news from the grandfather before, just go all the way south, then this must be the city under the grandfather, no matter what, you still have to find them to find out the news first, this must be right, and if you go to the big city, if there is an accident, it is not easy to deal with, it is precisely because it is a small city, you can ensure that there is no hindrance." ”

This sentence is very correct, after all, how big a pond is to raise many big fish, the real dragon will not swim in the small river, and the river shrimp will not be able to run into the sea, in such a remote small town, even if there is an accident, their manpower is enough to deal with it. ()
