After Sun Xu left the palace gate with a heavy heart, he talked about it with Gongsun Sheng, who was waiting outside. Gongsun Sheng immediately looked angry: "County Prince, wouldn't the Gao family chill the hearts of the people in the world by acting like this?"

Sun Xu smiled but said nothing, silently led the horse, and the two turned over and returned to Sun Xu's mansion together.

Xue Muhua was already waiting at the door of the mansion, and when he saw Sun Xu and the others coming back, he hurriedly beckoned his subordinates to lead the horse and welcome Sun Xu into the mansion. Sun Xu asked Xue Muhua as he walked inside, "How is Your Majesty's Holy Body?"

After Xue Muhua came to Tokyo, he took Sun Xu's handwritten letter to meet the Son of Heaven, asked for pulse diagnosis and treatment, and replied respectfully at the moment: "Your Majesty's holy body is fine, but it has been melancholy for many years, and he was weak when he was young, and he is ......" and then gently leaned into Sun Xu's ear: "In order to prevent Your Majesty from indulging in wine, the Empress Dowager deliberately put some bitter cold medicine in Your Majesty's diet, and Your Majesty has taken too much for a long time, resulting in kidney stagnation. ”

Sun Xu was not surprised by this diagnosis, and said, "It is consistent with what I saw." Is there a big problem?" Although he can use the method of treating Zhu Youshu and use his true qi to treat the Son of Heaven, it is fast and convenient. But there are many gods and monsters in this world, and as far as he knows, there is a stranger in the Gao clan. If he uses extraordinary means, I am afraid that it will lead to greater changes. So I want to find an ordinary way to get rid of the hidden disease of the Son of Heaven.

Xue Muhua shook his head, stroked his short beard lightly and said, "It's not difficult." You only need to open up the kidney meridians, calm your mind, and do a lot of activities on weekdays. ”

When Sun Xu heard him say this, he didn't worry about it anymore, and asked someone to arrange Gongsun Sheng's residence.

After the chores were done, he sat down in the hall, beckoned a man in a strong suit, took out a seal letter and an edict, and ordered with a serious face: "You leave for Luoyang immediately." So ...... so."

------------

The next day, Sun Xu led the edict of the Son of Heaven to choose a good house to be the marshal's mansion with the post of Pingzhang military and state affairs. After the Son of Heaven learned about it, he ordered Ouchi to transfer people to supervise the construction of the general's platform, and wait for the good day and auspicious day to worship the general.

This movement made the Gao family snicker, and secretly said in private, this county prince really doesn't know the height of the sky, and there is not a single soldier under him, but he still dares to take this important position, I'm afraid he is not in a hurry to die. These people made up their minds and waited until the day to see how the two brothers and gentlemen made a fool of themselves.

Empress Dowager Gao clearly said that she would not fight with the soldiers, but she couldn't control people like Xiao Officials. Therefore, the officials heard that Sun Xu was in charge of the western expedition and that there was a shortage of scribes in the Shuaifu, so they came to the Shuaifu to report. Yes, there is no shortage of Sun Xu's documents and master books with the army.

Sun Xu sent his grandson Sun Sheng to be in charge of the confidential military division and assigned affairs. He also sent a small official to take Sun Xu's handsome seal and the edict of the Son of Heaven, go to the palace marshal's mansion today to borrow a commander, tomorrow go to the palace to borrow a capital eunuch from the palace captain, and the day after tomorrow go to the privy envoy to borrow a commander.

The day before the general visit, Sun Xu sent many generals who had reported in the Shuaifu to come to discuss the matter. When someone reported that everyone was coming, Sun Xu moved to the festival hall in a hurry.

There were already dozens of people waiting here in the festival hall, those people were tall and low, fat and thin, but they were all sitting quietly on the chairs on both sides, and they didn't dare to breathe.

Although they all have official positions, they are all depressed people, and they are often looked down upon by their bosses on weekdays. Now he was seconded by the Guangping County Duke for no reason, and he didn't know the reason and was worried.

A few days after they came to the marshal's mansion to report, they also connected privately, but they found nothing, and they didn't know their respective positions. Today, the county prince has come to instruct him, and I don't know what will be arranged for them.

When everyone was thinking about how to respond, they heard someone outside the door shouting: "The military affairs of the Great Song Dynasty Pingzhang, the generalissimo of Pingxi, and the prince of Guangping County have arrived." ”

When everyone heard this, they immediately stood up respectfully and stood upright. When Sun Xu arrived in the hall and sat down, they all saluted and said, "I've seen the marshal!"

Sun Xu looked at everyone with satisfaction, nodded and said, "Let's all get up." Then he asked Xiang Gongsun Sheng: "Mr. Gongsun, I don't know any of these many characters, and I bother Mr. to introduce them to me." ”

Gongsun Sheng bowed down, stepped forward, pointed to a tall ugly man and said, "This is the Yamen defense envoy Baoyi Xuanzan Junma." ”

When Xuanzan saw him, he bowed down again.

Supposedly, he is also a national relative, and he should not be like this. But firstly, he had killed the county lord because of his appearance, and he was never allowed to reuse; secondly, it was precisely because he was a relative of the country that he had heard some secret history of the palace that others did not know, and knew that this marshal was a descendant of Taizu. In the face of such an important person, he did not dare to slack off.

Seeing that he was so respectful, Sun Xu smiled and said, "Junma, why should your family be so polite." ”

Xuanzan was still nervous, but when he heard this, he was stunned, and he was so excited that he almost didn't cry.

I think that back then, he once fought against Lianzhu Arrow, won the general, and was recruited by the prince to be his son-in-law. But the county lord thought it was ugly and died with a grudge. Now that the county lord is dead, how can he live up to his name? This change has made him unable to raise his head in front of people since then. Sun Xu was so close to him at this time, which made his heart warm, and he even felt that he had met the master, and thanked him at the moment: "Half a life of wandering, today I have to return to the marshal, I am willing to serve the death force!" After speaking, he respectfully got up and retreated aside.

Seeing this, Gongsun Sheng couldn't help but secretly say, this county prince is really a heroic lord, and he can move a good man in just a few words.

Previously, he studied art in Erxian Mountain with his master, and he had heard the name of the Duke of Guangping County, but he had always been puzzled by his meaning, and today he is well-known. Then he pointed to a man with a leopard's head and eyes, and a tiger's beard: "This person is the head of the 800,000 forbidden army, Lin Chong." He pointed to a middle-aged man next to him and said, "This is the head of Wang Jinjiao." ”

Sun Xu looked at these two heroic sect leaders and said with a smile: "I have heard that there are two sect leaders with excellent martial arts in the forbidden army, and I am honored to meet them today. Lin Jiaotou, is your father-in-law in good health?"

Lin Chong saw that Sun Xujun was the honorable man, and he would inquire about his family affairs, and he was speechless for a while, but he just bowed and stood there.

Seeing that he was so restrained, Sun Xu walked up to Lin Chong and patted him on the shoulder: "Lin Jiaotou is a good martial artist, and he will definitely contribute to the country!" There was a little encouragement in his tone.

Hearing this, Lin Chong's seven-foot man's blood soared again, his head was raised slightly, and he replied with confidence: "Yes!"

Lin Chong has some ability. But all along, he has neither authority nor backing, what can he do? Today, a person like Sun Xu values him so much, and he must serve the county public!

Sun Xu nodded, looked at Wang Jin again, and said, "The head of the Wang sect is very capable. Dare to beat the relatives of the Empress Dowager Gao, and are you not afraid of condemnation?"

When everyone heard this, they quietly looked at each other, thinking that Sun Xu was going to cure the king's sin. At that moment, a few people who had a good friendship with Wang Jin knelt on the ground and pleaded: "The county prince is glorious! The person who taught the head of the Wang sect is a bad skin, and he will bully people on weekdays, and the head of the sect can't hold back for a while. Please raise your noble hand!"

Sun Xu didn't expect them to react like this, and laughed a few times and said, "Do the officials think that Ben Shuai is a dumb official who doesn't distinguish between right and wrong?"

Everyone shook their heads in a daze, and didn't dare to say anything.

Sun Xu looked at Wang Jin again and said: "Don't I know that the head of the Wang sect is righteous and insistent? If the Gao clan wants to take revenge, they must first pass my level!"

When everyone heard this, they were reassured. When they saw that Sun Xu, an ordinary lord, had such a big deal to do for Wang Jin, who had never known him, they all admired him. Now under his command, the generals are single-minded, and they can just show their strengths.
