The ground fire outside the Xihun Pavilion adds charcoal every time a stick of incense. The gears as big as a bowl are connected, and whether it is adding charcoal or blowing smoke, they are all orderly. Widths of white steam are steamed out from behind, and sometimes it makes a low voice like a sigh.

The king and his ministers who were facing each other in the warm cabinet knelt and stood up one after another. Li Feng's hand tightly clamped the table of the Nine-turn Panlong Dragon. The blue veins stormed, and said word by word: "Say it again."

After Gu Yun finished speaking, he realized that he shouldn't have contradicted the emperor too much, so he immediately took a step back: "I have died."

Li Feng's face turned ashen and turned his fingers nervously.

Gu Yun whispered again: "It's just a matter of the ancient Silk Road, which will affect the whole body with just one blow. Please ask the emperor to make a long-term plan."

Li Feng asked sinisterly: "Does Andinghou feel that there is no other general in my hand except you?"

Speaking of this, the next thing is a quarrel, so Gu Yun simply pretended to die silently.

At this time, Zhu Xiaojiao suddenly walked into the West Nuan Pavilion quickly, pinching the old woman's throat and buzzing, reporting: "Emperor, Wang Guogong is here, waiting for the order outside the hall..."

When the emperor was furious, if a minister came to visit, the eunuch would usually advise them to wait outside the hall for a while. Zhu Xiaojiao was deliberately relieved. Gu Yun glanced at him, blinked slightly, and signaled that he would appreciate it.

Li Feng's eyes twitched a few times, and a few mean curves appeared on his face. He looked at Gu Yun from a high point and said coldly: "Horse Anding should go outside the hall to cool off, so as not to be blinded by the charcoal fire, and he didn't know what to say or what not to say!"

Gu Yun: "The emperor takes care of the dragon body."

After saying that, he bowed and left, and knelt in the snow outside the West Warehouse. Sure enough, it was cool.

Li Feng stared at his back sinisterly. The uncle Wang, who came in, was so arrogant that he dared not come out and waited. A little eunuch who was blinded wanted to come forward to clean up the ink that had just broken on Anding Hou. He was nailed to the spot by Zhu Xiaojiao's eyes, and he suddenly froze in silence, and ran against the wall after a moment.

Wang Gu looked at the emperor's face and whispered: "Emperor, that Marquis Anding is young and energetic, and he is used to being with the reckless men who eat raw meat and drink blood in the border ranks. Sometimes he can't help but speak a little ignorant of his advancement and retreat. The emperor cannot be angry for him."

Li Feng didn't say anything for a long time.

When Emperor Yuanhe finally accepted his eldest son Li Feng as the crown prince because he was diligent and skillful, with the style of a wise ruler, and was more than enough to be a king. When Li Feng just ascended the throne, he was indeed consistent with the expectations of the late emperor. However, Emperor Yuanhe did leave him a mess. Today's Daliang Dynasty requires an emperor of Zhongxing who is indispensable for courage and vision, and the talent of guarding the leadership is not enough.

Since Emperor Long'an ascended the throne, everything has gone wrong. When he returned to his dream at midnight, he often asked himself: "Can I bear this world?"

But if a person, especially a person with high status and powerful, always asks himself like this, he will generally be unable to tolerate others' similar doubts about him.

Wang Gu's face was almost frozen in laughter: "Emperor..."

Li Feng suddenly interrupted him: "Uncle Guo, I have always had a problem in my heart for a while - the Xuan Iron Tiger Talisman was given by Emperor Wu, why did Gu Yun take the initiative to return it to me?"

Wang Gu Yidai, plucked up the courage to look at Emperor Longan, feeling that this problem was full of food - is the emperor still looking forward to Gu Yun making a big fuss or simply rebel?

"This..." Wang Guojiu changed his mind quickly. He didn't know what to say, so he had to respond to the ever-changing king's heart with his unchanging flattery, and replied, "The emperor, the wise kings and ministers, should all devote themselves to serving others. However, a small black iron tiger talisman is the emperor who wants the lives of us. Who will complain?"

Li Feng laughed softly: "I'm afraid it may not be. I only realized today that it is the same whether Gu Yun handed over the Xuan Iron Tiger Talisman or not. How many of the generals from all directions are the Gu family? Nowadays, the Marquis is more effective than me in speaking. The tiger Talisman is just a virtual object, so what is the use of him?"

Li Feng's voice was gentle when he spoke, as if he was pressing into his throat and was about to appear, as if he was chatting in a friendly afternoon. Wang Fu couldn't help but tremble for a moment, feeling that the murderous intent in this sentence was about to overflow.

"Today, Uncle Xuan entered the palace. I wanted to talk to you about Loulan, forget it." Li Feng waved his hand as if he was extremely tired, "Go away, my dear, I'm tired too."

Wang Gu responded quickly, lowered his eyebrows and walked out of the West Warehouse Pavilion.

Somehow this year has happened. It is clear that the rainy season has passed, but the snow in the capital has been one after another, always hindering the unclean underground. Gu Yun knelt for less than half an hour, and a layer of ice slag was formed on his court suit. The black iron on his shoulder was covered by fine snow, making it even colder.

Wang Gu hurriedly passed by him, and glanced at the pale and handsome face of the powerful Anding Hou. He sighed in his heart, feeling a pity, but that's all. Wang Gu is a smart man, knowing who he is now given by others and what he should do.

The night in the imperial capital became deeper and more intense.

After serving Li Feng to bed, Zhu Xiaojiao plucked up the courage to walk out, picked up the umbrella and came out to look at Gu Yun tremblingly.

Gu Yun was about to melt into the snow, Zhu Xiaojiao beat the little eunuch in the gray shirt in the corridor with orchid fingers: "Dog slave, it's snowing so heavily, I don't know if I can bring an umbrella for the Marquis and his eyes are venting their anger?"

In the eyes of the eunuch, Zhu Xiaojiao, who was mocking thousands of people, was already a great official, and was immediately frightened to the point of being ashamed and trembling.

Gu Yun blinked the snow slag on his eyelashes and said disrespectfully: "Don't scare the child, the emperor asked me to come out and cool down, how can I cool down under an umbrella?"

Zhu Xiaojiao stepped forward to him in three steps and two steps, and reached out to pat the snowflakes on his body. Unexpectedly, he said "Ouch" first - the thin and tender fat slap almost made a layer of flesh stick to the black armor on Gu Yun's shoulder. The old lady/qian complained tremblingly: "My Marquis, why did you still quarrel with the emperor? It would be strange if you kneel here for a night, your legs and feet are not sick. Isn't it all your own hardship? What are you trying to do?"

Gu Yun smiled: "It's okay, we all practice martial arts and all are thick-skinned. I was a little hot-tempered just now, and I was talking too much for a while. I wish my father-in-law thought about it if I have time."

Zhu Xiaojiao thought about it and lowered his voice, "Or I will send someone to invite King Yanbei to let him enter the palace early tomorrow morning and say a few nice things to the emperor?"

Gu Yun shook his head again: "Don't involve him, it's okay."

Zhu Xiaojiao thought about it and had no choice but to do anything. He was afraid that Emperor Long'an would wake up and give instructions, so he did not dare to leave the emperor for too long, so he had to put the umbrella down for Gu Yun.

"My father-in-law," Gu Yun suddenly called him and whispered, "Thank you, but you should take the umbrella."

Zhu Xiaojiao was stunned.

Gu Yun said, "I'll kneel down and wait until the emperor calms down. You are the one around the emperor... Don't let him be too worried."

He said vaguely, but Zhu Xiaojiao understood it. The old lady sighed: "If the Marquis remembered to be so cautious when he quarreled with the emperor, how could he drink this sip of the northwest wind?"

Zhu Xiaojiao also left. Gu Yun exhaled a breath of white breath and was bored. He thought carefully about what Chang Geng had said to him in Huguo Temple - the East China Sea Jiao Misfortune and the Southwest Mutiny were probably not accidental.

Slowly, Gu Yun figured out a faint route.

The King of Wei deployed troops in the East China Sea and planned to use naval battles as a breakthrough.

Gu Yun took down the East China Sea rebels at that time and almost never abolished a soldier. Compared with the subsequent waves, this incident was simply "slight head and heavy feet".

The whole court caused a lot of controversy, and the Jiangnan naval army was purged from top to bottom. The emperor once devoted the power of Lingshuyuan to build a sea dragon, which also made the military expenditure of the troops stationed in all directions even more tense.

The greater impact is that the disaster in the East China Sea directly gave birth to the "palm order" that restricts the civilian long-armed division and the drum order to gather national military power - the latter pointed to Gu Yun himself. Looking back now, Emperor Long'an did not attack him for no reason. It was probably because his actions in Jiangnan at that time could not hide the emperor's suspicion.

The introduction of the drumming order immediately intensified the conflict between the garrisons in various places and the court, and it was the source of the Fu Zhicheng case.

Gu Yun was in the southwest and was in the game, so he felt the hand that was stirring up water more clearly. Someone deliberately provoked the conflict between the bandits and Fu Zhicheng, and then used the idiot Kuai Lantu's hand to intensify it, pinched time and broke out in front of Gu Yun, and then treated the bandits in the southern border and Fu Zhicheng as a gift. Through the hands of Xuantie Camp, he packed it and gave it to the emperor far away in the capital.

Emperor Long'an would be horrified to find that he had restricted the circulation of purple gold in the territory, but there were still those from abroad.

Gu Yun suddenly remembered - why did he and Shen Yi have been in Loulan for so long, but they could not find the legendary "Loulan Treasure". The emperor sent a secret spy who was unfamiliar with the place. However, in just a few days, he dared to write a letter saying that he could touch the situation "eight/nine are inseparable"?

Is it because the secret spy is too powerful, or is it that someone deliberately guides it?

The snow was getting heavier and heavier. Gu Yun shivered hard. Behind him, a cold plum branch was broken by the heavy snow. A crisp sound fell to the ground and fell to death.

Chang Geng was awakened by the movement of the broken branches of snow.

Gu Yun had not returned all night. He and Yi waited for a long time, leaned against the bedside for a moment and were confused. It was full of bizarre nightmares. At this time, the sky was dim and the night was still in the middle, but the window lattice was already shining with snow. Chang Geng suddenly stood up and opened the door, and happened to see Wang Bo jogging all the way.

"Wang Bo, slow down," Chang Geng called him, "What's the matter?"

The old butler in Shuofeng ran out of sweat: "Your Highness, news came from the palace that the Marquis had somehow contradicted the emperor yesterday, and the emperor was furious..."

Chang Geng's pupils suddenly shrank.

After a while, a thousand-mile horse left the backyard of the Hou Mansion at night, and headed towards the direction of Huguo Temple in the wind and snow.

There was no grand ceremony the next day, so Emperor Long'an didn't have to get up too early, but his liver fire was too strong and he didn't sleep well for a night, so he felt dizzy and swelling when he woke up.

Seeing this, Zhu Xiaojiao came over cleverly, pressed the temple for Emperor Long'an, and said while pressing: "Your Majesty, the incense of the indian scent that Master Le Chi last time has a miraculous effect of clearing the mind and calming the mind. Didn't you say it last time? Or should I use it for you a little more?"

Li Feng said "hmm", thought for a while, and asked again: "Is the master still in the palace?"

Throughout the first month of the year, Master Le Chi, abbot of Huguo Temple, lived in the palace. On the one hand, he prayed for blessings to Daliang, and on the other hand, he preached to Emperor Long'an, who firmly believed in gods and Buddhas.

Zhu Xiaojiao hurriedly said, "Here, I heard that the master had already gotten up to do morning classes, regardless of wind and rain. The old slave looked at the emperor's eyelids and felt that he was angry, or he would preach the master and recite the scriptures and calm down?"

Li Feng laughed and scolded: "Bastard, Master Le Chi is a master monk of the age. Do you think he sang a small song?"

Zhu Xiaojiao quickly smiled and slapped himself in the mouth: "Looking at my mouth, I have a short-sighted knowledge and make a joke again - but although I don't understand, every time I hear Master Chi's sound of Muyu, I feel that I have no worries in my heart."

When he mentioned this, Li Feng was indeed moved. After thinking about it, he replied: "Then please bother the master."

Zhu Xiaojiao responded and quickly ordered, serving the emperor to wash and change clothes silently. Li Feng suddenly asked, "Where is Gu Yun?"

Zhu Xiaojiao had always wanted to mention it but did not dare to mention it. When he heard him ask, he hurriedly said, "Go back to the emperor, the marquis is still kneeling outside the warm room."

Li Feng seemed to snort softly, his expression faintly. Zhu Xiaojiao didn't dare to mention it anymore, but he secretly hoped that the old monk, a rescuer who seemed unreliable, would be useful.

Not long after, Master Le Chi came to the West Warehouse. He passed by with his eyes, nose, nose and mouth, as if he had not seen the snowman outside the hall at all.

However, I don’t know what Amitabha Buddha’s soul soup had been given to Emperor Long’an. After only a moment of entering, Zhu Xiaojiao ran out with the wind. He first proclaimed the imperial edict: “The emperor has an order, and the Hou Anding has lost his etiquette before, and he has no eyes on the emperor. He temporarily detained the general seal and ordered him to return to his house to reflect on his door and be fined for three months.”

Gu Yun was stunned.

Zhu Xiaojiao winked at him.

Gu Yun: "...I received the order to thank you."

Zhu Xiaojiao slapped his thighs and greeted the eunuch on the side with his throat: "Look at these gangs of ignorant monkeys! They are still standing there, help the marquis up!"

Before he could finish his work, Gu Yun had already staggered himself and stood up, like needles on his limbs. Through the court suit and steel armor, the snow water had soaked his whole body. An indescribable coldness penetrated into the bone cracks. Gu Yun bowed his hand to Zhu's little feet and walked out of the palace with great worries. At the same time, he thought to himself: "Has this old bald donkey taken over the body? Why did he remember to save me?"

... Until he saw Chang Geng, who was waiting for him outside the palace gate.

Gu Yun: "It turned out to be Huguo Temple you moved to. I said why is that old bald donkey so kind?"

Chang Geng started to be moved regardless of the occasion when he heard that Gu Yun was kneeling in the heavy snow. However, he could not be confused, so he had to recite the Qingxin Jue repeatedly and pace back and forth like a trapped beast at the entrance of the palace. Although he was ready, Gu Yun was even more embarrassed than he thought. Chang Geng's head roared, and he felt that the surging blood was about to hit his throat.

Without saying a word, he wrapped Gu Yun with a thick fox fur and reached out to touch his faintly blue face. Gu Yun was frozen for a night, and even though his skin was thick, his reaction speed was much slower at this time, and he touched him.

But this action was too ambiguous, and Gu Yun was hiding, either, or not, so he had to joke: "Have you found out how much bone weight I have?"

I don’t know if this person is in love with mountains and rivers or is really heartless. He is like this and is still having fun!

Chang Geng dragged Gu Yun into the carriage without saying a word, his eyes were red with heartache.

As soon as he got on the carriage, warmth came to his face. Gu Yun rubbed his hands and turned to ask Chang Geng, "Do you have any wine? Give me a bowl."

Chang Geng didn't say anything.

Gu Yun turned his head and saw that his eyes were red and he seemed to be bleeding. He couldn't help but smile and said, "My God, I have never seen you cry since I was a child. Today I have seen you. Let Uncle Wang take the basin and then continue. It just so happened that the emperor has fined me three months' salary. We can rely on your little golden beans to make a living."
