Chapter 163: Liver and Brain
Gu Mingchao paused slightly, raised his face, and Emperor Jiayou sat back with a slight loss.
"Your Majesty." Gu Mingchao knelt down.
Emperor Jiayou bowed his head, "Get up."
Gu Mingchao took out the fold from his sleeve, "Your Majesty, this is Lin Shuai and Princess Yunwan's report about Dongzhou."
Wan Shen presented it, and Emperor Jiayou pointed to the desk, "Let it go, I'll see it later."
Gu Mingchao arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty, has the family teacher asked Your Majesty for orders to go north?"
Emperor Jiayou glanced at him, "Yes, I still pressed his fold and didn't reply, do you have any opinion?"
Gu Mingchao knelt down, "Your Majesty, the minister is willing to go north on behalf of the family teacher, and the minister ......."
Emperor Jiayu raised his hand to stop him, "Do you know why he had to go by himself?"
Gu Mingming, "Because he is the son of Duke Wuning, there is the old department of Duke Wuning in Northern Xinjiang, and the form of Northern Xinjiang and Yandu has now reached an imminent moment, so he wants to go north."
Emperor Jiayou shook his head, "He obviously has so much credit, why did you only see his birth?"
Gu Ming raised his head, "Minister......"
Emperor Jiayou opened Xie Songzhao's fold, "His title was earned by himself, starting from the pacification of Guiyang to the current Dongzhou subjugation. His deeds are evident to all."
Gu Mingchao gave his hand, "The minister understands, the minister is willing to go north on behalf of the teacher, and the minister will definitely be able to do it!"
"Look at this." Emperor Jiayou handed him the excerpt, and Gu Mingchao stepped forward to follow, "At that time, he mobilized the soldiers of Fuyang, and he was writing excerpts to me everywhere, scolding him, but I saw that Dongzhou was subdued, and on my desk, the excerpt that I wanted him to go to in the north became a mountain."
Gu Mingchao finally knew why Xie Songzhao told him repeatedly before leaving, and Lin Huchen also repeated the words upside down, it seems that they are hiding not only Xie Songzhao's illness, but also Xie Songzhao's real plan.
"The relationship between my uncle is indeed a little bit, but if he doesn't have real skills, then those old subordinates in Northern Xinjiang may not buy his account." Emperor Jiayou's tone was full of pride.
Gu Mingchao looked at the names on the fold, and he didn't believe what Emperor Jiayou said that he didn't buy it, because these names were frequent visitors to Xie Song's letters all year round, and those people didn't approve of his mobilization of Fuyang's troops, which may not be a kind of protection.
"Northern Xinjiang has been fighting for a long time, and Dongzhou's subjugation has given Northern Xinjiang great confidence, at this time, if there is a descendant who was once the commander of Northern Xinjiang, and he has a lot of military exploits, then it will be no problem to subdue Yidi." Emperor Jiayou had already seen the unprecedentedly vast territory of the Great Zhou.
Gu Mingchao held the fold, knelt down and kowtowed, "Your Majesty, the family teacher is terminally ill, and he really can't go north to worry about the king!" The minister knows that his talent is not as good as that of his family teacher, but he is willing to do his best to share the worries of His Majesty!"
Emperor Jiayou put down the fold in his hand, "What is the matter with the injury of the brother you mentioned in the letter?"
Gu Mingchao pinched his thigh fiercely, and his eyes were slightly red, "Your Majesty, since the rebellion of the King of Chu, the family teacher has fallen into an old illness, and Vata and his party have lost a lot of qi and blood, and they were imprisoned in Guiyang, and the cold entered the body, and when he was in Dongzhou, in order to quickly calm down the situation, all the old injuries recurred!" The family's affairs came suddenly, and he could only drag his sick body over, and now he ......."
Emperor Jiayou was shocked when he heard this, "His wounds ...... It's not a knife wound, it's not a cold?"
Gu Chao Er raised his head, "Is he talking about himself in the excerpt?"
Emperor Jiayou opened the folds on the desk to look for them, and reminded him cautiously, "Your Majesty, you put the folds of the Hou Ye on the bookcase."
Emperor Jiayou, "Take it quickly."
"Yes." Wan Shen bowed down and hurriedly went in to get it and presented it to Gu Mingchao.
Gu Mingchao got the letter, hurriedly skipped the first few nonsense sentences, and went straight to the point-
"Your Majesty Wan'an, Minister Xie Songzhao invited to Northern Xinjiang, the turtle is immortal, and it will eventually be the trouble of my Great Zhou's henchmen, the minister has a plan, and the minister's brother wrote a letter to the minister, informing the minister that all the soldiers in Northern Xinjiang have the heart to fight, this is the blessing of Your Majesty, and the luck of all the people.
"Your Majesty's concern about the minister's injury and illness is really a matter of concern to the Ming Dynasty, and the minister has only some knife wounds, and he has suffered from the cold in winter recently
Some wind and cold are all minor diseases, so you don't have to worry about it. After preparing for the Lantern Festival, the minister set off to northern Xinjiang and asked His Majesty to accompany the Ming Dynasty. Don't miss the opportunity, I hope Your Majesty will cut it early!"
Gu Mingchao can't wait to tear this fold full of lies to pieces, and the northern Xinjiang wants to fight, why? It's not because he hasn't been planning to be a high-sounding prince, but because the world is stable, he has tried his best to make plans, and he is sure that even if he knows that he is lying, he will not debunk it, because this is the layout that he has exhausted his efforts.
"He ......" Gu Mingchao felt that his throat was being torn open, and he kept dripping blood, "What the family teacher said is extremely true, it is the minister who is worried, and the minister seconds it."
Gu Mingchao lowered his head, Emperor Jiayou couldn't see his expression clearly, but he could hear his firmness and breathe a sigh of relief, "He asked you to go too, what do you think?"
Gu Mingchao took a deep breath, "The minister knows that the family teacher wants the minister to be accepted by the court of the Great Zhou."
Emperor Jiayou tapped the letter in his hand, "If only you knew his hard work. After the New Year's banquet, you can go to Jiangzuo to pick him up."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Gu Ming Dynasty bowed.
Emperor Jiayou closed the fold, "Get up, I want to add a prince to him, and he will be a hereditary prince." What do you think?"
Gu Mingchao pinched himself and pulled back his thoughts, "The minister is afraid of falling into the hands of others, so he doesn't dare to say it."
Emperor Jiayou smiled and said, "He is your master, a family, just say what you think in your heart."
Gu Mingchao glanced at Wan Shen, who was bowing his head next to him, and arched his hand again: "Your Majesty, if the minister treats him as a family member, then he will feel that he can afford to receive such a reward. If you look at it as a courtier, the minister thinks that Your Majesty should be cautious, after all, there were many strong ministers and weak princes in the previous dynasty."
Emperor Jiayou shook his head, "I know what kind of person my brother is, he is a gentleman and a capable minister of the court. Moreover, there are very few opponents in the DPRK and China this time."
Gu Mingchao arched his hand, "If the family teacher knows that His Majesty trusts him so much, he will definitely thank His Majesty."
Emperor Jiayou looked at him and said, "The nine counties of Jingxiang have all handed over the fold this year, and you also have merit in this matter, and I have already redrafted the title for you by the Ministry of Rites. Wait for my brother to come back and choose for you."
Gu Mingchao calmed down the turbulent waves in his heart, bowed and saluted, "Thank you, Your Majesty Longen."
"Let's go down." Emperor Jiayou looked at his back and said softly, "It's really like ......."
Wan Shen smiled and said, "Yes, Hou Ye Xie's apprentice, Your Majesty will have one more capable minister in the future."
Emperor Jiayou pondered Gu Mingchao's slightly unreasonable words, "Does Imperial Doctor Hu have a reply?"
Wan Shen counted the days, "Your Majesty, it should be soon, at most these two days."
Emperor Jiayu rubbed his fold, "Let's wait until his letter comes back."
Jiangzuo Xie Mansion, Shaking Star Courtyard.
Imperial Physician Hu touched Xie Songzhao's pulse, his brows furrowed more and more, "hiss......" He looked at his fingers and checked his pulse again, "Master Hou, can you allow the official to have another diagnosis?"
Xie Songzhao bowed his head very eloquently, "Hu Yuan, please."
After the diagnosis, he looked at Xie Songzhao, then looked at his hand, and still said stubbornly: "Master Hou, you are cold in the bones, attached to the skin, and it has been some time, it is impossible to pull it out. You can't go to northern Xinjiang......
Xie Songzhao, who was easy to speak, raised his head, "Chief Hu Yuan, be cautious when you speak, Northern Xinjiang is related to the people's livelihood, how can you delay for me alone?"
Hu Yuanshou sneered, "Master Hou, the bitter cold of Northern Xinjiang......
"Courtyard Chief Hu, you said that if I live a long life in the future, but Qiuzi has not been subdued for a long time, then who will Your Majesty blame?" Xie Songzhao fell steadily.
Fine sweat broke out on Hu Yuanshou's forehead, "Master Hou, but if you have three long and two short in Northern Xinjiang, the lower officials will also ......."
"No, it won't." Xie Songzhao interrupted him kindly, "Chief Hu Yuan, Ben Hou will personally write a letter to you, and if Your Majesty asks for guilt in the future, you will submit the letter, Your Majesty is wise, and I will never blame you."
Hu Yuan was undecided, His Majesty trusted the Marquis of Yongzhao, it is not a secret, Yin Ge was always worried when he was there, and now that Yin Ge is gone, what ......
Xie Songzhao didn't persuade him either, "Head Hu, I'm here."
The doctors who followed were the two high-ranking disciples of the current valley master of the Medicine King Valley, with them, what else could I do?"
Zhong Luochuan behind the screen was distracted, and Guihong outside the door looked at the snow on the eaves in a daze. There was a slight aroma of coals in the house, and the round jade fell from his fingertips, crisscrossing the chessboard.
"Xiaguan understands." Hu Yuanshou finally relented.
The snow-white carrier pigeon crosses the wind and snow and reaches Tianque. The well-armored soldiers crossed the mountains and brought Xie Song's long-planned holy decree.
Yandu Yongzhao Marquis Mansion.
The lanterns of the Lantern Festival are all over the city, and this bustle will drag the plain and cold mansion into the mundane.
"Bai Changshi, thank you for taking care of your mansion, this is our little heart, for the Hou Ye and the son." The old woman recited the auspicious words she had learned for a long time, and her face full of wrinkles was full of joy for the New Year.
Bai Shi looked at the people in front of the door, and bowed his hand again and again, "Everyone is a neighbor, Hou Ye and Gongzi let us help more, this is natural, everyone send some gadgets, just make a good fortune, don't be precious!"
"Don't worry, it's all gadgets!" The young girl smiled and handed the basket over.
"Thank you!" Pick up again and again.
"Invite the neighbors to come in and eat a bowl of Lantern Festival." Gu Mingchao suddenly walked out.
Immediately, an old woman recognized him, "Alas, isn't this the Little Ming Dynasty?"
Gu Ming went down to help her, "Yes, Granny Liu, it's me, I'm worshipping Master Hou now."
Granny Liu smiled and clapped his hands, "Oh, okay! That's great! And I said, "You are a blessed child!"
Bai Shi followed him down to invite someone, "Come on, come on, Gongzi tomorrow, I'm going to pick up Master Hou, everyone come to eat a bowl of Lantern Festival, and have fun together."
After sending the people away, Bai Shi stretched his waist, "Childe, it's not early, aren't you resting?"
Gu Mingchao shook his head, "I'll leave tomorrow, I can't sleep." Go and rest."
Bai Shi saw that his face was not very good, and asked him with concern, "Childe, do you want to call the doctor in the house to take a look?" You don't look good?"
Gu Mingchao sneered, "I was almost, can my face be good?" He suddenly looked up at Bai Shi, "What do you think of this person Xie Songzhao?"
Bai Shi sneered, and said in his heart, I shouldn't ask this, who can be so angry with you in this world, isn't it our Hou Ye who knows his mistakes and does not change.
Bai Shi hesitated, "Naturally, it is excellent."
Gu Mingchao sighed, "Forget it, you go down."
Bai Shi was pardoned and quickly slipped out.
Jiangzuo Xie Mansion.
"Master Hou, counting the days, Gongzi is about to go to Jiangzuo, when will we leave?" Guihong packed his clothes and spices.
Xie Song looked at the sky outside, "Don't worry, he's almost there."
Guihong also looked at the sky and wondered, "Didn't you ask Gongzi to pick you up on the road to the northern frontier? How could he come to Jiangzuo?"
