In the early summer of the eighth year of Long'an, the countries in the Western Regions could not resist it. They gathered the remaining troops, founded the country's gates, and jointly surrendered to the sect leader's country for apologizing.

At the entrance of the ancient Silk Road, the Western Regions countries sat with representatives of Daliang for the second time and were forced to negotiate peace.

Gu Yun was too lazy to come forward with his opponent's defeated general, so he only sent Chen Yi full power to act.

Chen Yi came with Daliang's harsh demands - first, he had to knock a large sum of gold and silver, and secondly, he had to build Daliang troops stationed in the Western Regions to monitor the vassal states. From then on, except for Loulan, he was an ally, the other vassal states were not allowed to prepare a piece of lighter steel armor, including light fur, and all were destroyed. Finally, Daliang required that the vassal states need to pay more than 70% of the purple flowing gold that was opened every year to Daliang.

Chen Yi felt a toothache after reading this clause once he read it. It was like a slash of bones. Representatives from all over the country immediately cried and called for their parents.

The first negotiation broke down. The next day, Gu Yun brought three hundred armors to attack the surrendered Western Regions camp at night, exploding a string of red earth in the sky and earth. He artificially completed the main content of the second article of the contract for them, and openly declared that it would be okay if the other two articles were not agreed, and he immediately led people to massacre the city.

The massacre of the city is a disaster. Generally, only the Northern Barbarians do this. There is very few such a trend in the Daliang army. However, the people in the Western Regions are worried that Gu Yun would hate the revenge of the bombing and suspected that he could do anything. At the beginning, he was still strong. When Gu Yun asked someone to open the city gate, the coalition representatives at the negotiating table finally became cowardly.

After several bargaining, the "Loulan New Contract" was signed three days later. Under the intimidation of Gu Yun's heavy troops, the countries first cleared out the domestic war preparations as quickly as possible, and then complained and pieced together the purple gold that had not been used for a year after being dug out.

At the end of May, Gu Yun and Shen Yi secretly escorted Zi Liujin back to Beijing from the Western Regions.

A heavy rain washed away the streets and alleys of the capital, and fine locust flowers fell all over the long street.

The official reform incident was very popular, and the chaos that everyone imagined would lead to miraculously did not appear.

First of all, the aristocratic families are not stupid. Even if they are dissatisfied with the fact that Yan Wang digs out the silver from their pockets in different ways, they also understand that compared to themselves, those poor Hanlins who came from the imperial examination and could not find a few taels of silver all over their bodies hated this policy the most, and there is no need for them to be the first to be the first for others. So at the beginning, the group of people hid in order to watch jokes.

Unexpectedly, this matter was really weird. Apart from a few stubborn old sorcerers who stood up and said a few nonsense words like "stylistic" or "stylistic", the court did not even have a splash.

Chang Geng first wrote a letter to take down the emperor, presented his longer-term idea of ​​the beacon tickets to Li Feng, and wrote a clear and concealed and exaggerated them in a skillful way. Finally, he drew a big cake for the emperor. In time, the beacon tickets were implemented from top to bottom, which could bring all the gold and silver of the world back to the national treasury, and the private transactions were all in full screen bills. The amount of bills was determined by the court at its discretion. There would be no situation where the private gold and silver were filled with dust and the national treasury was not available when the country was in crisis.

Li Feng previously felt that Yan Wang had some of his thoughts that were too out of style and unconventional. Only then did he realize that this person was not out of style, but he simply wanted to step on the word "conventional" under his feet.

In the past, the First Emperor collected the world's soldiers to forge gold, and today he produced Prince Yan, who saved the world's wealth.

But this idea was too tempting. After Li Feng understood a little about what the concept of "using a few pieces of paper instead of gold and silver trading", he felt vaguely uneasy in his heart, and on the other hand, he was really unable to resist the temptation. After deducting the note for three days, he finally ate the cake without hesitation and ordered Chang Geng to start the process, but repeatedly warned that the methods should not be excessive, especially for those rising stars from poor families in the court, he should "take it slowly."

What Emperor Li Feng didn't know was that as early as when King Yan wrote a letter to request the change of the administration, the richest man in Jiangnan and 13 tycoons from all over the country came to Beijing and invited a guest in the small restaurant where Linyuan Wooden Card chose the owner.

The small restaurant was originally dilapidated and unknown. A few years ago, it was covered by the light of Qiquanlou, which was as hidden as fireflies under the moon. It was not easy to find it. This time, it was very lucky to have been preserved from the devastated capital. It took a break at the beginning of the year and officially opened the door to welcome guests. It also added two more floors to the original second-story building. The broken bricks and tiles were cleanly rectified. It was renamed "Wangnanlou". When people saw it, they felt a sense of sadness of half of the wall falling out of thin air, which was very suitable for the situation. Few people knew that this restaurant, which was originally half-dead, was Du Wanquan's property.

The two sides were very unhappy when they first negotiated. Scholars were self-righteous and noble, and they were in the officialdom for many years. They were really unwilling to deal with these people who were full of money. Most of them came to socialize perfunctorily.

Who knew after getting in touch, I realized that Du Wanquan was not simple.

Du Wanquan once sailed to the West personally and saw the real world. He talked about others. His ravines in his heart were different from ordinary merchants. A tongue that was not bad could make the dead live. In addition, Jiang Chong mediated it quietly, and soon many people were thinking about it.

Just as the laws of the reform of the administration were silently soaking everything, Du Wanquan and others opened the largest private room in Wangnan Building, and for the second banquet was held, led by Jiang Chong, a total of eight important officials in the court.

They all started from scratch in the court without any support, became officials in the imperial examinations and started from scratch.

This time, the secret talk lasted for more than four hours. When the moon was on the branches, the first Jiang Chong raised his glass to the end.

Jiang Chong stood up solemnly and looked around. Many people drank too much while drinking.

"Today, we are full of wine and we are tired. I am not afraid of the scenery. I will bring a glass and everyone drinks the remaining wine and disperse it." Jiang Chong said, "As long as we have to fight this battle, it is imperative to implement the beacon ticket. All the people are dedicated to the country..."

When Jiang Chong said this, he stopped at the village and the shop without touching the shop without touching it. He smiled and slapped the wine in his glass silently.

If you are dedicated to the country, please consider your own way out.

He has been unable to speak out about the current situation and the government for many years. He is eager to have his own spokesperson and a group of civil officials with no power and no power and honest style meet and form an official alliance.

After sending away a room of civil servants and businessmen one by one, Du Wanquan returned to Wangnan Building alone and came to the room next to the private room just now. There was not a single servant in the room and no lights were lit. There was only a dim gas lamp hanging above his head. There were two taels of yellow wine, a bowl of porridge and a plate of side dishes. After drinking half a bowl of porridge, three left, the side dishes were just a few sips, and the person next to the table had already put down his chopsticks.

Du Wanquan no longer looked versatile and respectfully stepped forward and said, "Prince Yan."

Chang Geng nodded politely: "Du Du."

Du Wanquan glanced at the clear congee on the table and said hurriedly: "The prince is always saving, which really makes me admire you. But this Wangnan Tower is our own industry. Why don't you make some easy-to-mouth? As summer is coming, I ask them to prepare some cleansing health..."

"Stop busy, I'll just eat this," Chang Geng waved his hand and said, "Today's affairs are all due to Duke Du, and you will be working on you."

Du Wanquan hurriedly said not daring. Seeing him getting up and leaving, he carefully lifted the umbrella on one side: "The car is ready in the backyard, please come here."

If the person who was most unwilling to accept the Linyuan Wooden Plate at the beginning was undoubtedly Du Wanquan. He made a fortune in his early years and relied heavily on the civil power of Linyuan Pavilion. However, after earning this family business, Du Wanquan would not admit that there was much help from Linyuan Pavilion. At this time, he would devote all his life to it for a person he had never met before. He refused.

But after more than half a year of contact with King Yan, Du Wanquan is the one who is most willing to be King Yan.

Du Caishen has traveled around the world for many years, and his experience is higher than that of ordinary people. He vaguely feels that Chang Geng is indeed in danger of saving the country, but more of it is laying the foundation. Du Wanquan has an indescribable sense of excitement - the swaying road of Daliang prospers from Emperor Wu, Emperor Yuanhe prospers from the extreme and decline, Emperor Long'an is at the end of the road - now it is indeed an era of nearly entering a new turning point.

But he boarded the big ship with just a wooden sign.

As soon as Chang Geng walked to the door, he suddenly touched his waist accidentally and paused.

Du Wanquan glanced at the sharp eyes and asked hurriedly: "What are the prince looking for?"

"Nothing," Chang Geng paused, as if he was absent-minded, "The fragrance has been used up."

These days he was fully prepared, and the calming spirit dissipated too quickly. He had not had enough time to be able to match. Chang Geng sighed and smiled at Du Wanquan, "It's not a problem, Du Gong stays there, there is no need to send it - tell Gong Fenghan that what he has never forgotten will be realized."

He has a bad alcohol tolerance - the prince is there. No matter what occasion, there will never be those 25 people who dare to come to him. Although Chang Geng has not been drunk completely because of his self-control, he is inferred based on his ability to start a headache after two or three cups, he may not be able to drink.

Chang Geng usually doesn't drink wine, but it was too tired after listening to the corner of the wall for more than four hours that day, so it made people feel slightly stimulating when they got two taels of yellow wine. Unexpectedly, this little bit of drunkenness not only does not help sleep, but also makes it a little difficult for him to fall asleep when he goes back at night.

Chang Geng tossed and turned on the bed for a long time, and it was not until the fourth day that he was confused for a while. While he was half asleep and half awake, he seemed to hear someone coming in. He turned over and woke up, raised his hand and turned on the small steam light hanging on the head of the bed. As a result, it was because the rain in the capital was swelling, or if there was no one living in the room for several days, the steam light flashed and went out again.

The visitor sat on the couch on the side with a familiar face and smiled, "What are you doing in my bed?"

Chang Geng was shocked, his eyes were used to darkness, and he saw that Gu Yun had come back with a little light. He hurriedly asked, "Didn't it meant that he would arrive in the capital in two days, why is it so fast?"

Gu Yun stretched casually and leaned to the side: "I miss you, I ran back early by myself."

The last time I parted, it was the end of the year. In the blink of an eye, winter went and spring came. Now it has entered summer. I haven’t seen anyone for half a year. Although Gu Yun often brought "private goods" in the battle report and sent a letter a while later, how can he compare to the real person in front of him?

Chang Geng thought he was so impatient that he was about to rush over and hug him.

But Gu Yun leaned back and gently avoided his hand. His body fell to the window like a piece of paper. The rain outside had stopped, and the moonlight quietly winded into the room from the puddle. Gu Yun stood in the backlight, and Chang Geng saw the light fur armor that he had never taken off for thousands of years.

"Why did you touch me as soon as you meet?" Gu Yun said, "I'm here to see you."

Chang Geng was laughing and crying after hearing the first half of the sentence, thinking that he was the evil man complained first, and he didn't know who would like to touch him. After listening to the second half of the sentence, his smile suddenly became calm and he vaguely felt something was wrong: "Zi Xi, what's wrong with you?"

Gu Yun didn't say anything, just looked at him.

The two of them sat and stood there, and were speechless for a long time, as if they were saying goodbye.

Chang Geng's heart jumped up for no reason, shaking his chest so that he could hardly hold anything else and could not breathe. He couldn't bear it anymore and walked towards Gu Yun, from the edge of the bed to the small window, but four or five steps away, he seemed to be unable to walk.

He moved forward a little, and Gu Yun had to retreat a little.

Chang Geng turned around and grabbed the steam lamp at the head of the bed, frantically twisted the mechanism above. The steam lamp made a few loud noises, and suddenly it lit up. The room was very bright. Chang Geng turned to Gu Yun in panic, regardless of the dazzling lights. However, he saw the person standing by the window as white as paper, with a gray that was not like a living person. Two lines of blood flowed down the corners of his mouth and the corners of his eyes.

The gas lamp went out with a "bang".

Gu Yun sighed softly: "I can't see the light, why do you need to do it... Chang Geng, I'll leave now."

What does "not see the light" mean? Chang Geng almost went crazy on the spot, pounced on him desperately, stretched out his hand to grab it, but only grabbed a handful of cold and bone-black armor.

Chang Geng hissed: "Stop, where are you going! Gu Zixi!"

"Go to the place you should go." Gu Yun's voice showed some coldness, "You are now full of wings. You are taking Linyuan Pavilion and taking over the Li family's country. The world's storms are all in your hands. What kind of method? Didn't Li Feng die at your hands? Is it useless for me to stay for a long time, so I'm here to say goodbye."

Chang Geng said anxiously: "No, wait, I don't..."

He intuition wanted to refute that he hadn't, but he couldn't say it at the end of his mouth, and felt that what Gu Yun said seemed to be done by himself.

Gu Yun said coldly: "I was entrusted by the late emperor to take you back from Yan Hui Town and take care of you until you are an adult. I hope you are not a pillar of the world, at least a good person with a good personality and a bright and bright moon, how did you do it?"

On early summer nights, Chang Geng suddenly felt an unprecedented coldness.

"I took care of you as the order of the late emperor, but I didn't expect that the one who raised it was a wolf from Zhongshan." Gu Yun sighed slightly, "Daliang has been in the founding of Taizu and Zu, for two hundred years. I thought it would last forever, but I knew that the jade seal of the country was destroyed in my generation..."

Chang Geng wanted to grab him hard or cry, but his whole body seemed to be fixed on the spot. He could only look at Gu Yun lightly and turn around, saying: "Gu has gone to apologize under the 9th fountain, and there is no need to see him again."

Then he passed through the wall and disappeared out of thin air. The open window was empty. Chang Geng was burning for a moment. He woke up with a scream. His heart beat like thunder. He breathed for three breaths. He came back to his senses and slowly exhaled a mouthful of depression in his chest. After realizing it, he realized that it was just a realistic .

I don’t know if it was because of drinking or something, but his head was sore and his limbs were sore. He slept all night more tired than not sleeping.

After calming down for a moment, Chang Geng was about to get up and drink a sip of water, and then closed his eyes to rest for a while. Unexpectedly, he just supported himself and suddenly saw a black shadow on the wooden chair by the window. The person who came breathed very gently and long. He was obviously a master. Even Chang Geng was shocked by the sound of his heartbeat and did not notice it for a while.

He instinctively shouted, "Who?"

The man smiled softly and said, "What are you doing in my bed?"

There was no more shock than this. Chang Geng had never woken up from his . At that time, his elbows softened and he fell back to the bed. Gu Yun's broken bed was hard from the bed board to the pillow. This collision was extraordinary. The meticulous and calm Prince Yan almost fainted by a pillow.

Gu Yun was startled and rushed to the bed to help him up.

He left Shen Yi and his own soldiers behind him, and rushed back two days in advance. He planned to rest for a night and go to scare Chang Geng tomorrow morning, but when he came in, he found that the bed was occupied by someone. He knew from Miss Chen that Chang Geng had a bad sleep and had difficulty falling asleep. He was easily alarmed when he fell asleep, so he was unable to wake him up.

"Where did you hit me? Oh, let me see," Gu Yun said inexplicably, "Although your behavior of occupying the magpie's nest is very bad, I didn't say anything. Why did you do something good when you see a ghost... and say, "What good things did you do on your back?"

Chang Geng trembled and grabbed his wrist. This time he grabbed the warm body temperature of the person. This temperature just allowed him to breathe a sigh of relief.

Gu Yun found that Chang Geng was a little unstable, so he wanted to say a few words to ease his words, so he said, "Why don't you ask me why I came back two days in advance?"

Chang Geng's face changed at that time.

Gu Yun's crow mouth continued: "I miss you, I'm just going to rush my feet..."

Chang Geng shouted sternly: "Don't say it!"

His throat was too tragic. Gu Yun paused, and then asked carefully: "Chang Geng, what's wrong?"

While saying that, he touched the steam light at the head of the bed.

But just twisted it gently, the steam light jumped in a mess twice, then it stopped moving with a "bang" and it turned out to be broken.
Chapter completed!
