In the early summer of the eighth year of Long'an, the countries in the Western Regions were unable to resist, they gathered the remnants of the army, opened the door of the country, and jointly signed a petition to surrender to the suzerain.
At the entrance of the ancient Silk Road, the countries of the Western Regions sat with the representative of Daliang for the second time and were forced to negotiate peace.
When the opponent was defeated, Gu Yungen was too lazy to show up, and only sent Shen Yi to act as a full-time representative.
Shen Yi came with Daliang's harsh requirements - first, he had to knock a lot of gold and silver, and secondly, he had to build Daliang garrison in various countries in the Western Regions to monitor the vassal. Since then, except for Loulan as an ally, the rest of the vassal are not allowed to prepare one. All pieces of lighter steel armor, including light furs, were all destroyed. Finally, Da Liang requested that the vassal state should pay tribute to Da Liang and more than 70% of the Zi Liu Jin that was issued each year.
Shen Yi felt a toothache when he read this clause by himself.
The first negotiation broke down. The next day, Gu Yun brought 300 heavy armors to attack the remnants of the Western Regions that had surrendered. It doesn't matter if the other two don't agree, he immediately leads people to massacre the city.
The slaughter of the city hurts the heavens and peace. Generally only the northern barbarians do this. There is very little such an attitude in the Daliang army, but the people in the western regions are worried about Gu Yun's hatred for the bombing, and suspect that he can do anything. At the beginning Even though he was still tough, when Gu Yun opened the city gate, the representatives of the coalition forces at the negotiating table finally persuaded him.
After several hagglings, it failed. Three days later, the "New Treaty of Loulan" was signed. Under the deterrence of Gu Yun's heavy army, the countries first cleared their domestic war preparations at the fastest speed, and then they made a lot of bitterness to piece it together for a year. purple flow gold.
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 the streets and alleys of the capital, and the long streets were covered with finely broken acacia flowers.
There was a lot of wind and rain about the reform of the official governance, and the chaos that everyone imagined it would lead to miraculously did not appear.
First of all, the aristocratic clans are not stupid, even if they are dissatisfied with the way King Yan digs money from their pockets, but they also understand that compared to themselves, those poor Hanlins who were born in the imperial examinations and can’t collect a few taels of silver from their bodies. They are the ones who hate this policy the most. They can't be blamed for doing this for others, so at the beginning, all of these people hid and prepared to watch jokes.
Unexpectedly, this matter is really evil, except for a few stubborn old and sour scholars who came out and said a few nonsense words such as "style" or "style", the court didn't even turn over the water.
Chang Geng first sent a letter to win the emperor, and presented his longer-term vision for the beacon ticket to Li Feng. He wrote a clear outline of the ins and outs, skillfully concealed and skillfully exaggerated, and finally drew a big cake for the emperor - given time The beacon ticket is implemented from top to bottom, which can bring all the private gold and silver in the world back to the national treasury, and the private people can buy and sell full-screen bills. available situation.
Li Feng had previously thought that some of King Yan's ideas were too deviant and unorthodox, but only then did he realize that this person was not unorthodox, but simply wanted to step on the word "orthodox" under his feet.
In the past, the First Emperor received the soldiers of the world to cast gold people, and today there is a Prince Yan who collects the wealth of the world.
But this idea is too tempting. After Li Feng understood the concept of "replacing gold and silver trading with a few pieces of paper", on the one hand, he was vaguely uneasy, on the other hand, he couldn't resist the temptation. After three days of deduction, after repeated deliberation, he finally ate this cake without hesitation, and ordered Chang Geng to do it, but he repeatedly warned that the means should not be too extreme, especially for those rising stars who came from poor families in the court, they should "succeed slowly" .
What Emperor Li Feng didn't know was that as early as when King Yan wrote a letter asking for changes in the administration of officials, the richest man in the south of the Yangtze River brought thirteen people from all over the world to Beijing and invited them to the small restaurant where Linyuan Mupai chose the owner. one time guest.
The small restaurant came in a dilapidated state and was not well known. A few years ago, it was obscured by the light of Qiyuanlou like a firefly under the moon, and the roots of bad eyes could not be found. At the beginning of the year, I took a rest and officially opened the door to welcome guests. Two more floors were added to the original two-story building. The broken bricks and tiles were reorganized very cleanly. It was renamed "Wangnan Building". The sadness of Banbi's fall is very fitting - few people know that this half-dead restaurant is Du Wanquan's property.
When the two sides negotiated for the first time, it was very difficult. The scholars were self-righteous, and they had been in the sea for many years. They were really unwilling to deal with these copper-covered people, and most of them came to perfunctory entertainment.
Who would have known that Du Wanquan was not simple after contacting him.
Du Wanquan once went to the Western Ocean by boat and saw the real world. His conversation and the ravines in his chest were different from those of ordinary businessmen Tianyuan. A three-inch tongue could talk the dead alive, and Jiang Chong calmly spoke. From the mediation, many people's minds soon floated.
And just as the decree of the reform of official governance was silently infiltrating everywhere, Du Wanquan and others opened the largest private room in Wangnan Tower, and for the second time they entertained a total of eight important officials of the court headed by Jiang Chong.
All of them were helpless in the DPRK, they were officials in the imperial examinations, and they started from scratch.
This time, the secret conversation lasted for more than four hours, and when the moon was on the branch, the first Jiang Chong raised his glass to the end.
Jiang Chong stood up in awe, looked around, and many people drank too much between cups.
"Today is full of wine and food, and everyone is tired. I will not spoil the scenery. I will bring a cup. The big guys have drank the residual wine and dispersed." Jiang Chong said, "As long as we continue to fight this battle, the beacon fire ticket It is imperative to implement, and all the princes are united in the country.”
When Jiang Chong said this, he stopped without going to the village or the store.
Dedicated to the country, please also consider your own way out.
For many years, the giants who have been unable to talk about the current situation and government and desperately hope to have their own spokespersons meet with a group of powerless and clean-minded civil servants and formally form an alliance.
After sending the civil servants and businessmen away one by one, Du Wanquan returned to Wangnan Building alone, and went straight to the room next to the private room. There are two taels of rice wine, a bowl of porridge and a plate of side dishes on the table. Half a bowl of porridge is drunk, and three points are left over from the wine.
Du Wanquan no longer looked like he had been slender, and respectfully stepped forward to greet him and said, "Lord Yan."
Chang Geng nodded politely: "Du Gong."
Du Wanquan glanced at the clear porridge and side dishes on the table, and hurriedly said, "My lord saves every day, I really admire it, but this Wangnan Building is our own property, why don't we call it something smooth? Xia, I asked them to prepare something pure and healthy."
"Don't be busy, I'll just eat this," Chang Geng waved his hand and said, "Today's affairs are entirely up to Duke Du, I'll work for you."
Du Wanquan said in a hurry that he didn't dare. Seeing him getting up to leave, he diligently raised the umbrella on one side: "The car has been prepared in the backyard, the lord is here, please."
If it is said that at the beginning, when the monk knew the Linyuan wooden plaque, the person who was most reluctant was undoubtedly Du Wanquan - he really relied on the folk power of Linyuan Pavilion in his early years to make a fortune, but after earning this family business, It was impossible for Du Wanquan to admit how much help Linyuan Pavilion had in it. At this time, he would devote his whole life to it for a person he had never met, but he was personally unwilling.
But after being in contact with King Yan for more than half a year, Du Wanquan is the one who is most willing to saddle up for King Yan.
Du Cai has traveled south and north for many years, and his knowledge and experience are all higher than ordinary people. He vaguely feels that Chang Geng is indeed in danger of saving the country, but more of it is paving the way. Du Wanquan has an indescribable sense of excitement - Daliang's precarious Lu Ziwudi And Xing, Yuan and Emperors were flourishing and declining, and Long'an Emperor was at the end of the road—it is indeed an era that is about to enter a new turning point.
He got on the big boat with just a wooden sign.
Just as Chang Geng walked to the door, he suddenly touched his waist inadvertently, and his footsteps stopped.
Du Wanquan caught a glimpse and quickly asked, "What is your lord looking for?"
"It's nothing," Chang Geng paused, seeming to be absent-minded, "The fragrance is used."
These days, he has taken care of everything, Ansan consumes too fast, and he has not been able to be matched for a while, Chang Geng sighed and smiled at Du Wanquan: "It's okay, Duke Du will stay, there is no need to send it - tell Duke Fenghan, he will never forget it. There will be a day when it will come true.”
He's not very good at drinking - his status as a prince is there. Usually, no matter what the occasion is, there will always be two hundred and five people who dare to drink him. Although Chang Geng has never been completely drunk because of his self-control, he starts to have a headache after drinking two or three cups. The ability to infer, the amount of alcohol may indeed not be acceptable.
Chang Geng usually doesn't drink alcohol, but he was so tired after listening to the corner for more than four hours that day, so he was slightly stimulated by two taels of yellow wine. Unexpectedly, this little drunk not only does not help him 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, until it was almost four watch, he was only confused for a while. While half asleep, he seemed to hear someone entering the door. He rolled over and woke up, raised his hand and turned on the small gas lamp hanging by the bedside. As a result, I don't know if it was rainy and humid in the capital these days, or if there was no one living in the house for several days. The light only flickered once and then went off.
The visitor sat familiarly on the small couch and said with a smile, "What are you doing on my bed?"
Chang Geng was taken aback, his eyes were accustomed to the darkness, and he saw that Gu Yun had come back with a little light, so he hurriedly asked, "Isn't it two days before I arrive in the capital, why is it so fast?"
Gu Yun casually stretched and leaned to the side: "I miss you, I ran back ahead of time by myself."
The last time we said goodbye was at the end of the year. In an instant, winter turned to spring. Now it’s summer, and I haven’t seen anyone for half a year. Although Gu Yun’s battle report often contains “private goods”, he sends a letter every once in a while, but how can it be compared? Shangzhen is in front of you
Chang Geng thought he couldn't think of it, so he immediately rushed up and hugged him.
However, Gu Yun leaned back, dodging his hand lightly, and fell to the window like a piece of paper. The rain had stopped outside, and the moonlight quietly meandered into the room from the puddle, Gu Yun stood behind the back light. , Chang Geng saw the light fur and armor on his body that would not take off for ten thousand years.
"Why do you move your feet as soon as you meet?" Gu Yun said, "I just came to see you."
After hearing the first half of the sentence, Chang Geng couldn't help laughing and laughing. He thought that he would sue the wicked first, and he didn't know who would be more hands-on. When he heard the second half of the sentence, his smile suddenly subsided, and he vaguely felt something was wrong: "Zixi, what's wrong with you?"
Gu Yun didn't say anything, just looked at him.
The two sat down one by one, relatively speechless for a long while, as if they were saying goodbye.
Chang Geng's heart jumped wildly for no reason, so that he could hardly hold anything else in his chest, and he couldn't catch his breath. Unable to bear, he got up and walked towards Gu Yun, from the side of the bed to the small window, but it was only four or five steps away, but he didn't seem to be able to reach the end.
He moved forward a little while Gu Yun had to step back.
Chang Geng turned around and grabbed the gas lamp pinned to the head of the bed, frantically twisting the mechanism on it, the gas lamp made a few bursts and suddenly turned on, and the room was blazing. Yun, but saw the face of the person beside the window as white as paper, with a ash that did not look like a living person, and two lines of blood dripped down the corners of his mouth and the corners of his eyes with cinnabar moles.
The gas light went off again with a "pop".
Gu Yun sighed in a low voice: "I can't see the light, what do you want it to do Chang Geng, I'll be leaving now."
What does "can't see the light" mean? Chang Geng almost went crazy on the spot, desperately pounced on him, desperately reaching out to grab, but only caught a handful of cold and bone-piercing black armor.
Chang Geng hissed: "You live, where are you going! Gu Zixi!"
"Go to the place where you should go." Gu Yun's voice contained some coldness, "Now that you have full wings, you have taken advantage of Linyuan Pavilion, seized the Li family's mountains and rivers, and the world is in the palm of your hand, what means? Li Feng Didn't I die in your hands? It's useless for me to stay for a long time, so I came here to say goodbye."
Chang Geng said anxiously, "No, wait, I don't have"
He intuitively wanted to refute that he didn't, but the words couldn't come out of his mouth, and he was confused for a while, feeling that what Gu Yun said seemed to be indeed his own doing.
Gu Yun said coldly: "I was entrusted by the late emperor to bring you back from Yanhui Town, and take care of you until you are an adult. I hope that even if you are not a talented person, at least you have a good personality and a bright personality. Good man of the month, how did you do it?"
In the early summer night, Chang Geng suddenly felt an unprecedented cold.
"I took care of you to grow up according to the emperor's will, but I didn't expect that the one who was raised was a wolf of Zhongshan." Gu Yun sighed slightly, "Daliang has been two hundred years since the founding of Taizu, and I thought it would last forever. The Jade Seal of the State of Knowledge is destroyed in the hands of my generation"
Chang Geng wanted to grab him fiercely, or cried and screamed, but the whole person seemed to be frozen in place, so he could only watch Gu Yun lightly turn around, and said: "Gu Mou Jiuquanzhi I'm sorry, I don't need to see you again."
Then he actually passed through the wall and disappeared out of thin air. The open window was empty. Chang Geng was all burned in a short time. He screamed and woke up. A sigh of relief was exhaled, and I realized with hindsight that it was just a realistic nightmare.
I don't know if it was because of drinking or what. His head was throbbing and his limbs were sore. After sleeping all night, he was more tired than not sleeping at all.
He quietly calmed down for a moment. Chang Geng was about to get up to drink some water, and then closed his eyes for a while. Who knew that he had just propped himself up and suddenly saw a dark shadow on the wooden chair by the window. , and even Chang Geng was shocked by the noise of his own heartbeat, but he didn't notice it for a while.
He candidly shouted, "Who?"
The man smiled lowly: "What are you doing in my bed?"
There was no greater fright than this. Chang Geng never woke up from the nightmare. At that time, his elbow was soft and he fell back on the bed. Gu Yun's broken bed was hard everywhere from the bed board to the pillow. This collision was no trivial matter. , the meticulous and calm Prince Yan was almost knocked out by a pillow.
Gu Yun was startled and rushed to the bed to help him up.
He left Shen Yi and all the personal soldiers behind him, and he came back two days early, planning to rest for the night to scare Chang Geng in the morning, but when he entered the door, he found that the bed was occupied by someone. He knew from Miss Chen that Chang Geng couldn't sleep well, so it was difficult to fall asleep, and he was easily disturbed when he fell asleep, so he was not willing to wake him up.
"Where did you bump into? Well, let me see," Gu Yun said inexplicably, "although your behavior of occupying a magpie's nest is very bad, I didn't say anything. What good have I done?"
Chang Geng shivered and grabbed his wrist. This time, what he grabbed was the warm body temperature of a human being, and this temperature just gave him a sigh of relief.
Gu Yun found Chang Geng's mood was a little unstable, so he wanted to say a few words to calm down, so he said, "Why didn't you ask me why I came back two days earlier?"
Chang Geng's expression changed at that time.
Gu Yun's crow mouth continued, "I miss you, I'm going to work on my own."
Chang Geng shouted sharply, "Don't say it!"
His voice was so tragic that Gu Yun paused, then asked cautiously, "Chang Geng, what's wrong?"
As he spoke, he touched the gas lamp by the bedside.
But with such a slight twist, the gas lamp jumped abruptly twice, and then there was no movement with a "pop", and it was actually broken.
In an instant, reality and nightmare overlapped with an incredible coincidence. Chang Geng let out a hoarse cry. The vague aches and pains in his limbs poured into his heart like a tide, turning into one hundred and eighty thousand kinds of terrifying things. Illusion, opened his bloody mouth, and swallowed him whole in one bite.
