Chapter seven hundred and thirty seventh must take sincerity
An hour later, Guo Song sat up and looked out the window at the dark outline of the mountain forest in the distance. Ying Caihe curled up next to him like a cat, her cheeks were red, her eyes were closed, and she was breathing softly. This was the first time in her thirty years.
Once she tasted this unforgettable taste, if Guo Song conquered her mentally before, then her body was also conquered now.
Guo Song gently touched her face and said softly: "I'll give you the antidote after taking that pill."
Ying Caihe nodded slightly, that pill was indeed unnecessary.
Guo Song's face showed a gentle smile. He didn't expect that this was the first time for this woman.
"You go back to Chengdu to finish the work for me, and then you go to Chang'an Yuling Palace to be the temple master. Your master's coffin will be buried there. I will make you a heavenly master. You will accompany the master there. When I need you,
Will come to you."
"yes!"
After a pause, Ying Caihe asked in a low voice: "What does the master want me to do in Chengdu?"
Guo Song bent down and whispered a few words in her ear. After speaking, Guo Song slowly said: "This matter is of great importance, and only you and I know about it."
Ying Caihe put his arms around Guo Song's neck and murmured: "Master, please favor me again! Let me be loyal to you for the rest of my life."
It was not until dawn that Ying Caihe left quietly. She went to Hanzhong first, where she would wait for Song Tianlai to join her.
...........
In the lobby, Guo Song listened to reports from Song Tian and Wang Yue.
"Your Highness, there are a total of 479 warriors in the Cangjian Pavilion. Except for the leader Yingcai and the one who escaped, the other 478 were all shot by us, and not one of them escaped."
Wang Yue also bowed and said: "We have searched all the surrounding places and found no trace of Ying Caihe. We are humble and incompetent!"
"No need to search anymore, withdraw the troops! In addition, everyone's bodies will be disposed of immediately, and the news will be strictly blocked."
"I humbly obey orders!"
"You go and deal with it now, Commander Song will stay here."
Wang Yue bowed and hurried away.
Guo Song then said to Song Tian: "You don't have to worry about Ying Caihe, she is actually mine."
Song Tian then breathed a sigh of relief, "Then I'll be relieved for my humble job!"
"I also want to give you a task. You select fifty brothers with strong martial arts skills, use the captured tokens to pretend to be Cangjian Pavilion warriors, and go to Hanzhong to join Ying Caihe. You go to Chengdu to assist her in carrying out an important mission, and then
You will return to Chang'an with Zhang Yun."
"I understand, I understand. I wonder when I will leave?"
"You go back and prepare for departure early tomorrow morning."
After saying that, Guo Song handed him a piece of paper, "There is the Hanzhong contact address and method on it. This is the contact method of Zangjian Pavilion. You must strictly follow the above method."
"Follow the order!"
.........
After arranging matters for the garden and residence, Guo Song returned to Xingqing Palace.
Guo Song came to Baolian Palace and saw Du Lingqiu who was recovering from his injuries here. Duk Lingqiu's injury was not serious. After careful treatment, he had improved a lot. The blood on his face was not as pale as yesterday, but slightly rosy.
"Father-in-law is recovering well!" Guo Song said with a smile.
"Hey! This injury is nothing to me. I was also born in the military. I once served as the military governor of Longyou. I also suffered arrow injuries when fighting Tuyuhun..." At this point, he accidentally pulled the wound.
, the pain made him grin.
Guo Song smiled and said, "Father-in-law, rest in peace and recover from his injuries. We can talk about anything else after he recovers from his injuries."
Du Lingqiu shook his head, "I just figured it out last night. The good husband-in-law doesn't want to talk about the emperor's affairs because he is afraid that I will embarrass him!"
"That's not entirely true. In fact, I have thought about this matter repeatedly. Whether it is my father-in-law or other envoys coming, I have to face it."
Du Lingqiu pondered for a moment and said, "A worthy son-in-law might as well listen to my thoughts first."
"Father-in-law, please speak!"
"I hope you refuse Li Shi's request. The Tang Dynasty is exhausted, and you don't have to be burdened by those so-called loyal and good names. Li Shi favored the eunuchs and levied excessive taxes on the people, so that the people were resentful. The income tax was not used to support the army.
Instead of the army, it was included in his inner treasury for his squandering and enjoyment. Officials have no salary, soldiers have no money, and the morale of the army is very low. Once he returns to Guanzhong, it will only be misfortune for the people of Guanzhong and Chang'an."
Guo Song smiled and said: "It actually doesn't matter to me if he comes back. At worst, I will give up Guanzhong to him and I will go back to Taiyuan. If he wants to restore Huangzhuang, then just wait for the people in Guanzhong to rebel! And once he returns to Guanzhong,
Zhu Si will definitely take the opportunity to invade Bashu, and in the end he will only be left in Guanzhong. I am afraid it is not me who will regret it, but him."
Du Lingqiu understood what Guo Song meant, and he pondered for a moment: "What do you mean by a virtuous son-in-law, do you want him to come back?"
Guo Song pondered for a moment and said: "How come you can sit down and negotiate when you come back, but the negotiation must be sincere, and he must show sincerity first."
Du Lingqiu was refreshed. This method is good. If you want to negotiate, you must first make concessions. If you don't even have sincerity in negotiating, then don't blame yourself for your incompetence.
"Let me tell you, my virtuous son-in-law, what kind of sincerity does Li Shi need to show?"
"I have two demands. First, my appointment in Guanzhong must not be changed; second, all eunuchs must be killed."
Du Lingqiu shook his head, "I'm afraid he can't fulfill these two requirements."
Guo Song said flatly: "Whether he can do it or not is his business, but this is the prerequisite for my negotiation. If there is no sincerity, then there is no need to negotiate."
Du Lingqiu sighed and said, "In that case, let's try it!"
An hour later, Du Lingqiu's two personal guards took Guo Song's handwritten letter and rode towards Chengdu.
.........
Three days later, Guo Song officially signed the land distribution plan. He immediately led 20,000 cavalry back to Taiyuan. The military was handed over to Yao Jin, and the government affairs were handed over to Cao Wannian and Du You. At this time, there were only twenty days before the New Year, and he had to go back.
Taiyuan is also a world covered with snow. The New Year is coming, and every corner of Taiyuan City is full of festive atmosphere.
The palace of the Prince of Jin was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, and it was full of joy. Princess Xue Tao was extremely busy these days. She had received a letter from her husband, who was already on his way back to Taiyuan. The whole family was very happy.
But what her husband said at the end of the letter made her a little embarrassed, 'I am only living in Taiyuan temporarily, and I will eventually return to Chang'an.'
They will move back to Chang'an next year, which makes Xue Tao feel happy and sad at the same time. She is happy that she can finally return to Chang'an where she grew up. No matter where she goes, Chang'an is the one she misses the most in her heart.
But they were worried about the difficulty of moving. It would take half a year just to pack up their things. They had finally adapted to Taiyuan and were about to leave again.
"Sister, what's wrong?"
Dugu Youlan saw that Xue Tao was worried and couldn't help but ask: "Is it because your husband won't be back for the New Year?"
Xue Tao shook his head and smiled bitterly: "He is already on his way back to Taiyuan. I am worried because we may have to move to Chang'an next year."
"We're moving again!"
Dugu Youlan couldn't help shouting, "I'll have to worry about it for a year."
"Who says it's not the case? It took half a year just to pack things up, and it took a lot of time to settle down. I just got used to it."
"How about...please give me some advice, husband?"
Xue Tao shook his head and said, "Don't try to persuade us to move here. It's not just us who want to move, everyone has to move. It should be the entire government offices of Prince Jin's Mansion."
Dugu Youlan said thoughtfully: "Could it be that we want to live in Daming Palace?"
"It's not Daming Palace, it's Xingqing Palace. My husband has made it clear. Xingqing Palace has been renamed Prince Jin's Palace."
"Mom, is Xingqing Palace as big as Jinyang Palace?" Guo Weiwei, who was sitting painting beside her, tilted her head and asked.
Xue Tao said angrily: "You damn girl, what are you doing, eavesdropping on our conversation?"
Guo Weiwei pouted and whispered: "You are talking so loudly, do you still need to eavesdrop?"
Dugu Youlan quickly smiled and said: "Weiwei, Xingqing Palace occupies one square of Chang'an, which is equivalent to three Jinyang Palaces."
"So big!"
Guo Weiwei exclaimed, "Wouldn't that make my mother's head even bigger?"
"Stop talking nonsense and hurry up and paint!"
"I don't want to paint anymore!"
Guo Weiwei hugged her mother's neck and said coquettishly: "When will daddy come back?"
Xue Tao patted his daughter's face and said with a smile: "Are you concerned about what gift your father will bring you?"
Guo Weiwei shook her mother's shoulders and said, "No! I miss my father."
"Don't shake! Don't shake! Your bones will fall apart."
Xue Tao thought for a while and then said: "I guess your father will soon reach Pujin Pass. After passing Pujin Pass, he will go all the way north. In about five days, he will arrive in Taiyuan."
"Five more days!" Guo Weiwei shouted.
"Damn girl, where's the scenic view of Yunzhou that you promised dad? It seems you haven't finished it yet!"
Guo Weiwei screamed, ran over to look for her drafts, and muttered: "It's almost over, there's still half of it left unpainted!"
Dugu Youlan saw it interestingly, so she stood up and said with a smile: "I'm going to see Min Qiu. When the child cries, she will be in a hurry again."
"I'll go with you. It's almost time to find a wet nurse to help the child."
Xue Tao gave Guo Weiwei a few more words, and then went downstairs with Dugu Youlan.
