Gu Yuecong said: "Your Majesty, the moon tribute is a matter of great importance, not only involving the eighteen major sects and the eight princes' families, but also ...... The grass people are only afraid that the grass people will have negative hopes. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

The emperor said, "Do you know why I agreed without thinking about it?"

Gu Yuecong said: "The grass people don't know. ”

The emperor said: "Whether it is his people or my people escorting, the other party will definitely come to rob it." The moon tribute is in our hands, and the winning side will always be bigger. ”

Gu Yuecong said: "The emperor is wise. After a pause, he said: "But the grass people don't understand, since the moon tribute is in whose hands, whoever has a greater chance of winning, why would Liu Lei Ao hand over this matter to the grass people?"

Emperor: "You have done a few big things on the surface, but you have lived in seclusion all these years, and you are a nameless junior in the rivers and lakes after all, he sees that I am more important than you, and you will not be able to become a climate, so he pushed the boat down the river and sold me a face, so as to cover up his jackal heart." ”

Gu Yuecong asked again: "Liu Lei has a lot of minions in the northwest, he can send people to rob him at this time, but why did he wait until the moon tribute is halfway to do it?"

The emperor said: "Baiyue Gong is transported out of Tongtianfu in the northwest every year, Tongtianfu is easy to defend and difficult to attack, guarded by Zheng Shouwei, my love general, there has been no mistake for decades, Liu Lei Ao wants this silver, and he can only wait for Baiyuegong to go out of the mansion to have a chance of winning." Fortunately, Liu Leiao's dog food and grass are not yet ready, and he has not yet torn his face with me, so he does not dare to force me to make an order in advance. ”

Gu Yuecong pondered for a moment and said, "The grass people are brave, please ask about it." ”

The emperor said, "You say." ”

Gu Yuecong said: "The grass people have heard in their ears recently, and they all say that General Qi and General Ha have been fighting horses for half their lives and have always been loyal to the emperor, but they suddenly defected, I don't know what the reason is?"

When the emperor heard this, he sighed and said: "I know that these two things, these servants in the palace dare not say it openly, but secretly they have already spread it, but I didn't expect you to enter the palace for only half a day, and you already know it." After a pause, he continued: "For some reason, why don't I want to know, I have sent someone to investigate, but so far nothing has been found." ”

Gu Yuecong said: "If you can find out the middle of the committee, it is unknown whether you can make the two generals lose their way and return." ”

The emperor nodded and said, "The affairs of this palace, you have just arrived, so don't ask about it, I only ask you, are you willing to escort this tribute for me?"

Gu Yuecong knew that this matter was very important, thought for a long time, and said: "The emperor has a decree, and the grass people will never give up, but they ...... I am afraid of losing God's grace. ”

The emperor said: "Since I have entrusted you with such a heavy responsibility, I can trust you, and I also said that there is an old thing like Ouyang Yanjue." ”

Gu Yuecong thought to himself: "In the final analysis, the Bloodthirsty Sect is only a faction in the rivers and lakes, and the sect leader has only a thousand people, but listening to the emperor's tone, he actually relies on the sect leader very much, it seems that such a major matter related to the country and the society must be him, but why is this?"

Just as he was hesitating, the emperor suddenly got up and said, "Gu Yuecong listens to my words. ”

Gu Yuecong said: "The grass people are here. ”

The emperor said: "I now seal you as the envoy of the three grades of imperial tribute, and order that the moon tribute will be sent back to Beijing before the August Festival, and there must be no mistake." ”

Gu Yuecong saw that the emperor forced him to pay tribute, and he was horrified, knowing that the king's order was difficult to disobey, so he had to say: "The grass people obey the order." ”

The emperor laughed, seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and said, "You kid, don't eat and drink when you toast." I tell you that the moon tribute is related to the millions of Li people west of Dunhuang and south of Kazakhstan, and if you do this well, I will be rewarded, but if there is a mistake, I will deal with it by military law. ”

Gu Yue Cong said in his heart: "The moon worship tribute is very important, once there is a mistake, it can be saved by a mere death." said: "The grass people still have something to ask for." The emperor said: "Give me the conditions to talk about, what's the matter?" Gu Yuecong said: "Before returning to Beijing to worship the moon, please ask the emperor to protect the eight princes' family." ”

The emperor snorted and said, "What is the reason for you to plead with him repeatedly and five times?" After a slight pause, he suddenly said: "Won't you and that girl already know each other?"

Gu Yuecong was stunned, thinking that the emperor would inevitably ask about Long'er's whereabouts, and answering "no" was the crime of bullying the king, so he didn't dare to respond for a while. Nie Guifei said softly: "Your Majesty, as soon as you say this, the concubine suddenly has an idea, Gu Gongzi and Long'er are a talented and beautiful girl, when we find Long'er's sister, Gu Gongzi will successfully return to Beijing with tribute, why doesn't the emperor marry them?"

Gu Yue Cong said secretly: "Nie Guifei is so smart. said: "Thank you for your kindness, the matter of marriage, after all, it is still a word of fate, and the grass people are a martial artist, how dare they attach themselves to the phoenix wings." ”

When the emperor heard this, he looked at the two of them, smiled, and said to Nie Guifei: "Aifei, I am a little tired today, and I will accompany you in the Scarlet Palace tomorrow night." ”

Nie Guifei bowed and said, "The concubine is waiting for the emperor at any time." ”

The emperor strode out and said, "Xiao Shunzi, go back to the Palace of Raising the Heart." ”

As soon as the emperor left, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Ouyang Long'er climbed out of the cabinet again, picked up the tea on the table and drank it, and said, "The eunuch has come to the emperor again, but I'm dying of thirst." ”

The four of them sat down separately, and discussed the matter of the tribute in detail from beginning to end, and they all felt that the arrow was already on the string, and the most important thing at the moment was how to escort the moon tribute back to Beijing, but the enemy was strong and I was weak, and it was not easy to discuss a perfect strategy for a while. After discussing for a while, everyone gradually mentioned the matter of investigating the defection of General Qi and General Ha, Nie Guifei said: "General Qi has returned to his hometown, his soldiers and horses are already in the hands of Liu Leiao, General Ha is stationed forty miles west of the capital, but there are heavy guards on all sides, not to mention that it is difficult to enter, even if he sees General Ha, he may not say anything." ”

Gu Yue Cong said: "How is that good?"

Zhu Tianhao said: "I think it's better to start with Liu Leiao, although this guy has bad intentions, but after all, he doesn't know martial arts, and he is only the chief eunuch, with the martial arts of the ancient virtuous brother, it is not easy to enter and exit the worship room." ”

Everyone felt reasonable, and Gu Yue Cong said: "I don't know where the Jingshi room is in the palace?"

Ouyang Long'er said: "I know, I'll take you there." ”

Gu Yuecong said: "You are wanted inside and outside the capital, you can't go." ”

Ouyang Long'er said: "I'm going to go, from now on, you eat, I eat, you sleep, I will watch you sleep, you go to the toilet, I will wait for you outside, in short, I will follow you wherever you go, don't think about doing bad things again." ”

Gu Yuecong listened to it with a hot face. Nie Guifei also bowed her head and was silent, and after a while, she said, "You must go later." ”

Gu Yuecong asked, "Why is it after the time?"

Nie Guifei said: "When Liu Lei Ao arrives, he will definitely stay. ”

Gu Yue Congqi said: "Why is this?"

Zhu Tianhao said: "Three years ago, Gonggong Liu suddenly suffered from a strange disease, and every time he arrived, he had to go back to the room to sleep, and the thunder could not move, and everyone in the palace knew it. ”

Gu Yuecong was even more surprised, and said, "If the emperor summons him, won't he get up to meet him?"

Zhu Tianhao said: "There are no major events in the palace on weekdays, and besides, except for me, Zhu Tianhao, who doesn't sleep when he arrives in Hai? ”

Ouyang Long'er said: "Brother Gu, we are going to leave Beijing today, why don't we go tonight?" ”

When Ouyang Long'er thought of visiting Jing's room at night, he didn't feel sleepy, and said in a loud voice: "Steward Zhong, let me in!"

After a while, Steward Zhong stood trembling at the door and asked, "What's the matter with the housekeeper?"
