Chapter 40: Righteousness

Gu You entered the Jiedu Mansion, just in time to see the Jiedu envoy Xian Yu Xiang go out to see off guests, and whispered to his best friend Sun Staff next to him, it turned out that this person's surname was Liu Luogu, and he came to An Lushan for Fanyang Jiedu.

Sun Muyou chuckled: "The surname Liu is not ashamed, saying that An Jiedu plans to send troops to help and kill the people who disobey the king in Nanzhao." ”

Gu You was shocked: "I'm going to negotiate here, why do I have to use troops again?"

Sun Muyou said: "He sent it to the door himself, but he was rejected by Jiedu, An Hu'er and Yang Xiang are enemies, how can we Jiannan borrow his soldiers?

Gu You was relieved at this time, and when he sent Liu Luogu away, he entered the hall and replied: "Congratulations on the festival, Gu Zuo'er has softened, and this time the lower official is here to report the results." ”

Xian Yu said to Xi: "Really?

Gu You said: "Send 10,000 yuan first, and then ship the rest one after another." ”

Xian Yu was disappointed: "Why is it only 10,000?"

Gu You said a few words for Nanwu Prefecture, and once again promised that it would be sent within ten months.

Xian Yu said: "We have a limited time at the end of February, and now it's April, and we only handed over 10,000 yuan, I'm afraid you were tricked by Gu Zuo!"

Gu You said: "It's not like this......"

Xian Yuxiang had a gloomy face: "No matter what, you must be punished one or two, otherwise the face of Jiedu Mansion will be gone!"

In mid-April, Gu You came to Nanwu Prefecture again and brought with him the punishment order of Jiedu Prefecture: it was strictly forbidden to export grain, salt, military armor, blades, magic circles and other materials to the relevant edicts.

Gu You still appreciated this, this punishment was not to the point of completely tearing his face, and at the same time, he added the hole card to call for the payment of the effect. He rushed to Nanwu Prefecture with this ban in hand, showed it to the original Taoist and Liu Xuanji and others, and asked them to start shipping the reimbursement money as soon as possible - his waist stood up again.

Gu Zuo actually hid in the Mansion of Wu Guogong, less than a hundred zhang away from the Changshi Academy, while "healing" his wounds, he taught his disciple Li Yu the cultivation.

Such a ban is of no use to the high-level officials of the Changshi Mansion, because the Jiedu Mansion cannot control Lingnan Road, and Jiannan Road does not import food and other materials, and Gu Zuo can import it from Lingnan Road. In fact, even if it is the local Luofu Zhao and Qingcheng Zhao of Nanzhao, whether they abide by this ban depends on whether the two factions are willing to give Xian Yuxiang face.

The real intention of this ban is to show determination, prohibiting the import of large quantities of strategic materials, which is usually the first step to start the process of using troops.

In the next month, Gu Zuo's original conjecture was confirmed, and it was the Qingcheng Edict that really implemented the ban of the Jiedu Mansion, and the Luofu Edict showed that he was obeying the etiquette, but he was still selling relevant materials to Gu Zuo, but it was changed from Zhengda Guangming to private, and it was not too public.

After May, the Jiedu government issued a further ban, prohibiting all civilians and monks from entering Lishui, Montenegro, Yongchang, Tonghai, and Nanwu Prefecture, and sent men to inspect the roads related to the Qingcheng and Luofu edicts.

That is, you are allowed to go out and not to enter.

This ban is also of little use, and there is a big opening on Lingnan Road, so the ban is useless. It is said that Luo Fuzhao had sent people to Yizhou to negotiate with Xian Yuxiang, who they believed that this article violated the promise made by the imperial court when it closed the country.

Yang Jian, the former judge of the Jiedu Mansion who came all the way from Yizhou, said to Gu Zuo: "The political hall is controlled by Yang Guozhong, he acquiesced to Xian Yuxiang's approach, and I heard that he also met with the people sent by Luo Fu Zhao to Chang'an to complain, I don't know what benefits he promised, in short, Luo Fu Zhao began to act according to Xian Yuxiang's requirements, closed the passage to the south, and embarwent related materials. If I had come a few days late, I would not have been able to go south from Luofuzhao, so I would have had to make a detour to Lingnan. ”

Gu Zuo thanked him: "Thank you for Judge Yang's guidance, and please rest assured that the Huaixian Pavilion will never forget the people who have helped us." What is Yang Juan's next step?"

Yang Jian said: "I don't have any plans, Yang Guozhong asked the officials to remove me from my official status, and finally I have time to live a quiet life, refining qi and serving pills, leisurely traveling in Linquan, tasting tea and chess, writing poems and paintings, that's all." ”

Gu Zuo thought for a while and said: "If Yang Judge does not give up, it is better to stay in Nanwu Prefecture, I have no one to take up the post of Shou Wangyou here, I don't know what the respect is? ”

This piece of farewell was approved from Wang Wei and was worth 3,000 yuan. Yang Jian was originally a descendant of the Yang family of the wealthy clan in Jiannan Province, and he served in the Yizhou officialdom all the year round, and he knew the situation in Jiedu Mansion and Yizhou very well, so Gu Zuo started Yang Jian's idea.

Yang Jian happily accepted: "Yang Mouben is dead set on officialdom, and has no intention of being nostalgic for power, but he can't get used to Yang Zhao and Xian Yu Xiang harming the world. ”

Gu Zuo was overjoyed and immediately issued a notice appointing Yang Jian as "Shou Wangyou".

The first thing Yang Jian did when he took office was to remind Gu Zuo: "The ban of Jiedu Mansion still can't be ignored, and you are not allowed to enter, this is a sign of preparing to use troops, which is aimed at the hearts of the people, and it is very stressful for ordinary monks and ordinary people." I know that I am not afraid of Changshi, but if I want to confront the Jiedu Mansion, there is one thing to remember, I can't give up the name of righteousness. ”

Gu Zuo hurriedly asked, and Yang Jian said: "Actually, it is not difficult to occupy the righteousness, throughout the ages, it is nothing more than the side of the Qing monarch." ”

"Zhu Yang Zhao, Qingjun's side?"

"Although I despise Yang Zhao and wish he would fall, I have to say that it is not the best policy to punish Yang Zhao and clear the monarch's side. Will Changshi lead his troops into Chang'an? I'm afraid not? Since this is the case, he can't punish Yang Zhao, and he can't punish Yang Zhao, and the banner on the side of the Qing monarch will always have to be carried, and he can't collect it. ”

Gu Zuo arched his hand and said, "Be taught!"

Yang Zhao said again: "Yang is worried, Changshi still has to be prepared, before he was dismissed, that is, last month, I heard that the Jiedu Mansion was negotiating with the envoy of the Lishui edict. ”

Gu Zuo was a little surprised: "No, right? Lishui sent the lord of the country to come to my Nanwu Prefecture many times, saying that he wanted to advance and retreat together, how could he negotiate with Xian Yuxiang......?

Yang Zhao said: "The root is still in Gu You, who joined the army in Zizhou, Changshi left Gu You in Nanwu Prefecture, ate and drank well, and asked him to send 10,000 yuan to Jiedu Mansion." I know that this is a long-term strategy, one is to delay time, and the other is to cause public anger, both of which have been achieved for a long time, but they have ignored their friends outside, how do you let the Lishui faction feel about it?"

Gu Zuo was shocked and shocked: "Fortunately, Mr. woke up, and he almost made a mistake." ”

Yang Jian nodded and asked, "The sergeant has been trained, and the military is ready?"

Gu Zuo said: "Everything is ready. ”

Yang Jian said: "That's ...... Long history can win people's hearts. ”
