The next morning, Shen Zhixi woke up slowly, and her whole head was still a little dizzy.

Why did I drink so much yesterday?

It's over, I can't remember what I told Gu Yuan last night.

She wouldn't have done anything great to him with the strength of her alcohol, would she?

At this moment, Gu Yuan knocked on the door: "Your Highness is awake?" ”

Shen Zhixi was taken aback, and replied angrily: "Wake up, you stay outside the door, don't come in." ”

Gu Yuan heard that His Royal Highness was so angry when he got up, so he knew that she should have drunk too much last night, so he smiled.

When Shen Zhixi was unhurriedly dressing up, Gu Yuan also came in.

He was dressed in plain clothes like frost and snow today, with no crown in his hair, Shi Shiran looked at her like a fairy, with a faint smile in his eyes.

The ancients are like a frightening dragon, graceful like a dragon, probably like him.

Shen Zhixi was a little uncomfortable stared at by him, and hurriedly said, "You turn around, don't look at me." ”

Gu Yuan turned around obediently, and really didn't look at her again.

Shen Zhixi also settled down and continued to put on makeup, she was drawing her eyebrows, and Gu Yuan took the hairpin to tie her hair.

"The craft is good, where did you learn it?" Shen Zhixi couldn't help but admire.

Gu Yuan smiled and said, "I learned it from my sister, and I practiced with Lu Ran." ”

Shen Zhixi was stunned for a moment, and then burst into laughter, "You give Lu Ran a haircut?" Don't tease me...... So what should he become......"

She rolled her eyes, and couldn't help but laugh when she thought that Lu Ran's serious face actually had a little girl's bun on her face, and she didn't even draw her eyebrows, and pointed at Gu Yuan and laughed.

Gu Yuan probably also felt that this joke was really a bit damaged, and he also laughed.

After laughing enough, Shen Zhixi asked, "You didn't go back to the house to sleep last night?" ”

Gu Yuan smiled: "How is it possible, I went back to the other courtyard last night." ”

"That'...... What happened before you went back? Shen Zhixi asked him tentatively.

Gu Yuan thought about it for a while, "There is a little white rabbit who wants to grab wine from me, and he is still drunk." ”

Shen Zhixi glanced at him, "Is it okay to talk about people?" ”

Gu Yuan half-jokingly told everything that happened last night, and when it came to the wine he dug up, Shen Zhixi suddenly remembered something, "Who buried you when you dug it up?" ”

"Buried by Nian'er." Gu Yuan smiled helplessly, "When she was twelve or thirteen years old, I don't know who I heard it from, if her daughter got married, she would have a bad life. ”

Shen Zhixi looked confused, "What kind of custom is this?" Why haven't I heard of it? ”

Gu Yuan said matter-of-factly: "I haven't heard of it either, but the two jars of wine she took to bury are all mine." ”

Shen Zhixi was speechless and said, "Then why did you dig her out again?" ”

"Old wine, it's a pity not to drink it, I'll bury her back in two jars."

Shen Zhixi: "......"

How do you feel like you haven't done anything serious......

Here, Shen Zhixi finished drawing her eyebrows, and Gu Yuan also curled her hair, Shen Zhixi suddenly asked, "Lu Ran is here?" ”

Gu Yuan smiled, "How do you know?" ”

"See." Shen Zhixi motioned for him to look outside, "Wearing a flying fish suit in the middle of the day, who else is so idle except him?" ”

Gu Yuan said with a smile: "People are not idle, he came to you to discuss important matters." ”

"What's the matter?"

"It's a long story, you'll know when you see them."

Hearing this, Shen Zhixi instructed the kitchen to heat up breakfast, and talked with Lu Ran while eating.

At the dinner table, Lu Ran explained: "That's the case, Zhao Jianghuai, the governor of Liangjiang, personally wrote a letter to Nian'er, saying that he planned to merge the Guangling Naval Division with the Nanyang Naval Division into the Jiangnan Naval Division, and Nian'er planned to write to tell him that this matter was feasible, but the Nanyang Naval Division must ensure that the 30,000 Guangling Naval Division was equipped with Western warships. ”

"Zhao Jianghuai wants Guangling Water Division?" Gu Yuan frowned, "I worked with Zhao Jianghuai in the Beiyang Naval Division before, and I have dealt with him for several years. Twilight, show me your letter. ”

Lu Ran handed him the letter.

After Gu Yuan roughly read the contents of the letter, his brows tightened.

Shen Zhixi turned the bamboo dragonfly in her hand boredly.

"Gu Linxi, didn't you say that you knew Zhao Jianghuai?" Lu Ran couldn't help but ask.

Gu Yuan frowned, "It's about 30,000 Guangling Water Masters, I can't judge him because of my past friendship with him, I have to go to Jiangnan to meet him." ”

Shen Zhixi put down the bamboo dragonfly in his hand and said very seriously: "Now Nian'er has no other way than to hand over the Guangling Water Division to Zhao Jianghuai. ”

"What do you mean by that?" Lu Ran was puzzled.

Shen Zhixi asked rhetorically: "If you were Ah Heng, would you rest assured that the Guangling Water Master would be in the hands of Nian'er and the Gu family behind her?" ”

Gu Yuan also got up at this time and fished out the bamboo dragonfly, "Your Highness is right, the emperor is her younger brother after all, and she knows his character best." ”

Lu Ran pursed his lips, but he still didn't mention in front of Shen Zhixi that Shen Heng had whipped him dozens of times.

Shen Zhixi continued: "Therefore, the thing that can keep Nian'er safe is to hand over the military power in her hands, so that Ah Heng will not be suspicious of her." ”

Gu Yuan nodded in agreement.

Lu Ran said "um", "I'll go back and tell Nian'er, and she will make the decision." ”

After Gu Nianqiu listened to Lu Ran's relay, he was silent.

After a long time, she asked softly, "Is Zhao Jianghuai credible?" ”

Lu Ran frowned, "This is Ah Yuan's friend, can you trust it...... Ah Yuan has never been wrong about people. ”

Gu Nianqiu bowed slightly, "It's useless to put it horizontally and vertically in my hand, so I'll hand over the Guangling Water Master to him." ”

"There is only one point, the Guangling Sailor is not a family member in his hands, if he has a different heart......" Gu Nianqiu pondered for a moment, and then said, "In this way, half of the talismans for mobilizing the army will be handed over to Zhao Jianghuai, and the other half will be controlled by the Gu family." ”

Lu Ran knew that what she said was handed over to the Gu family, which was in the hands of the future head of the Gu family, her elder brother, and her sibling Gu Yuan.

It seemed that for a moment, Lu Ran saw Gu Yuan's shadow from her.

The little girl who was once protected by him can already be on her own, and he is very happy.

But she can't be that innocent girl anymore.

In the afternoon, as soon as Gu Yuan returned to Tangli Courtyard, Fang Congzhe walked in with a stack of gift boxes in his arms, "Gu Linxi, don't you have a guest in your house?" I asked Yu An to help Ti slip in, and he said it wasn't his business. ”

Gu Yuan smiled and took the things in his hand: "Thank you Brother Zhonghan for your kindness, but this matter is really not in his hands, I sent him another errand." ”

Fang Congzhe pouted: "Don't thank me, Lord Lu Jing sent it, I'll tell you what's going on in a while." ”

Gu Yuanqi said: "How can you be like a frosted eggplant, what else can you do?" ”

Fang Congzhe asked Gu Yuan for a cup of tea and drank it all, and then explained: "Lu Ran went to the palace today and asked the emperor for an errand to go down to the south of the Yangtze River for disaster relief, and then Lord Lu didn't agree when he found out, I heard that the two of them are still quarreling now." ”

There was a lot of information in Fang Congzhe's words, and Gu Yuan couldn't help but be stunned for a moment: "That...... What did Lord Lu say? ”

"How do I know about the affairs of the old Lu family, he is also coming in a while, let me hear what he is doing." Fang Congzhe turned to Gu Yuan again, "Linxi, do you remember the friend I said yesterday who has a lot of experience in studying river affairs?" ”

Gu Yuan invited him to come because he wanted to know who this person was, "Brother Zhonghan, who is the name of this genius who governs the river you are talking about?" ”

"Huang Huai, Huang Zongyu." Fang Congzhe explained, "It is the Huang Zongyu who fell to Sun Mountain because of the fraud of Cui Xianchun's son's scientific expedition. ”

Gu Yuan nodded, "Take me to meet him when you have time." Also, the book on the bus has been making a lot of trouble in the city these days, and you have to give me an account. ”

"What?"

"Does this have anything to do with you?"

Fang Congzhe frowned, "You didn't investigate and didn't have evidence, how can you think that I did this?" ”

"You have a grudge against Cui Xianchun." Gu Yuan said calmly, "Huang Huai is also your friend. ”

"That's it?"

"If it were just because of this clue, I wouldn't have invited you over." Gu Yuan said slowly, "The most important thing is that you say it yourself." ”

Fang Congzhe patted his head, "Why did you forget that Brother Linxi was also born in Jinyiwei, disrespectful, disrespectful." ”

Gu Yuan smiled: "It's okay, even I myself almost forgot that I used to be the Fusi of Beizhen." ”

It was the twenty-fifth year of Zhenyuan, and when he first entered the official career, he had to be relied on by the first emperor to spy on the intelligence of Beili for Dazhao in Jinyi Weibei Town.

A few years ago, Jinyiwei's external intelligence agency had not been infiltrated by the Beili Privy Council, and Beizhen Fusi had almost cracked all the layout of the Privy Council in Yandu in the hands of Gu Yuan and a few young people.

However, during the Jinghe period, Jinyiwei no longer supervised the government and the opposition, and the annual allocation of funds was greatly reduced, and the existing funds alone could not support the thousands of spies planted in the Beili territory.

Those who are capable of being spies are generally people who seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and Jinyiwei can't come up with enough money to support them, and it is only a matter of time before they are rebelled by the Privy Council.

Therefore, the establishment of an intelligence agency to share the functions of Jinyiwei is very important for Dazhao.

The Xuanhui Academy, which was established for a short time in the previous dynasty, is the best choice.

Gu Yuan was still in a fugue, and Fang Congzhe interrupted his reverie with words: "Gu Linxi, what are your nerves?" ”

Gu Yuan kicked him: "While you stay, there are many things to do." ”

Fang Congzhe pouted, "You're not a literati?" ”

As soon as the words fell, Fang Congzhe realized that one of them was really not a literati.

That was Lu Ran who pushed the door in just now.

"It's coming very quickly, let's talk about it, what did you say to the emperor?" Gu Yuan raised his eyes to look at Lu Ran with a shallow smile in his eyes.

Lu Ran pulled out a chair and sat down, "What else can you say?" Seriously, Linxi, you don't know if you're resting at home today, but it's a mess in the court. ”

Gu Yuan frowned, "But because of the Jianghuai flood?" ”

Lu Ran nodded and said, "It's because of this, what can you do?" ”

Fang Congzhe took over, "I just recommended someone to Brother Linxi, maybe it can be used." ”

"Elder Li Daonan?" Lu Ran was stunned for a moment, and quickly reacted, "Isn't he in Tuntian, Xuzhou, with Shen Chengyi, the prince of King Qin?" ”

Gu Yuan explained: "It's not Mr. Li, it's his protégé Huang Huai, Huang Zongyu. ”

Lu Ran was puzzled: "The two of them still have this relationship?" ”

"Listen to me, both of you. There is Zhao Jianghuai in Jiangnan, and things will not be too bad after all. Fang Congzhe said quietly on the side, "So don't leave yet, Yandu seems to be about to change recently." ”

Gu Yuan took a sip of tea and said slowly: "I think not only is it going to change the sky, but it is also a storm, but it may not be able to fall." ”
