Chapter 163 The death of his grandfather Gu Huai

If Gu Huai's political achievements were important in that year, the ninth rank Zhongzheng opened the Longmen for the poor scholars in the world, then Qi Yue's three measures really gave these poor scholars who could only be called vocal insects in the court, and a bridge to the political center of Dagan.

In the seventeen years since the founding of the country, although Gu Xiang had already taken the lead in accepting poor scholars and poor scholars had their own place in the temple, to be honest, their lives were not good. Even if the Ninth Century was abolished, those who were lying on the merit book of their ancestors were much higher than those who were poor scholars who were hanging their heads on the beams and thorns. Not to mention far, just looking at Lu Donglai, who brought the prince with his hat to read the official title as soon as he entered Chang'an. Many times, what poor scholars could do with their lifelong efforts was just the starting point when the seeds were born.

It is precisely because of this reason that although the number of poor scholars in the court is large, they are mostly used as vocal worms and kowtowers. A descendant of the sect laughed at the "two insects" and took them from vocal worms and kowtowers. Although their attitude is bad, it is not without some reason. Even if the poor scholars are ranked first, except for a few lucky people who can reach the third and fourth ranks, the rest are only capable of rank six or seven ranks. Over the years, those who have given the seeds and grandchildren have even looked down on the so-called poor scholars. Although the poor scholars have the will to turn over, they have no power to turn over.

If these scholars wanted to turn over and truly have the right to speak in the court, at least thirty years later, generations of political resources could be formed, and they could slowly gather sand to form towers and fur.

However, Qi Yue suddenly made a move, especially the establishment of an outer cabinet, which was equivalent to building a bridge between the two natural barriers of the clan and the scholar. The poor family with real talents and knowledge had hope to "climb the emperor's hall in the morning for the farmer's day and night". In this way, the ravines between the scholar and the clan were infinitely filled, and the original thirty-year group struggle period was shortened to ten or even five years by Qi Yue's three measures.

After Zhao Heng arranged the matters of the internal and external cabinets, he finally turned his eyes to Gu Xianfo. The court was silent. Everyone knew in their hearts that the topic had finally come after waiting for so long.

After a moment of silence, Zhao Heng finally asked with a smile: "King Xiliang, I have put such a heavy burden on your shoulders. Don't blame me for this. The terrain of Xiliang is a bit remote and deserted, but at least the flag is still on it. Just hit the flag. I can't let the people of Xiliang die on their own. I have considered it, but after counting, it's only King Xiliang, who can carry this hat."

Gu Xianfo bowed slightly and said in a deep voice: "The pharmacist should work hard to cure Xiliang and live up to His Majesty's expectations."

Zhao Heng nodded and continued to say gently: "Xiliang is different from other places. There is almost nothing available. No wonder these years have passed. The days in Xiliang are getting worse every year. If there are favorable factors, it is just a matter of Xiliang next to the grassland, but this is also a matter of mixed pros and cons. It is no easier to pull things out from the mouth of the grassland barbarians than to let the iron trees bloom. King of Xiliang, today I would like to ask you, dare you guarantee me and take me to fight the people of Xiliang and fight a way out of the grassland?"

Zhao Heng's hat was very big and heavy. The civil and military officials of the court naturally heard the bloody meaning of Zhao Heng's gentle words, but they were all silent and did not dare to touch His Majesty's bad luck at such a moment.

When Gu Xianfo heard such heart-killing words, his heart was abnormally calm like stagnant water. He bowed and said, "The Medicine Master should die for the Gan Banner. If one day the people of Xiliang cannot survive, they will use the Medicine Master to cook soup to relieve the suffering of hunger and thirst."

I don’t know if it comes from the heart, Zhao Heng laughed and clapped his hands and said, “The word “Xiliang King” is so pearls that reminds me of my youth. I can’t see the King of Xiliang on weekdays. This dynasty meeting will probably be the few times I meet with the King of Xiliang in the future. Today, I will take advantage of the opportunity of the dynasty meeting to have a good chat with the King of Xiliang.”

Gu Xianfo smiled and said, "Your Majesty, please listen carefully, the pharmacist."

After changing to a comfortable position, Zhao Heng crossed his hands on the shaky dragon robe on his abdomen with a rare disrespect, and said slowly: "My dear friends know that I am a commoner and my ancestors have never produced any famous generals and ministers. I can defeat this big task and make this chair. I rely on the mercy of God and the servants of my dear. When I just raised the flag, life was the worst. Now, a small number of the dear friends in the court are old men who followed me to conquer the world together, and more are newcomers who have only heard or read the deeds of that year. Then I will tell you now that my miserable situation at that time is several times worse than what is written in history books."

The court was quiet and silent. Zhao Heng waved his hand to signal the diner to stop writing. He said slowly: "When I just raised the flag, I was a young boy who had a young man under my command. He had only 180 weapons, but only 138 weapons. Those who were chased were running around and running, living a hard life, eating grass roots, drinking horse urine, which I have never experienced. Once, in order to avoid the pursuit, I and General Liu were soaked in the corpse all night. But then Although he tied his head to his belt, he still had hope for the future. He thought that he would no longer be anxious or a loser, that he would one day give the people of the world a peaceful and prosperous era where he could have enough food, and that he could recreate the magnificent period of the pre-Qin period, that the Huns were more than 700 miles away, so that the Lakers would not dare to go south to herd their horses. These thoughts, I and all the civil and military officials have done it slowly, but unfortunately what after doing it? But I have forgotten it slowly.”

Zhao Heng stood up, looked at the civil and military officials in Mantang and said word by word: "When I just established the country, I once said a word, and that sentence was talked about by the King of Xiliang several times in Xiliang. King of Xiliang, can you say it again in front of the civil and military officials in Mantang?"

Gu Xianfo said loudly: "What's wrong with this? What Your Majesty said at the beginning, 'The emperor guards the country', and the king dies in the country'. Although this statement is only a cross, it covers thousands of words. Whenever the pharmacist mentions this cross, all the men under his command are excited and passionate."

Zhao Heng paused and said, "What the King of Xiliang said is right. The emperor guards the country and the king dies in his life. Unfortunately, I am old now and cannot live without this palace and this Chang'an. King of Xiliang, I will ask you, are you willing to guard the Xiguo Gate for me?!"

Gu Xianfo held his fists and replied strongly: "The Medicine Master is willing to die for His Majesty for the Great Job and Xiliang!"
