I'm writing novels in Liaozhai

Upon hearing this, Gu Ming immediately got up and entered the palace.

In fact, he had roughly guessed what was going on, and it was because of the situation in the Western Regions.

Because Snake Princess has been staying in the Western Regions to secretly monitor the situation in all aspects, and if there is any important matter, she will send news back, faster than the news from the court.

As expected, upon meeting Emperor Yongping, he said, "My love, I have received a secret report that something is wrong with the situation in the Western Regions. More than a dozen countries headed by Dashi have frequently dispatched troops recently. Several countries stationed there launched a sneak attack.

Once they succeed, not only will the members of our mission suffer heavy casualties, but the prestige of our Great Yan Dynasty will also be greatly affected, and the hard work we have put in before will be in vain.

Do you have any good suggestions for this? "

Gu Ming thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty, in my opinion, this is probably the other party's bluff."

"bluff?"

"That's right, if the other party really wanted to sneak attack, they should have done it long ago. What they did was to deliberately create an illusion to force us to withdraw the mission."

Emperor Yongping nodded: "It is indeed possible, but Ai Qing, if the other party really launches a surprise attack, it will be too late for us to remedy it. Therefore, we still have to come up with a preventive measure."

"Well, this incident is most likely caused by the Sacred Fire Cult. The presence of our mission is not a good thing for them, so they will definitely do everything possible to counterattack.

That being the case, it might as well make the matter bigger and force them to show up. "

"Make it bigger? What does Ai Qing mean?"

"Your Majesty, since the other party is playing tricks on us, we might as well pretend. Your Majesty can order the mobilization of tens of thousands of soldiers and horses at the border gates, cross the border and march towards the Western Regions, and find a suitable place to set up camp.

In this way, even if the opponent really dares to send troops, we can arrive in time.

At the same time, secretly dispatch special forces to carry out the beheading plan, and give the other party a bloody lesson."

The two monarchs and ministers discussed secretly for more than an hour before Gu Ming hurriedly left the palace and began to dispatch manpower to implement the countermeasure plan

A few days later, Dayan assembled a team of more than [-] people at the border gate, marching mightily towards the Yina River.

In the end, they set up camp less than forty miles away from the Great Food Kingdom, which frightened everyone in the Great Food Kingdom into panic. Some nobles even dragged their families and fled far away, fearing that they would be affected by the flames of war.

But this is just the beginning.

In the next three days, Qiesu, Cheshi, Luzi, Gumo and other countries also fell into turmoil and panic.

The generals of several countries either disappeared mysteriously or were assassinated.

Many warehouses in the city where important materials were piled up also caught fire for no apparent reason.

Anyone can guess that the warning or revenge from Dayan Dynasty has finally come

This also plunged the entire Western Region into turmoil.

After all, no one can guess what Dayan Chao will do next.

In the past, because of the remoteness of the terrain, the troops from the Central Plains did not dare to step in easily, so they had nothing to fear.

Now the situation has become complicated and confusing, so they have to face up to the issue of life and death

No matter how cunning a fox is, it will eventually show its tail.

As the situation in the Western Regions continued to be turbulent, the Sacred Fire Cult, which always liked to hide in the dark and control the overall situation, could no longer hide, and finally began to surface

In addition to frantically counterattacking on their own territory, they also adopted the strategy of "treating others in the same way" and sent many members to the Central Plains to make trouble, intending to plunge the Central Plains into turmoil.

As a result, cleverness was misunderstood by cleverness.

Since ancient times, capable people and strangers have emerged in the Central Plains, so how can they tolerate foreigners from disturbing the rivers and lakes of the Central Plains?

Therefore, the invasion of the Sacred Fire Cult aroused the anger of the various sects, and formed a Jianghu alliance to launch a comprehensive counterattack.

In this way, the Sacred Fire Cult will be sad

To put it bluntly, they are still arrogant after all, seeking their own death.

This time, the imperial court and the Jianghu had a rare harmony, and they joined forces to carry out the encirclement and suppression.

Although the Sacred Fire Cult claims to have been passed down for thousands of years, how can it withstand such a violent blow?

After struggling for more than half a year, the old nest located deep in the desert was finally destroyed.

Since then, their so-called thousands of years of inheritance have completely disappeared.

Even some members who escaped by chance, in order to avoid being hunted down, they can only leave their hometowns incognito.

At this time, the countries in the Western Regions finally saw the true strength of the Great Yan Dynasty, and in awe they sent envoys to the capital of the Great Yan Dynasty. Many small countries voluntarily proclaimed their ministers and regarded the Great Yan Dynasty as their superior state.

Subsequently, many tribal leaders in the north also came to the court one after another.

Chapter 284 No food to eat, why don't you eat meat?

In this way, the Great Yan Dynasty naturally ushered in an unprecedented glorious moment.

As the emperor of today, Emperor Yongping had a high reputation for a while, and was regarded as Emperor Yongping by many people.

Of course, Emperor Yongping didn't lose his head because of this, he knew very well in his heart that Gu Ming contributed a lot to the Great Yan Dynasty's success today.

Since there is such a great contribution, it is natural to reward him heavily.

As a result, Gu Ming officially entered the cabinet, was conferred the title of Grand Master of Yuan Pavilion, and added the title of "Prince Grand Master".

Prince Taishi, Prince Taifu, and Prince Taibao are collectively known as the "Three Masters of the East Palace", which is equivalent to the prince's teacher.

The first-class hereditary Jinyihou, the Grand Master of Yuan Pavilion, and the Prince Taishi, these three titles are combined in one person. It can be said that Gu Ming is already considered an extremely human minister, and few ministers can compare with him.

In terms of title, he is a marquis, and there is a duke on top.However, the title is only a title and an honor, and has no real position and power.

The same is true for the prince and grand master, and it is also a title.

However, Gu Ming is also a cabinet scholar, so he is a real power figure, second only to the cabinet chief assistant.

Moreover, Yu Wei, the chief assistant of the cabinet today, is very old, and it is estimated that he will have to retire and return to his hometown after working in a few years.

Therefore, all the ministers knew that at that time, no one would be able to compete with Gu Ming.

But what people never expected was that when Gu Ming was on his way to the top and his future was boundless, there was a piece of news that shocked the government and the public.

"Have you heard that Master Gu wants to resign and return to his hometown?"

"Where did the gossip come from? This is absolutely impossible!"

"Scholar Gu is young and promising, how could the emperor agree to his return home?"

"This news came from the palace, and it is probably true."

"Then why on earth is this? If you don't want to be a bachelor, what does Master Gu think?"

"Could it be the emperor"

"Don't guess"

In fact, the news is indeed true.

It's not that Emperor Yongping crossed the river and demolished the bridge, but Gu Ming proposed it after careful consideration.

Right now, the Great Yan Dynasty has entered an era of unprecedented glory, and the surrounding small countries and tribes have come to the dynasty one after another. It is believed that friction is unlikely to occur in a short period of time.

And some of the plans and plans that Gu Ming proposed before have been successfully implemented.

For example, the Dayan Dictionary has begun to be popularized across the country, and it will be used as the content of the imperial examination in the future.

Some are going on smoothly, such as Yongping Grand Ceremony.

Gu Ming has been participating in the preliminary preparations, arrangement and other preparations, and personally drew up a detailed plan.

The reason is that now we only need to compile it according to the plan. If there is no accident, the Yongping Grand Ceremony will almost be officially launched in another year.

Special Forces, Ordnance Department, etc. are also becoming more mature

Therefore, after deliberation, Gu Ming made the decision to rush back.

After all, he has almost reached the top in the officialdom, and next, he should return to the Tao and strive to embark on the road to holiness as soon as possible.

When Gu Ming formally proposed to Emperor Yongping to resign and return to his hometown, Emperor Yongping couldn't help being taken aback.

Although he had been mentally prepared for a long time, knowing that Gu Ming was not an ordinary person and would leave the officialdom sooner or later, he did not expect to come so soon.

After a heart-to-heart exchange between the monarch and his ministers, Emperor Yongping finally agreed to Gu Ming's request to resign.

However, the titles of first-class hereditary Jinyihou and Prince Taishi still exist. After all, these two titles are just titles and have no real positions.

Even so, Gu Ming's status is still very high, and all the princes, including the prince, have to take the initiative to greet him and call him teacher or sir when they meet the princess.

At the same time, Gu Ming also promised Emperor Yongping that he would come to the palace every once in a while to give lectures for a few days, or make suggestions or something.

After all, he is the prince and grand master, and these are matters within the scope of his duties.

In order to express his gratitude, Emperor Yongping once again bestowed a fief to Gu Ming, which was Montenegro.

That is to say, from now on, Montenegro will belong to Gu Ming's private territory, and he can transform it however he wants.

In addition to the fief, Emperor Yongping generously rewarded Gu Ming with a lot of gold, silver, jade, silk, etc., as well as a door plaque inscribed by the imperial pen: First-class Jinyi Houfu.

A month later, Gu Ming once again returned to his hometown in fine clothes.

This time, compared to the time when the champion returned to his hometown, the ostentation was much bigger.

It can also be said that it was the most ostentatious return of officials to their hometowns since the founding of the Great Yan Dynasty.

There are a total of [-] soldiers and horses guarding, and [-] of them are elite special forces.It can be said that with only these five hundred elites, they can stand up to thousands of soldiers and horses.

It's not that Gu Ming wants to pay attention to ostentation, but Emperor Yongping's intention.

On the one hand, it is to express gratitude and importance to Gu Ming, on the other hand, it is also to show the world that he is not an emperor who has forgotten his roots.

This time, Emperor Yongping specially ordered the prince to accompany him, instead of him, to escort Gu Ming all the way back to his hometown.

Princess Ningyang learned about this from her mother, and immediately began to act like a baby, insisting on going with her brother.

The queen can't be the master, so she can only go to the emperor to discuss it.

In the end, Princess Ningyang dragged her younger sister, Princess Anyun, to run together in front of the Queen Mother, acting like a spoiled child and crying, saying that she was reluctant to leave her husband, so she had to see him off.By the way, I also went out with the prince's brother to observe the people's sentiments.

To put it bluntly, I just want to take advantage of this rare opportunity to sneak out of the palace to play.

The Empress Dowager always doted on these two little granddaughters, so she felt soft and begged for the two little granddaughters in front of the emperor.

Emperor Yongping didn't have the face to refute his mother, and nodded in agreement.

After all, with Gu Ming around, at least the prince and princess don't have to worry about their safety.

This time, the two little girls were so happy that they ran back to the dormitory and tossed and tossed about their things, and even loaded three big carts with them.

When they left Beijing, the two little girls in the city were alright, they sat in the car well-behaved and maintained the reservedness of a princess.

Not far from the city, demon moths started to make noise, clamoring to take the husband's car.

As soon as the two of them got into the car, Ying Ningke was in trouble

"Wow, what a beautiful puppy"

As soon as Princess An Yun got into the car, little stars began to appear in her eyes.

You're the puppy, your whole family is.

Ying Ning cares about you lazily.

"Master, mother, let people hug the puppy too, okay?"

Princess Ningyang looked at Nie Xiaoqian eagerly and begged.

"puff"

Yu'er, who was following the car, couldn't help laughing out loud.

Poor Ying Ning

"You two little princesses, this is a little white fox named Ying Ning, not a puppy."

Nie Xiaoqian explained with a smile.

"So it's a little white fox, can it bite people?"

Gu Ming also smiled and said, "Ying Ning only bites bad people."

"People are not bad people, people are not bad people"

An Yun quickly waved his chubby little hands.

That cute little appearance made Nie Xiaoqian's love overflowing, and she couldn't help pulling her to her side, caressing her little face lovingly and said: "Of course you are not a bad person, you are a cute little princess."
