Guo Song was stunned. Before he could explain, Liang Wu immediately said, "Yes, our Guo Changshi made this request, Lao Xue, didn't we?"
He bumped the military doctor Xue Changshou with his elbow. Xue Changshou said vaguely: "It seems that there is such a thing!"
Liang Wu turned back and winked at the soldiers. The soldiers laughed together and said, "Yes, this does happen."
The little fish girl's face was flushed, but her eyes were filled with joy.
"Liang Wu!"
Guo Song glared at Liang Wu fiercely, "What are you talking about, you bastard?"
Liang Wu quickly pulled Guo Song aside and whispered: "If you don't admit it now, what will the little lady do? The fleet has already left, where do you want her to go? Don't refuse her outright, wait until we get to Chang'an, and then talk to you
The young lady will not be too uncomfortable if she is arranged to be arranged at that time. Believe it or not, if you reject her now, she will definitely run away in tears. She will be penniless and homeless.
What should I do if I meet a bad person?"
I have never seen Liang Wu speak so eloquently, but what Liang Wu said makes sense. After returning to the capital, he will settle the score with his aunt. When did he let Xiaoyu Niang follow him?
Although what Liang Wu said made sense, his motive was not necessarily so. Guo Song glared at Liang Wu again and said, "I'll deal with you later!"
Liang Wu was overjoyed when he knew that Guo Song recognized his suggestion. He quickly stepped forward and smiled at Xiaoyu Niang and said: "Master Guo has already admitted it, just follow us!"
Xiaoyu Niang was so happy that she quickly urged her horse to follow Guo Song, leaving Liang Wu aside. Everyone burst into laughter. Liang Wu scratched his head and laughed twice and said: "A gentleman has the beauty of a man!"
"Let's go! Don't waste time."
Guo Song shouted, and everyone continued to move forward on horseback.
At this time, Xiaoyu Niang slowed down, followed Liang Wu, and whispered: "Thank you just now, Brother Liang!"
"It's okay! Although Guo Changshi is a bit thin-skinned, he will not deny it."
Liang Wu smiled again and asked, "What's your name?"
"I used to be called Chuntao, but now I have returned to my real name, Xiaoyu Niang."
"Little Fish Girl still sounds good, so I'll call her this name from now on."
Xiaoyu Niang nodded and asked, "What does Mr. Guo do?"
"You don't know what he does, how do you know him?" Liang Wu asked curiously.
"We captured Lu Sigong together on the boat. Guo Song was very strong on the boat. I don't know how many people he killed?"
"He is a murderer. He killed more people in Anxi, but we are not much better. Let me tell you, this Mr. Guo's official name is Guo Song, and he is the chief historian of the Anxi Protectorate. We have just returned from Anxi
It won’t be long, and I probably won’t go there again.”
Liang Wu lowered his head and whispered: "Let me tell you another exclusive secret. Mr. Guo used to be a Taoist priest. He returned to secular life two years ago. I helped him return to secular life. When I first met him in Lingzhou, he wore
A Taoist robe."
Xiaoyu Niang covered her mouth and snickered, Mr. Guo was actually a Taoist priest before.
After entering Puyang City, Guo Song said to Xue Changshou: "Old Xue, find an inn. Let's stay first, then buy something to eat, have a good rest, and set off early tomorrow morning."
Guo Song didn't sleep all night last night. He was really sleepy. He knew that Xiaoyu Niang also stayed up all night last night, so he said to her: "You too, have a good sleep. Get up at five tomorrow and pack up and go."
Xiaoyu Niang blushed and whispered: "Please call me tomorrow morning, sir. I'm afraid of oversleeping."
"Okay! I'll knock on the door and call you tomorrow morning."
........
Early the next morning, everyone packed up and prepared to set off. Guo Song was still a little uncomfortable. Although Xiaoyu Niang asked him to call her, she actually got up earlier than him, brought water to Guo Song to wash up, and packed his luggage for him. Originally
She was also going to comb Guo Song's hair, but Guo Song declined because she didn't have enough time.
Just kidding, she really thought she was her maid. Guo Song wanted to explain it to her several times, but seeing her happy smile, he finally couldn't bear it and could only wait until he returned to Chang'an!
Outside the inn, dozens of people got on the horse one after another. Guo Song saw that Xiaoyu Niang also got on the rouge horse. Although she was petite, her movements were extremely flexible, which made Guo Song suspect that her martial arts skills were not low, and not many girls were willing to do so.
He admits that he is highly skilled in martial arts.
"Set off!"
Guo Song gave the order and took the lead in urging his horse to run towards the city gate. Everyone followed him. It was not yet dawn and there were not many people on the street. Everyone ran all the way, rushed out of the city gate and rushed westward along the official road.
And go.
.........
In Chang'an, Yuan Zai was very agitated these days, especially when Li Shi, the prisoner, went to the palace to plead guilty, and rushed to Qingxu Palace the next day to appease Guo and Song's subordinates stationed there. Yuan Zai realized that the emperor had taken action.
However, the emperor's actions were limited to His Royal Highness Jianguo, and he remained silent towards him and the imperial court. This kind of inciting and silent attitude made Yuan Zai very uncomfortable and restless.
Yuan Zai had realized that he had made a big mistake in the matter of Guo and Song. He was wrong from the beginning. He did not reject the emperor's appointment of Guo and Song as the governor of the Anxi Protectorate in accordance with the rules, but suppressed the appointment without authorization.
, he kept saying to the outside world that he was exercising the power of the prime minister, but did the emperor admit it?
The emperor kept silent on this matter. It seemed that it was not that he had acquiesced, but that he was very dissatisfied with himself.
In particular, Guo Song recently voluntarily resigned from his position as General Dingyuan and his title as Marquis of Lingwu County. He was obviously putting pressure on the emperor. Even Yuan Zai had to admit that this move was very beautiful, seizing the initiative and transforming himself.
I have to be passive, what should I do?
At this time, Yuan Zai suddenly realized that the ruler of the Tang Dynasty was the emperor, not the prime minister.
After pleading guilty, Supervisor Li Shi immediately changed his stance and vetoed the order of the Ministry of War to disband Guo Song's soldiers, and also vetoed the transfer of Li Ji and Liang Wu by the Military Selection Department of the Ministry of War. However, Li Shi still maintained his stance on the matter of Guo Song.
There was silence, but this silence just showed that the matter of Guo and Song was decided by the emperor.
After pacing the official room for a long time, Yuan Zai finally decided that he had to talk to the emperor about Guo Song's affairs. If he couldn't do it, he could admit his mistake and restore Guo Song's official position and title. It would not be good for him to refuse to give in at this time.
It’s time to bow your head, you have to bow your head, and look for opportunities to deal with Guo Song in the future.
Thinking of this, Yuan Zai ordered: "Prepare a car for me, I want to enter the palace to meet the saint!"
Yuan Zai got on the palace carriage and went to the inner palace to meet the saint.
In the carriage, Yuan Zai was still thinking about Lu Sigong. Lu Sigong was willing to spend millions to buy a man who could retire safely. This price really shocked Yuan Zai. It seemed that the rumors were true. Lu Sigong really took care of his brother.
Shu Huang's millions of property was obtained.
However, it was not easy for Lu Sigong to retire safely. The news that he had embezzled large sums of ill-gotten wealth had already spread in the capital, and the emperor must have heard about it. How to deal with this matter still needs to be carefully considered.
The carriage entered the Chaoyang Gate, and in front of it was the Qilin Hall, where the emperor met with ministers in the inner palace.
Yuan Zai got off the carriage and said to the eunuch on duty who came out: "Please inform the emperor that Yuan Zai wants to see you!"
"The Prime Minister of the Yuan Dynasty will wait a moment. I will inform the Holy One that the Holy One is not in the Qilin Hall."
"I know, I'll wait here!"
The eunuch flew away, and Yuan Zai paced back and forth in front of the steps with his hands on his hands. He was still thinking about how to explain Guo Song's incident to the emperor. It would be better to use Yu Chaoen's son Yu Lingxuan to be assassinated. It was that incident that led to
If his son was hit by a frightening horse and died, it could be regarded as a personal grudge between himself and Guo Song!
We can also mention the incident of Wang Zhongsi, which was the source of Guo Song's hatred for him.
About a quarter of an hour later, the eunuch came back, cupped his fists and said apologetically to Yuan Zai: "Your Majesty is unwell and cannot meet with the ministers. I hope Prime Minister Yuan will understand!"
The emperor actually refused to see him. Yuan Zai felt a basin of ice water pouring down from head to toe, making him completely cold.
