Gu Zuo didn't go anywhere, and even Du Qiao sent people from the Su Immortal Pavilion, he just met, and after a brief conversation, he asked the butcher and the original Taoist chief to accompany him.

He was very busy now, busy with his own cultivation, mainly occupying seven and a half hours from the evening to the next morning, trying to absorb one spirit stone every day, and the rest of the time was occupied by more and more frequent cases.

These cases include: bribing mining monks in the ore veins with large sums of money, stealing spirit stones from inside and outside, stealing auction houses in Southern Wu Prefecture, robbing merchants and travelers, and even killing people and goods in southern Xinjiang.

One of the things that made him anxious recently was a private battle that broke out between the two small sects of Yongzhou and Wu'an Prefecture, Yongzhou's Fuhu Gate was wiped out by the Divine Eagle Sect of Wu'an Prefecture, and the Divine Eagle Sect itself suffered heavy losses, with only six people remaining. In this big case, forty-five people died in the two sects together, and the initial cause was only because of the conflict that broke out between the young disciples of the two families over six spirit stones.

The Wu'an Prefecture Law Division performed their duties perfectly, arresting all the six remaining people in the Divine Eagle Gate, and none of them escaped. After the case was reported to the Nanwu Prefecture Law Division, the entire Law Department was shocked, such a heavy casualty can be called the first in the Tang Dynasty in a century. Of course, it didn't take long for them to know that it wasn't the first, and there were even bigger tragedies in Zhongyuan Prefecture.

After Liu Xuanji discussed with Lu Ban, Yin Shu, and Qinggu, he couldn't make a ruling, so he could only come to Gu Zuo. But this case itself is not right or wrong, if there is really a mistake, it is also the fault of the spirit stone, both sects have not obtained a spirit stone for several months. Needless to say, the Fuhu Gate that was destroyed, and there are only six people left in the Divine Eagle Gate, are they all beheaded?

In the end, Gu Zuo couldn't give a conclusion, so he could only order the cancellation of the cards of the two sects, and all the six surviving people of the Divine Eagle Gate were sent to serve in the Lingshi Mine of Nanwu Mountain, and there was no ruling on when the service would end.

According to the statistics of the Department of Justice, since the beginning of this year, various cases of fire and homicide reported in the two edicts and eight prefectures have caused the death of hundreds of monks, and more than 60 monks have been locked up and put into mines such as Lingshi Mine and Gengjin Mine.

At the beginning, Gu Zuo was still very nervous, but later, especially when he learned about the situation of the Luofu faction, the Lishui faction and the Tang Sect, he gradually became numb - compared to these three, Huaixian Pavilion can be regarded as a "happy land".

These days, Gu Zuo often involuntarily looks at the north from afar, and keeps asking in his heart: "Li Yu, is this the result you want?"

Of course, Gu Zuo couldn't wait for Chongxuan's answer, but he waited for the Lingyuan Daoist to lobby again and again. The Chongxuan Agency wanted to recruit seven "young heroes" from Southern Wu Prefecture, and in the end, four of them chose to become Taoist priests of the Chongxuan Administration, and only three refused, these three were the county lord of Qingyuan, Luo Jun and Qinggu.

Lingyuan Dao Master was very ashamed of this, and he explained to Gu Zuo that this was not his original intention. Of course, Gu Zuo knew that this was not the original intention of the Spirit Source Dao Master, so he could only accept it with a wry smile.

At the beginning of November, Yuan Zai came to Southern Wuzhou and conveyed to Gu Zuo the news that Li Zhai's envoy had heard.

"Didn't the gentleman ask last time, what does Your Majesty want so much money for?"

"How?

Yuan Zai said: "I don't dare to say that I have an answer, but Li Zhai Envoy did find out some rumors, Your Majesty is on Penglai Immortal Mountain in the Taiye Pool, it seems that he is cultivating talismans, this talisman is very strange, and it is necessary to offer incense money." ”

Gu Zuo said strangely: "What kind of talisman?

Yuan Zai shook his head: "We also want to know, sir, don't you plan to take a hexagram?"

Gu Zuo forcibly explained: "After all, he is the Son of Heaven, how dare he make a mistake? ”

What kind of rune the Son of Heaven cultivated, Li Zhai's envoy didn't know, so Yuan Zai couldn't answer, after Gu Zuo asked the Lingyuan Dao Chief, the Lingyuan Dao Leader also couldn't think of any sect in the world that needed to offer such a huge amount of incense money.

Obviously, Yuan Zai's status in the princelings has risen, and now that he is talking to Gu Zuo, he has begun to directly relay the prince's words: "The prince said, as Mr. expected, the Hebei rebellion is just around the corner, the prince wants to ask Mr., if something happens to Chang'an, can Mr. raise the flag to echo? or even lead troops north?"

Won Jae asked this question, indicating that the prince had turned from hiding behind the scenes to coming to the forefront, and he was already impatient. Also, whoever encounters such a loser "father" will be anxious, and no one wants the family property they will inherit to be lost by their father. At the same time, it also shows that the prince's power is growing day by day, and he already has a strong strength and can wrestle with the Son of Heaven.

So Gu Zuo asked: "Chen Xuanli was persuaded by the prince, and Long Wujun is willing to support the prince?"

Yuan Zai was stunned for a long time, then it was like waking up from a dream, and said with a wry smile: "Although I know that Changshi can be calculated, but it is unbelievable if I don't see it in person." So, will the gentleman support the prince? I remember you said before that the prince will be a great treasure. ”

Gu Zuo was silent for a moment and said, "Of course I am willing to support the prince, but I hope that the prince can be more proactive, and don't wait for An Lushan to erect an anti-flag and enter Chang'an." I can't bear to witness such a scene, and the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty will come to an end. ”

Yuan Zai said movingly: "Sir's compassionate heart, I will tell the prince." Then he sighed again: "It's just, it's difficult......"

Gu Zuo said: "Of course I know that this matter is extremely difficult, but the matter is man-made, I should go up to Zhongnan Mountain again, persuade Chongxuan Administration, and don't sit back and watch An Lushan cause trouble in the world." ”

Yuan Zai said: "Don't hide it, sir, the prince also begged to worship the Xuan Administration, but unfortunately those Taoist leaders didn't pay attention." ”

Gu Zuo said: "If you really ignore it, I will contact all sects to send troops together." Fan Yang and the Baiyun Sect, aren't they just three refining voids? We are not afraid! The problem in front of us has to fall on the prince, with all due respect, Gu Mou said bluntly, he is now dim, and what he has done is no longer the image of a human king, the world is looking forward to the prince for a long time, as long as the prince is on the throne, the edict will be given, and all the sects will respond in groups. ”

Yuan Zai also let go, and said: "If the prince admonishes the soldiers, I am afraid that the world will not accept it, this is the prince's biggest concern, how can he respond in groups?"

Gu Zuo said: "At least in the southwest, there are tens of thousands of male soldiers, which can be relied on for the prince." ”

Yuan Zai said again: "Hexi Feng Changqing, Tongguan Gao Xianzhi, and Guannei Ge Shuhan are all loyal to Your Majesty, how to deal with them?"

Gu Zuo said: "Feng and Gao are outside the customs, as for Ge Shuhan, he needs to be transferred out of the capital, or he can go out of Luoyang, in the political hall, isn't Wei Jiansu the prince's person? Let him find a way." ”

Yuan Zai sighed: "What else can I hide from my husband's eyes? I will immediately return to Beijing and persuade the prince to ......"

Suddenly there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside the courtyard, and the master rushed in in a panic, without even knocking on the door. When he came in, he stumbled and fell so that he could not fall.

I saw the master holding an official document in his hand, his face turned pale, and he shouted to Gu Zuo: "An Lushan is reversed!"
