Guo Song comforted Zhang Lei and Gan Feng, and then returned to the station. He unexpectedly saw Cao Wannian, who was writing a letter home for the soldiers. Didn't Cao Wannian want to go to Taixue to study? Why did he come here again?
"I invited him here!"
Li Ji walked to Guo Song and said: "I think we need a civilian officer here very much. On the way back to Beijing from Dunhuang, I found that he was very capable and helped us handle various military affairs in an orderly manner. At that time, I hoped that he could stay.
.”
Guo Song stayed for a moment and said: "I also know that he is very capable. After the death of Chongqing, he did shoulder the heavy responsibility, but is this a bit too sudden? Also, is he willing?"
Li Ji smiled slightly, "Chang Shi really thought he was here to study?"
"Is not it?"
"He himself may have this idea, but his father Cao Qingyun may not. His father hopes that he will pursue an official career in Chang'an."
"Can you pursue an official career by following me?"
"It depends on what he thinks, Chang Shi. I have to tell you that I have talked with everyone and all the brothers are willing to follow you. No one wants to go home."
Guo Song nodded, "Don't rush this matter with Cao Wannian. Let me think about it carefully."
........
Returning to his tent, Guo Song took out the gold box given to him by Emperor Li Yu, played with it for a while, then pulled out his dagger and slowly cut open the gold box.
There is a ring inside, as well as a roll of white silk. The white silk is handwritten by the emperor himself, but there is only one sentence written on it, "Hurry to Baofeng Restaurant in Licheng County. Your aunt asks for help. Please use the white jade ring as proof!"
Li Yu didn't write down the specific matter. This is also in line with the emperor's style of keeping everything secret and letting the ministers find the answers themselves. But it's pretty good. At least he told Guo Song that he was at Baofeng Restaurant in Licheng County and gave him a certificate.
Otherwise, just leave the words "Go to Licheng quickly" and he will be blinded.
Guo Song burned Bai Ling, pondered for a moment, stood up and walked out of the tent and said: "Let Li Ji come see me quickly!"
Not long after, Li Ji hurried over, clasping his fists and saying, "What are the instructions from the Chief?"
Guo Song pointed to the broken gold box and said: "I received a secret order from the emperor, asking me to go to Licheng County in Qizhou as soon as possible. I guess my uncle Gongsun Aunt Sun encountered some difficulties. I thought about it and we went in three groups.
, I will lead five elites to set off immediately, and then Liang Wu will lead the second group of soldiers to set off. You will be responsible for arranging the funeral arrangements for the rear camp, and then lead the remaining soldiers to set off. The armor and weapons will be returned to the Ministry of War, and the supplies you need will be sent to you.
Le Youju in our house is going to find Li An to solve the problem. Do you know Li An?"
Li Ji nodded, "We met once during the polo match. I remember you called him Uncle An."
"Yes! It's him. Just say that I asked you to come here. He knows you. All the supplies and money we need will be provided by him. You're welcome. His wealth is beyond your imagination."
After a pause, Guo Song continued: "If there is any change that requires you to stay, you can make your own decision."
"Remember your humble position!"
Guo Song wrote a list and handed it to Li Ji, "These five people are the first to follow me. Let them clean up and set off in an hour."
An hour later, as night fell, Guo Song and five soldiers left Chang'an silently, riding horses and galloping eastward.
........
Guo Song and his subordinates who were stationed in Qingxu Palace had already been closely monitored. As soon as Guo Song left, he was immediately discovered by the surveillance guards around him. The news was quickly uploaded and first reached the ears of Prime Minister Yuan Zai.
Since Guo Song voluntarily resigned from all official titles and titles, Yuan Zai felt a little passive. If the political affairs hall removed Guo Song from his official title, he could be charged with the following crimes, but Guo Song's voluntary resignation made people feel that Guo Song
Song was forced to resign, and public opinion was unfavorable to Yuan Zai.
But Yuan Zai has been in the officialdom for decades, how could he be intimidated by Guo Song's tricks? If Guo Song can't be ruined, then his life will be taken directly. Before Yuan Zai is thinking about how to accuse Guo Song,
At that time, Guo Song took action again and actually left Chang'an overnight, leaving Yuan Zai passive again.
Yuan Zai paced back and forth in the room with his hands on his hands. He knew Guo Song's martial arts skills, but he was afraid that the warriors sent out could not kill him, so he would turn around and kill himself.
Yuan Zai was really a little anxious, and he was afraid that if Guo Song left for two or three years, the bad breath in his heart would not come out, and he would have to hold it in and get sick.
After pondering for a long time, his heart suddenly crossed, and he gently pulled a rope, making a jingling sound. After a moment, two men in black appeared at the door, knelt down on one knee and said, "Please give instructions, Duke Yuan!"
The two men in black were top warriors raised by the Yuan family. They were highly skilled in martial arts and experienced in assassination. Yuan Zai took out a portrait from the table and handed it to them, "This man just left the city and went east. You must be thousands of miles away."
Cut off his head."
"Follow the order!" The two took the portrait.
Yuan Zai also warned: "This person's martial arts skills are not inferior to yours, so you must not underestimate him."
"I will definitely not disappoint Mr. Yuan!"
The two warriors in black disappeared quickly. Yuan Zai walked down the hall with his hands in his hands. There was always an uneasy feeling in his heart. It seemed that something was wrong, but he couldn't think of what went wrong.
.........
Just when Yuan Zai sent warriors to kill Guo Song, King Li Shi of Lu also received the news that Guo Song had left the capital.
This news was told to him by Lu Qi.
"Your Highness, Guo Song will no longer be restrained by his official title. He will definitely become a sharp sword in the hands of King Zhao. We must not let him go. The best way is to cut the grass and root out the root!"
Li Shi stood in front of a map of the Western Regions with his hands behind his hands. He did not express his position for a long time. Lu Qi couldn't help but said: "It is related to the battle for the crown prince. At this critical moment, your highness cannot be soft-hearted!"
Li Shi looked back at Lu Qi and asked coldly: "Did Yuan Zai tell you the news about Guo Song leaving Chang'an?"
Lu Qi was stunned for a moment, and he quickly said: "Although the news came from Yuan Xiangguo, our interests have nothing to do with Yuan Xiangguo. We want to prevent King Zhao from obtaining all resources, including talents like Guo Song."
"Do you also admit that Guo Song is a talent?"
Lu Qi was speechless for a moment, and Li Shi said again: "I approved Guo Song's relinquishment of the title today, and I still regret it now. This is a title bestowed by my father, so why is it my turn to take it away? I made a mistake."
"This is not a mistake by His Highness, this is..."
"Okay, don't say any more."
Li Shi interrupted Lu Qi unhappily. Judging from Guo Song's various performances, he was not the one who summoned the king at all. If he was the one who summoned the king, would he need to cut off his arm to survive? He was temporarily
Li Shi was deceived and was actually used by Yuan Zai. Thinking about it, Li Shi became angry. He didn't know how to explain this matter to his father.
There is news that the father left the palace at noon today, and Guo Song left immediately at night. The two are probably related. He is still a little too young and has become a tool for Yuan Zai to play power.
The more he thought about it, the more angry he became. Li Shi glared at Lu Qi fiercely, walked out of the room and said: "Prepare the carriage, I am going out!"
Lu Qi knew that His Royal Highness Jianguo had woken up, and he was really a little uneasy. He also realized that he would make mistakes if he spoke too much. He should not be concerned about Guo Song. In the end, Li Shi was reprimanded by the emperor, and he would definitely be blamed in the end.
On your own head.
Lu Qi also secretly hated Yuan Zai in his heart. The dirty things he had done were not coming to an end, but he asked himself to wipe his ass.
Lu Qi was upset for a moment, pointed at the maids in the hall and yelled: "Get out of here all of you!"
Several maids were so frightened that they stumbled away.
........
Li Shi came to Chongrenfang and found Zhao Kuan, the imperial concubine of the Imperial Academy. Zhao Kuan was also his master and taught him how to read for ten years. The two trusted each other very much.
Zhao Kuan was nearly seventy years old, with white beard and hair, and was thin and short. He asked Li Shi to sit down in the study, asked the maid to serve him a cup of tea, and asked with a smile: "Your Highness has not been here for a long time.
Bar!"
Li Shi bowed slightly and said, "I am too busy with government affairs during this period and I don't have time to visit Master."
"Then why do you have time today?"
Li Shi hesitated and said, "Students are a little confused when they encounter some troubles. I beg Master to give me some guidance."
Zhao Kuan chuckled, "Then let's talk about what troubles His Highness has encountered."
Li Shi told Zhao Kuan a series of things that happened recently. Zhao Kuan nodded slightly and said: "Although my surname is Zhao, I did not attend Zhao Guanshan's birthday banquet, but I have heard about what happened at the birthday banquet.
In fact, Yuan Zai was already facing a disaster, but he didn't know it. Of course, he was always arrogant and didn't realize the mistakes he had made."
