Gu Yun was still immersed in the story of the Northern Barbarian envoy and Li Feng's broken leg. He couldn't recall it for a moment, and continued inexplicably: "Miss Chen? I can't say that I'm familiar with her - she doesn't like to talk to others, why?"

Shen Yi heard this and said unfairly: "I have worked for you as a military doctor in that ghost place in the northwest for so long without any complaints, and you can't even say that I am familiar with you?"

The four words "unlucky and unlucky" have already appeared from between Admiral Shen's brows.

Gu Yun: "...ah?"

Shen Yi looked at him with anger.

One of the two was in a state of disbelief, and the other was furious. They looked at each other in disbelief for a long time before Gu Yun finally came to his senses. He said "Ah" and looked at Shen Yi with a strange look: "What are you doing?" Do you mean it?"

Shen Yi, who had been chattering endlessly in the past, suddenly closed his mouth, his cheeks tightened, and he took on the look of a martyr who refused to speak. He faced Gu Yun's malicious gaze heroically and became a mouthless gourd.

Gu Yun raised his eyebrows innocently, stretched out a finger and poked Shen Yi's chest: "Sir, Master Shen, didn't the saint tell you, 'Don't pry if you're not polite'? In broad daylight, you and I are two bachelors. Is it okay to get together and ask about other people’s eldest girls?”

He remembered Shen Yi's unceremonious scolding just now, and immediately inserted the knife back at every opportunity: "Dirty."

Shen Yi: "..."

Gu Yun picked up such a huge handle like Shen Yi for no reason. He felt very comfortable, his waist and back no longer ached, and he walked out in a leisurely manner, playing the flute that matched his skill. A whistle that has the same effect but has the same effect.

"Gu Zixi!" Shen Yi gritted his teeth and caught up, "You...you..."

You bastard!

It was like insulting his boss in broad daylight on the street. Shen Yi used all his strength to hide the last words.

Gu Yun had entertained him for a while, and the two of them had left the general behind and walked towards the imperial city together. Then he said seriously: "Miss Chen's character is beyond words, and she is also very capable - like you." Yes, I guess it shouldn't be a problem for her to beat three or five at once."

Although this was a very offensive statement, Shen Yi didn't feel offended when he heard it at this time. Instead, he listened with interest - especially when Gu Yun talked about the first time he met Chen Qingxu on the Jiangnan pirate ship many years ago. Hearing Shen Yi sigh sadly, he wished he could be there.

"As for her temperament, likes and dislikes... I don't know too much. Maybe Chang Geng is familiar with her." Gu Yun paused, "But I want to tell you about her family background."

"I know the Chen family of Shanxi Prefecture," Shen Yi continued. "Miracle doctors have been born from generation to generation. They hang pots to help the world. The family tradition is very upright."

Gu Yun sneered slightly: "You can tell me clearly. Are you planning to come to propose marriage?"

Shen Yi said seriously: "Three matchmakers and six hires are indispensable."

Gu Yun: "..."

This brother of his is a strange person. He read a lot in his early years and was deeply poisoned by the traditions of his family. However, he only preached "ethics" to others and was strict with others. He closed the door and was dirty to himself, and nothing was affected. , are all a bunch of tacit prudes.

Only the Shen family member is different. In the eyes of outsiders, he abandoned the Imperial Academy and joined the Lingshu, and later degenerated into a layman. He can be said to be a "deviant" and got a reputation - but inside he is a "don't look at anything inappropriate, do not be polite" The true saying "Don't listen" is so serious that he hangs out with a bunch of veterans and ruffians all day long, and has stayed in the mud for more than ten years.

During this period of time, Chen Qingxu stayed in the capital and experienced various turmoils. The Chen family of Linyuan Pavilion probably had a lot of contact with Shen Yi. However, under these many contacts, the man named Shen did not dare to say anything to her face to face. He only dared to come and inquire with Gu Yun behind his back.

Judging from this meaning, he may not have even figured out the involvement of the Chen family and Linyuan Pavilion. He still thinks that Chen Qingxu is simply focused on serving the country!

Gu Yun sighed secretly, a piece of wood like Shen Yi simply didn't look like one of his subordinates.

"Then let me tell you something you don't know, and don't let it spread - the Chen family in Shanxi Prefecture is not an ordinary medical family, they are the mainstay of Linyuan Pavilion," Gu Yun whispered, "I heard Mr. Zhong mention it, Miss Chen seems to be the head of the Chen family of this generation. If that were the case, she would be unlikely to marry you as the admiral's wife."

Shen Yi was stunned immediately.

Gu Yun thought for a moment: "Otherwise, I'll find someone to talk to you and see what she thinks..."

"No, don't say goodbye yet," Shen Yi said hurriedly, "It's too abrupt."

Gu Yun: "..."

He felt that he was a little anxious like an emperor or an eunuch, but with Shen Yi's character, it was very likely that he would never be able to find a wife in his life, so he pointed out with experience: "You can't be anxious about this kind of thing, Brother Ji Ping, you can do it all by yourself." Don't let others get in first, then you won't have room to reason."

Shen Yi thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "Well don't say goodbye now, I'll think about it later."

Gu Yun shook his head after hearing this. He knew it too well. If a man hesitates after hearing a sentence about a woman's identity and background, it's probably just "somewhat interesting" and not necessarily specific. But for this kind of thing, He was not in a position to comment on how the person involved felt. He just said in a dispensable way: "Okay, think about it first, and tell me whenever you need me."

Shen Yi didn't listen to this sentence. He was immersed in his own thoughts and analyzed it seriously to Gu Yun: "I really didn't understand this situation before, but when you said it like this, I don't think it's appropriate. "

Gu Yun: "Hmm."

Shen Yi: "Then I have no choice but to wait until this battle is over. I will resign and I will no longer be a general."

Gu Yun: "..."

He almost fell off his horse.

Shen Yi was minding his own business and said with a sad face: "It's just that it's ominous to propose marriage before the battle begins - for people like us, if we care too much, we will easily be tied up on the battlefield, which is actually dangerous. If something happens, Wouldn't it be a waste of time for others? Alas... I'm afraid that if I go back after the war, time and people won't wait for me... It's really difficult to have both ends - Zi Xi, what do you think of a way to keep the rest of the people away? "

"...You don't have to worry about this. As far as I know, Miss Chen has this ability." Gu Yun paused, narrowed his eyes slightly, and suddenly smiled.

Shen Yi was confused: "What are you laughing at?"

Gu Yun: "Laughing at you. You have passed the imperial examination with literary talent, but the next day you went against the Imperial Academy. Yiran entered the Lingshu Academy. You have just made some achievements in the Lingshu Academy. Some people are speculating that you will be the successor of Feng Hangong." Man, you bid farewell to the Lingshu Academy and entered the Xuantie Camp as an armorer. Step by step, you have reached today with outstanding military achievements. You have finally found a path to the sky in the eyes of others... to relieve the siege of the capital. If you have a meritorious service in rescuing the driver, you may not be able to win the title of marquis or prime minister immediately. Others will think that your plan is right. It would be better for you to resign in order to marry a wife."

Shen Yi continued to smile sadly - he had no ambition to begin with, and he had been adhering to the heart of a wet nurse these years, taking care of this, taking care of that, and just following Gu Yun around. Unfortunately, there was too much blood around An Dinghou, so He was accidentally brought into the world, and what he got was not what he expected, so there was nothing he couldn't give up.

Some people's hearts change and change beyond recognition in three to five years, while others are like still water and have traveled thousands of miles without changing their original intentions.

Gu Yun looked at him and suddenly felt a little emotional. The slight depression that had arisen when he heard about the incident in the palace disappeared. He hooked Shen Yi's shoulder affectionately and patted him.

"If you need anything in the future, Ms. Chen, please let me run errands." Shen Yi was completely unaware of the ups and downs of Andinghou's mood. He was still worried and brooding, and unknowingly turned on the endless nagging mode, "That's it... Sigh, you said that since I have no reputation and no status, would it be bad if I kept looking for others? In the future, will people think that I am not very decent? Hey Zixi, just say something - forget it, you don’t need to say it. Yes, you are not very decent to begin with, I think..."

General Shen entered a process of repeated self-argument and self-doubt.

Gu Yun: "..."

Although you don’t need to change your original intention, it would be nice if you could change the fact that it keeps nagging you.

Gu Yun was filled with Shen Yi's constant chatter, which gave him a splitting headache. Finally, he couldn't bear it anymore, so he whipped Shen Yi's horse on the buttocks, and took the opportunity to escape.

At the same time, the news that "Yan Wangren was invited to the palace even in the suburbs" seemed to have wings, and it flew into the ears of those in the capital in a short time. Fang Qin was at home, and several staff members Others sat around him - this time Jiangbei was in turmoil, Fang Qin felt like he was marrying someone else.

To Fang Qin, Lu Yang's party was a bit like a bad tooth - although it grew in his mouth, it was always inflamed and painful. Not only was it difficult to help chewing, but it was often a hindrance. It would not be a bad thing to pull it out. But he did not expect Yan The king had so many tricks up his sleeve, and the bad tooth he had pulled out now had too many implications. King Yan was not in the capital, but he had already taken advantage of himself before he could recover and took advantage of the canal line.

Now that the Canal Office has been established, factories have sprouted up like bamboo shoots after a rain. This is an irreversible fact. With Fang Qin, an old fox with many years of ups and downs in officialdom, in the next step, a series of reforms such as land taxation, civil and commercial affairs, etc. will be carried out. Irreversible. He wanted to do a "mantis stalking the cicada, with the oriole behind", but he didn't expect that King Yan had already been dealing with him by "building the plank road openly and secretly sneaking into the warehouse". After one step and ten moves, he was still one step behind. trick.

There was a honeymoon period between Fang Qin and King Yan's military department when he first took charge of the household department, which was plagued with disease. At that time, the country fell, everything was in dire straits, and everything was in dire straits. No one was fighting with anyone, and the whole court was in trouble. They had known each other for a long time, and they had been struggling together to find a little room for change for their country. They respected and admired each other's talents, but they didn't know that they parted ways so quickly.

Fang Qin sometimes couldn't help but envy Jiang Hanshi. If the two of them were to change places, he thought that he would be much more powerful than Jiang Chong and Xu Ling. If his surname was not Fang, even if he had only worked hard for ten years to pass the exam, A seventh-grade official...

But the world is full of tricks - it's useless to think about it now. King Yan is determined to cleanse the old forces. After the turmoil in Jiangbei, the butcher's knife has been exposed. Now, they are as powerful as fire and water.

An aide said cautiously: "Sir, I heard that when the foreigners invaded back then, the emperor once mentioned the matter of passing on the throne to King Yan, and this time he has been summoned to the palace in such a hurry... Even after the world is at peace, the emperor

It doesn’t mean that anymore, and the important ministers that the prince had entrusted to him when he was young can’t escape. Shouldn’t we make plans in advance?”

Fang Qin came back to his senses and narrowed his eyes.

Another person said: "Originally, the last time Yang Ronggui rebelled in the name of King Yan, the emperor may not have had no grudges in his heart, but he came up with such a bitter trick, and took the opportunity of being injured to temporarily avoid the spotlight and stayed silent for such a long time...

…Now that the emperor has dispelled his doubts, he will take this opportunity to return to Beijing and take up his post, fearing that he will start to make big moves.”

Fang Qin was actually a little hesitant. He gently touched his beard and said: "The Northern Barbarians sent envoys. Jiangnan is still preparing for war. I'm afraid there will still be wars to be fought in two or three years. The people along the canal are in the ascendant and the refugees throughout the territory have just settled down. Now

If King Yan is moved at this time, will it be harmful to the country? If that is the case, I am afraid I will be infamous as a sinner for the ages."

The staff member smiled and said: "Your Majesty's loyalty to the court is admirable, but the court may not be able to survive without King Yan. Businessmen are despicable, and the so-called 'righteous businessmen' cannot escape their profit-seeking nature. As long as they are not harmed, they

What does it have to do with their interests, who has the final say in the court? With Mr. Fang’s concern for the country and the people, even without King Yan, we can still allow the refugees to settle down and fight the war - but you can

Think about it clearly, King Yan has great ambitions and is in a high position. Sooner or later, he will find ways to install his own gang members to suppress us. If he is so lawless and cannibalizes us, one day you and I will not be able to protect our wealth and life."

Everyone immediately agreed.

"Although King Yan is talented, his actions are too radical. If he is allowed to continue like this, I am afraid it will be a disaster for the country and the people."

"Master Fang can no longer give in. If he is allowed to rise to power, I'm afraid he really won't be able to tolerate us..."

Fang Qin sighed, stretched out his hand to suppress the noise in the court, turned around and said to the confidant next to him: "Go and get 'that person'."

A brewing storm is gathering again.

Chang Geng, who was unaware of it, left the palace and returned to the Marquis Mansion. I don't know what Li Feng said to him. He seemed to be in a good mood. As soon as he got home, he went to Gu Yun and pestered him. He couldn't even eat without thinking.

Gu Yun didn't ask him what Li Feng said when he invited him to the palace. He could guess it by observing his words and expressions. He used his chopsticks to knock off King Yan's hands that were not handling the dishes properly and climbed onto his lap. He seemed to have mentioned inadvertently:

"When do you plan to return to the DPRK to take up your post?"

Chang Geng rubbed the back of his hand, served Gu Yun food in a flattering manner, looked at him absentmindedly and said: "I will go back after two days of rest. The emperor said that he is not energetic right now and wants me to return to my position as soon as possible - Zi Xi, you eat more.

"

Gu Yun waved his hand: "It's too late. Just give me a cushion. I feel uncomfortable after eating too much. Have you heard about the people sent by Yinghuo from Calais?"

"Well," Chang Geng nodded, held down his hand that was holding the tea cup, and filled him a bowl of soup, "it's up to Gu Shuai to decide how to discuss this matter."

"When beasts are seriously injured, they often pretend to be dying, luring the enemy to lower their guard, and then strike violently. Be careful." When Gu Yun said this, he glanced at Chang Geng and blew away the vegetable leaves in the soup.

, drink it all in one gulp.
