Volume 1 The Hidden Dragon in the Abyss Chapter 37 Mistakes are mistakes
Two people, one old and one young, sat opposite the side hall for the guests.
The situation is the same as before, but the mood of the people here is very different at this time.
Ye Zhihuai is still the first to give a gift as before, he has been so rigid all his life, cautious and cautious, the etiquette is thorough, so that people can't find any fault, after all, as a minister, etiquette can not be abolished, when it should be humble, it is natural to be humble, know how to advance and retreat in order to climb higher and go further, an old man like him naturally understands.
"Childe salutes. β
After the failure to cast the spell handed down by the Holy Clan last time, he attributed it to being in the imperial city, the place where the popularity was at its peak, so he couldn't play it, but this Xuan Gongzi was different from those people, he rarely left the palace, and there was no chance after that, Ye Zhihuai had no choice, so he could only come to persuade again.
The order of the Holy Clan, there is no disobedience, three generations of slaves, Ye Zhihuai has already accepted his fate, but if you can say it well, don't use force, it is best to persuade it, if you really have no choice, you can only report it truthfully.
"Lord Night. β
Gu Xuan also returned the salute, and then took the initiative to pour tea for the other party.
"I heard that Gongzi went to Longxuan Pavilion a few days ago, and he was angry with the third son?"
Gu Xuan's eyebrows raised: "The news of Yeshangshu is well-informed, but I just have some disputes with the third brother, where did I get angry, after all, the third brother is a few years older than me, and he naturally has his reason for speaking and doing things, and we shouldn't criticize it." β
Gu Xuan instinctively didn't want to tell the truth to Ye Zhihuai, not because he felt embarrassed, but Ye Zhihuai thought that the Xuan Emperor in front of him was angry and couldn't talk about it, so he hurriedly struck while the iron was hot.
"Xuan Gongzi rarely goes in and out of Fengyue places, naturally he doesn't know, this Longxuan Pavilion is the property of the Xu family, just the son of the dignified general, the main book of Dali Temple opens a brothel, so that people can't listen to it before entrusting it to others, but in fact, the people behind Longxuan Pavilion are Xu Huaiying and the third son. β
Gu Xuan didn't pay attention to this stubble at all, just picked up the teacup, blew it gently, and drank a sip of tea casually, and then continued: "Ye Shangshu, don't talk about these things that are not there, it is clichΓ© and meaningless." β
"It's okay, since Childe said so, then I will ask frankly below, what did Childe think about last time I told Childe?"
What's the matter, it's naturally a matter of seizing the heir!
Ye Zhihuai, as a dignified scholar, stood in line so early and thoroughly, and he was also the most unsupportive and weakest prince on his side, Gu Xuan really felt that it was difficult not to make people suspicious, and he was always worried about the pill, but he couldn't figure out the true thoughts and details of this Ye Zhihuai, but as he said, his coming was at least acquiesced and even promoted by his father, so this matter is worth playing.
Gu Xuan didn't hide much, but directly communicated to the other party: "Think about it, I am already preparing to go to Huangsha County, Hedong County, Youzhou as an official." β
"Huangsha County, Hedong County, Youzhou?" Hearing this name, Ye Zhihuai lowered his head and pondered for a moment, and then asked suspiciously, "That's a border town, facing the alien horse bandits in the desert, easy to attack and difficult to defend, and there is no oil and water, not to question the ability of Xuan Gongzi, but the fact is that it has long been an abandoned son of the imperial court, and the garrison has almost withdrawn.
"In the near future, the emperor will announce it in public. β
Gu Xuan's answer was vague, but Ye Zhihuai only regarded it as something that the father and son had already discussed, and knew that there was no room for maneuver, after all, the king of a country, Chrysostom and Yuyan, with Tianxian in his mouth, unless he united with some other important ministers to oppose it, it would definitely not be able to stop it.
However, appointing his son to that kind of place, to be honest, no matter how ruthless the father is, even if Gu Xuan is no longer favored, it is impossible, there is a high probability that this son proposed it himself.
Ye Zhihuai quickly analyzed the pros and cons of this matter, and then praised: "Childe is really talented, this is indeed something that has not been considered before the next, and retreating is the most direct way." β
"Childe has no maternal support, if it develops steadily, it is destined to be unable to fight several other sons, but this move is to retreat into advance, it is really high, once the son is knighted, you can blatantly raise your own army, and it is located in the border of Youzhou, unattended, plus You, the border of Yan and Yan has been at war, once the son has accumulated a lot of military merits, and then make a comeback to the capital, then no one can compare with the son. β
"It's justγγγγγγ Ye Zhihuai continued to analyze to himself, " One is that the son has no foundation, the so-called business has no capital, and it can't be done, the second is that Huangsha County has been in war for many years, ten rooms and nine empty, the tax can't come up, and the young and strong people have also been conscripted into the Youzhou army, which can be described as a poor and white misery, the son went there, but I'm afraid it will be difficult to make a difference, and the clever woman is difficult to cook without rice, and the son can't accumulate his own team, and the second has no capital, so it's better to change places, and the Xu family has led the Youzhou army for three generations, and the son can only be imprisoned when he goes to Youzhou, and he can't exert his strength, and he has to be constrained everywhere, the Xu family is the mother family of the three princes after all, and the son can't win the strength of the Youzhou army, I'm afraid that it will be more difficult to gain a foothold in Huangsha County, so it is better to transfer to Yanzhou, and Yanzhou is still γγγγγγ β
Ye Zhihuai still wanted to analyze his thoughts all the way, but Gu Xuan on this side couldn't listen anymore and hurriedly interrupted the other party to talk about himself, and he said bluntly: "I have made up my mind, Ye Shangshu should not say more." β
Ye Zhihuai is still so optimistic because this boy doesn't know the situation in Huangsha County, but he can be regarded as watching Gu Xuan grow up, knowing the temper of this fifth son, when he doesn't want to talk to you, he doesn't bother to pay attention to you, usually his temper is okay, but once he makes up his mind to do something, he must do it no matter what.
Ye Zhihuai was bored, so he didn't persuade him anymore, and said at the moment.
"Since Childe has made up his mind, it is also the interest of the bad Childe to say more, Childe is willing to do it, and he will help him in the future!"
Okay, okay, okay, just have the heart to fight for the emperor, the rest is me and the Holy Clan operating secretly, no matter how you say it, you can't lose to the others, Ye Zhihuai himself is too lazy to persuade, I have already said it in order to let the other party have a heart to take the position, I don't know how many times, this time since I agreed, then I don't want to nag anymore, I don't have to be angry with this person to the point that it is not beautiful.
"Above the court, the lower general will try his best to get more assistance from Gongzi, as soon as Gongzi leave, the people who support several other Gongzi will naturally be happy, at least they will not object, when the time comes, I will operate it well, and fight for Gongzi to get more military salaries and armor weapons or something to take away together, it is best to send a whole team to Gongzi in the past, so that Gongzi can let go of his hands and feet in Huangsha County, but Gongzi, in the next or more words, Huangsha County is not a good land, Gongzi, you must be careful! When the son leaves, there will be a heavy gift below!"
Ye Zhihuai said secretly, you kid go back, don't let me die in Youzhou, otherwise my eighteen years of hard work will be a bamboo basket to draw water, okay, I have to go back to the Holy Clan to ask for something to save your life.
Gu Xuan didn't bother to explain more to Zhihuai this night, not to mention that he was not stupid, he hated a person and hated a person, but people should accept gifts when they gave them, after all, as he said, Huangsha County is not a good place after all, and only by striving for more assistance can it be done.
"Okay, I'll thank you for the night book first!"
Gu Xuan bowed his hand, but was lightly avoided by Ye Zhihuai, his old face was full of unbearable smiles, and he hurriedly said: "Don't dare, don't dare, then go back to operate for Gongzi first, Gongzi is waiting for my good news!"
"Slow down and don't send it. β
Without a word of politeness, Gu Xuan almost hurried to let Ye Zhihuai leave, and the latter was still immersed in the joy of taking the first step in the matter, and he didn't care, and left in a hurry.
